Powerlevel, Alts, Charm kill shit in Kedge/Chardok, Group in Sebilis/Charasis, Help people with epics. Occasionally help guilds with Fear/Hate/Sky.

So my 6 examples of things I do, gets scoffed of as "yea but that gets boring eventually".

I shall return that argument onto yours. "Yea PvP is fun for some PKs and fights, but then? Let alone the endless drama of corpse camping and players killing people in the bottom of their level bracket..."

To each their own. But history has proven EQ Blue is multitudes more popular than EQ Red. And with limited developer energy/time, it should be focused on the masses. Period. The end.

I have 0 character on red99, never have never will.

But if you want to talk about Red99 shit, there is a Red99 forum here.

Stop shitting up the Blue forum with stupid PvP ideas.

C'mon guys, the best "pvp" on red is reporting someone for violating PnP... give it a try!

the mainproblem about red is the players fear about it.

eq is not meant to be easy, long corpseruns, patience on camps etc. thats the only reason why most blue players are scared to play red and not because "it just sucks", "eq is not designed for pvp" or some other bullsh1t.

players who play red are mostly players who know every ins and outs of this game. so yes, you can say that eq-red sucks, but its not because of the game itself.

eq pvp is in fact the zenith of this games experience. blue, for me, was just a prologue.

Making another Blue server would see 10x the traffic as another red server. Its a friday evening and red doesn't even have 100 toons logged on...
There were teams of people devoted to working on pvp content for pvp servers. Seeing how there were 4 pvp servers and 19 regular servers 1 out of 6 people on played eq pvp and enjoyed it. They had to build new pvp servers over the years because they kept filling up with people bored of end game content and wanted more then arenas.

Eq pve is not balanced. Eq pvp is not balanced. Balance is boring. This game is fun because it isn't balanced. This game has a bunch of unique un-balanced classes that when come together create something more unique. Its the same for pvp and pve.

The blue server is too crowded. I don't have to wait for camps on red. There are no guilds sitting on their asses because its another guilds turn to raid tonight. If someone is an ass I can try to kill them. People are happy to group and don't shun you from exp spots because you rolled a hybrid.



I think most people don't play on R99 because its too intimidating.



They have to make friends with people who could kill them, they have to fight or run from players who are more powerful or higher level then them, they start the game alone with everyone against them.

Eventually after playing for a while you make friends and alliances and win and lose some battles and realize it isn't so intimidating.
