Level 60 TMO Bard being bind camped by level 1 red players in West Freeport

You can join red and actually get to experience content the way it was intended, not afk for hours on end for the mob to die in less than one AE and figure out after who gets the loot. All it takes is one guild sick of not being able to have a set schedule for raids to say they're sick of it and reroll red together. It would take a month tops of poop sock to be all 55+ and competing for raid spawns. Note competing, not AFKing. The individual imbalances of EQ PVP can be minimized by coordination in large scale PVP. If a guild here would take their bat phone coordination and apply it to mass PVP they would be surprised at the results. Assisting raid leaders in PVP is not rocket science.

HB laying the truth on these bluebies. rather die in pvp for raid mobs than sit on a spawn for 72 hours hoping to get FTE lawl

Even if you lose at least you're playing the game, and then you can pack your bags and move to a different raid mob or camp. The only reason there's no other competition on red is because the opposition has zero organization and raid coordination, not because eq PVP is unfair.

Is not the PvP server using some custom code added for PvP? I would rather play on a server thriving to be classic as possible and maybe with teams or level limits on who can attack who.

[heartbrand]

I agree, teams would have been nice, but you can already get a similar experience by joining a guild, or better yet, bringing your own guild over. There is a level range in place. I know the forums are awful but truthfully you can level up to 50 pretty much unmolested with the occasional skirmish here and there and most people honor loot and scoot at those levels. Plus if you bring a crew it's even less of an issue. Yes, there are some fags but that's why there's ignore + I guarantee if red pop jumped Rogean would take a serious interest in cracking down on some of the crazies.

P99 red = worst in-game and forum community ever. Yes PVP is nice and fun, and the staff did a great job at offering a red server. Community there, not so much.

Disclaimer: skorge is a faggot who would spam guild chat and ooc with unwatchable videos he made on you tube in an attempt to make ad dollars while trying to trade lockets of escape (hundreds in circulation on red) for cloaks of flames (top shelf red item).

Ha, your guild is extremely stacked on Red. It is a guild death sentence to reroll on Red.

First a blue guild would lose a number of members who just don't like pvp and would rather skip it, then they would lose members who don't want to deal with the red player base, then after all that and they started leveling they would drop to xp rates and griefing. Finally when they made it into end game raiding and start getting stomped by alts with vp gear and epics, they'll just die out as a guild.

You, however, already know this and just want to see the red pop increase for a few months and also finally have someone to kill for your pixels.

Again, rerolling on red as a guild is suicide unless you have a massive army (about the server's population @ prime time)

Heartbrand, visit a psychologist pal, shit's getting scary

In PVP most people wear resist jewelry, skeans, etc., all easily obtainable. One of the best classes, rogue, has the easiest epic. Wizards are godly and you need zero gear. Even tstaff, the best item on the server, is obtainable solo. 75hp from a crown of rile isn't saving you when you're fighting a better organized team who assist correctly and pell their target. Fuck, battles can be won with golem wands, an item obtainable by a level 35 Mage box. It takes one day played with PL to hit 50. Druid, shaman, enchanter boxes can be had for blue plat. The jump is no where as hard as you make it out to be.
