Faerie you are a paradox. You are the main reason I would want to go red, but you are also the main reason I want to stay the hell away from red. I see you valiantly fighting corruption with kindness, making your way to the top and treating everyone equally and I think that looks like fun. Then I see like four posts of you being camped the fuck out and downleveling 3 times a day, and I think yeah fucking right. I tried red once a few weeks ago. Tried it with three different classes and starting points. Got griefed out on all three within the second day. If blue dies in a fire tonight, I'll quit EQ before I go red.

Maybe we're all masochists on red, but the possibility of massive grief like that really deepens the meaning of e-relationships you have with other players. This is the main reason I like pvp, I think. Who you are, whom you associate with; these things matter on red. It's easy to keep a friend on blue, but are you really willing to fight for them, if it could cost you loot or other friends? I good MMO should be like a Jane Austen novel [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Without pvp, the community aspect of the game is really lacking .

I guess I just have to disagree with you. If I were to spend a week leveling from 50 to 55 and earning tons of plat through hard working killing says seafuries, and some asshat over geared griefer came and took it from me in one fell corpse camping swoop, I would literally break everything around me in a fit of rage. That doesn't sound like fun at all.

I'm still playing...kinda lonely tho...even Mav seems to have thrown in the towel.

Red isn't really that bad. Yeah there are a few assholes but, I just try to avoid them or add them to my friend list so I can get some revenge on them eventually [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I have to say that after playing red for a few weeks, blue seems super easy.

How the hell did you manage to get griefed on 3 different characters in 2 days on red? I ran in to like 15 people total on my couple of weeks on the pvp server and they were all nothing but helpful, one guy even helped me do a quest for a decent weapon. Were you shit-talking in OOC the whole time or something?

2 days to each character. Meaning on the second day of playing my druid I was camped. Two days later, on the monk I was camped. Two days later on the cleric I was camped. No, I never said a word, not in ooc, not in tells. I literally never used my keyboard except to walk and hail.

Okay I guess you're the unluckiest man in the world then. Either that or I am the luckiest.

Mav on vacation yomama and with work I only get a good 40 mins in b4 I'm passing out on red.

I was excited about TME; thought maybe if it got going and you recruited enough bluebies you could challenge Nihilum for raid content. It sounds like playing blue is getting in the way of you guys doing this, so you should just quit blue and play the real server full time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
