Inexplicable urge to red amidst growing trepidation

[Fame]

pvp not greef

That's okay, i doubt there is much latent superstar left in me after all these years.

It just seems somewhat more pointless (than usual, i know this is everquest etc lol) to be one of a class in a sea of said class, you know? Like lordy there must be several small countries worth of shaman on blue, most immersion-slaying indeed.

in classic if my corpse was camped id just log in another toon. maybe 1 or 2 deaths max during cr for a year + and this was before the pnp. if you are dumb enuff to throw yourself at players naked, i dont know what to tell u.

PnP is the only thing the blues needed. We have it. There's no reason not to get your feet wet now if you're inclined to try red. Everyone needs clerics. Azrael even gives out cleric packages.

Op, 1 month ago I was in your shoes. It definitely sucks that the group pvp aspect of the game is a long ways off from level 1, but red is fun as a change of pace from blue and there is some hope on the horizon for changes to the server giving the 1-50 game some of the help it needs.

Fire up your cleric and start soloing (or grouping, though clerics can definitely let you solo to 50 on your own pace), just keep in mind this IS red... so if you go to unrest expect a twink to kill you, if you afk logged in expect to die, etc. But it really isn't the super inhospitable environment a lot of people think it is if you play smart... other than the low pop (which, again, hopefully will be turned around soon).

play smart

That's actually the only thing i'm concerned about-- the pop. I fully expect to die, cr, possibly take somewhat longer to be slewn during successive pvp outings, etc. Learning mehanics and such is something i enjoy, and i appreciate working for what i have.

It's just... well, i have three chars 50+ on blue. I couldn't decide on a class there (probably because i realized their end game is all the same; namely, repeat the same set of actions against a completely undynamic a.i. for, uh, platinumses?), and i know how long it'll take to do again. So i suppose what i'm looking/hoping for is some sort of reassurance that these upcoming changes won't leave me as lonely and afraid in game as i am in irl as i attempt to negotiate my way through it.

If nothing else, this thread has been an existential slam-dunk. Not sure why everyone hates on these subforums!

I think you'll fit right into red, bro. Personally I'd roll dwarf or halfling for cleric.

We've been fortunate so far not have freez, chewie, relapse, lulz, or a handful of other people post in this thread yet.


Low pop sucks, but ooc and a guild for chat can both help pass the time. Try to strike up conversations with everyone you see in the guilds you think you might be interested in joining sooner or later. The ones that are fun to chat with? Throw them on your friends list, learn their alts names, etc. Good way to pass the time, chatting it up with the people you find who aren't ridiculously annoying!

People tend to hate what they do not understand.

Low pop has some advantages honestly. Pretty much every 1-50 camp is open 24/7, if you can handle soloing it.
