It isn't an EQ PvP server if it doesn't have 20 level 8 halflings fighting 20 dark elfs in east commons or some random, jackass barbarian wandering around innothule for no reason with 50 trolls chasing it. Eight years from now, Rogean will wipe server and change to SZ rules.

There was a reason SZ had the lowest population :P

SZ had higher population than EVERY OTHER SERVER IN EQ for like months after it was released.

Make sure you hatch devious plots and expose people on the forums. Very important part of playing.

Most people who talk shit about server are just mad.

Server is alive and well, even growing these past few weeks.

Most legit red server ever. Kunark is amazing.




I don't understand why some people don't play on Red, yet lurk the forum 24 hours a day and is able to be the first post on a new players thread talking shit. Like... that is just fucking sad.

There is some wisdom to Samwise's outlandish claim. You can read the forums and enjoy the server, but it's helpful to know that these forums to not represent the Red99 community. Most of the posters here don't play the server anymore (if they ever did), are internet badasses (something akin to a Napoleon Complex, as far as I can tell) and complain about everything incessantly.

In game, my experience has been tremendously better. Azrael will train you, and Nihilum will CC you after PvE death, though, so if you want to raid be prepared to get to know some unsavory characters. In general people are very nice, and I think if you can keep a positive attitude you can prevent the others from getting to you.

If you do not play a solo class and can't get Nihilum PL, be warned: it's a long, hard road. There is a leveling guild, that was created to hopefully bring some people together. Look up <Serenity> in game if you so choose, but no griefing please!

Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

There is an insanely high demand for Druids right now, and Nihilum (Red99's premier raiding guild) currently has open recruitment, no applying needed.
