I can attest to this. Got killed by a Fungi twink, and went to play a match of LoL, came back and he had moved on and continued to exp for hours after that unharassed. While he did stay a groupmate called LNS got his corpse and went about his way while I afk'd

People kill you with twinks cause they enjoy it, but LNS protects you and most dont sit there for hours(keyword most) but either way, the world is large, go somewhere else.

See the few that compromise "MOST wont" are the one that give red 99 the bad impression at least from my point of view.

I understand the new LnS and will probably give red99 another shot. I will try to keep an open mind.

For me personally, since most people are fresh right now...its been more enjoyable. You dont have people bitching about OMG A ROGUE WITH NO EPIC and stuff feels like more of an accomplishment.

Also don't feel like I'll get cockblocked out of any content solely because neckbeards camp it/batphone constantly. If I fail to get access to something its because I(people Im with) couldnt kill the other competition and knowing thats what I have to look forward to, keeps me going.

reroll from ban? or new join and never even experienced raiding on blue?

either way i think its time to shut your idiot mouth

I played on VZTZ before so I'm not completely opposed to EQ PVP, but I quit VZTZ because it was run by corrupt admins and the server was populated by the most toxic and hostile crowd of basement dwelling morons I've ever seen in 15 years of online gaming.

And what a surprise, today they play on red 99.

[Buellen]

Sorry should have clarified my 2 experiences where when first server came up and about 6month to 9 months ago on the second instance.

This two event probably are a good example why i never really came back to red99.

I dont mind PvP even though i am not very good at it. I get beat down so be it I just never understood the fascination some of the (hopefully no longer) community with killing another player when they are not a challenge to you over and over.

Will never play on Red as it is.

Reason 1 : FFA is a clear no, no. I simply cannot understand the drive to kill some player who asked nothing, was doing his camp annoying nobody and had no possibility to defend himself anyway. Yes this was my case. I had the unpleasant impression that the people who were killing me were insane if THAT was how they get their gaming pleasure.

Reason 2 : The people on Red were toxic. Not only toxic on ooc but toxic as in bent mind (see 1).

Reason 3 : The levelling is a grind in EQ by construction. On the red it is triple grind and as a premium you have to watch over your shoulder all the time to check if some grinning lunatic is not creeping behind your back.

The only way I see some PvP making sense in EQ is RvR or Team (like DAOC, TESO, Wow ....). The insanity seems to be easier to be supported when it is shared with a crowd having the same ennemy you have. On top it minimizes the most unpleasant experience which is to be PKed by a much stronger player who enjoys the school bully mentality. I could play Team PvP on EQ but never ever FFA.

[Scikala]

Nope, new account to be more in line with my in game name.

And feel free to be all bent out of shape because of the truth. Only proves it.

i got jumped by way too many people 8 levels above me while i was already fighting a mob and i was low health.

meaningful PVP is one thing. running around just to gank easy kills and get some YT is dumb though.

The level range 1-60 on Red 99 is now +/- 4. So no more getting jumped by someone 8 levels higher than you.

Yeah, LnS is a relatively new implementation (it's less than 6 months old) and it's working really well. If you want to get your corpse and scoot, you have that option now regardless of what the other person wants to do. Just make sure you call it so they know what you are doing, or they'll assume you're coming back to fight!

Please keep this out of my thread. I asked about 30 posts back for this shit to stop. He didn't attack you, so don't attack him.

Just wanted to give another thanks to everyone who's posted feedback, and would like to reiterate that most of the concerns I'm seeing people express in this thread have been addressed in the last 6 months. A lot of you who didn't want to try/quit playing Red will find it's a great place to play now if you give it a shot. Hope to see you there (we're doing another event tonight! Will post/broadcast when I have more information)

still sucks getting jumped by anyone regardless of level you when you are already actively engaged with a mob. perhaps i'm just whining, though -- i preferred to solo when i played red, and that issue wouldn't have been so bad if i had grouped more.

still, though -- back in the day on Zek servers on live it was considered very poor taste to jump someone who was actively engaged with an EXP mob. different if its a good named or a raid mob, of course. but why jump an unguilded soloer fighting dar ghoul knights in LGuk? (it wasn't even FoH btw, i had an agreement worked out with Chewie) would make far more sense to try to recruit an unguilded soloer rather than potentially giving them an EXP death.
