Greetings Blue

[Swish]

Obviously the idea is to stop corpse camping/griefing. That upset people, so the forum propaganda began highlighting how terrible the new rule is. Chairman Mao and pals doing a fine job too.

Well for the record, don't let the forums or OOC scare you about Red. Most people/players on Red are good people who just want to enjoy Classic eq as it was with PVP. However the 10 people that are habitual greifers and assholes really take it to the next level.

If I had more energy I would argue with you about it only being 10 people. It's always WAAAY more than that. In my experience PvP servers/etc throughout the MMO genre (and all other gaming genres for that matter [CoD anyone?]) attract the biggest douchebags bottom feeders humanity has to offer. I'm no psychologist but I can promise you this is a universal truth and why I avoid PvP centric servers and games. Shame, I love the challenge but I'm not interested in associating with these assholes. THIS is why the population of red is so low. Period. I don't even have to have played there for one fucking second to know either. Just go check their forums for a small taste.

Edit: No, I'm not bitter at all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Once you get to know them? What are they like to strangers or people they don't like? You'll learn a LOT more about a person by how they treat strangers than how they treat friends.

When you first start you will notice most people will want to do nothing but help you start give you plat and gear and advice. Once you start leveling up to the higher levels and run in to the habitual griefers... the people who literally just stay in one zone IE Guk, Unrest places like that then it starts to become an issue. But my first experiences with Red was nothing but pleasant. I am not saying try it as I am moving to blue. but the move doesn't come from the community as I still stand by most of the players there are not as toxic as the 20 or so people on the forums indicate or the same people in OOC lead you to believe as well. I am moving to blue because of recent rules implemented by the GM's. That for someone who doesn't really ever engage in pvp ( I just like the threat of it) keeps me from leveling in a zone where I was engaged in pvp.

You were a good member of red dawn and will be missed. Unfortunately eq pve is a joke with about zero difficulty so I find no satisfaction in blue but I hope you do.

You have friends there, I can respect that, but I would point out that you're leaving the server because of new code/rules they put in place because of the incessant douche bag griefing going on there.

I don't know man, DAOC was the best PvP MMO ever made and had one of the best communities.
