Seriously considering the switch

[Cap3r3]

I leveled my mostly naked shaman to 50 fairly easily. I grouped in unrest, mm, and com without being pk'd but I did plug a handful of times since my gear was terrible. After my low 40s I soloed for the most part to 49/50.

Just play blue. Red is less grindy bullshit, and you can do 1-40 in a few days if you are vocal or just a more adept player. It is a ton of fun and can have some pretty intense moments if you look for them.

But if you are looking for community, this really really isn't the place. There are a handful of people on the server maybe who are legit friends, but this place is really about looking out for yourself.

I'm all for pop +1, but from the tone of your post, I don't think you would last 12h played. If you were a badass on VZTZ I'd say try it, since you would probably make it to 24h played while going 2k 55d and then quitting.

Hello everyone! I have seen the various advertising for Red on the Blue forums and I believe I am ready to bite. I have only been playing on P99 for a couple of weeks. I do have a few questions if anyone would be able to answer them.

Does the server have an active EXP bonus? I looked it up but was confused by the answers.

I hear people talk about a close knit community. But also alot of griefers. For the most part are people pretty jovial. Example: Person A gets Ganked by Person B. Do they have a laugh about it in OOC or does it become a flame war?

How newbie friendly is the server? I'm not talking about handouts. I mean if a new player is leveling in a low level zone is it swarmed with griefers trying to keep them from leveling?

Needed classes?

Again I am sorry for the influx of questions. Just I am very passionate about my characters when I play and I enjoy a tight knit community. Thank you for any insight you can offer.

Disagree. Have made better friends on red -- very decent folks who aren't twinked out like everyone is on blue.
Have been grouping with them nightly and the xp bonus is so worth it. I've even made friends with some pk'ers.
Most are cool peeps if you don't get too rustled after a pvp loss. Certain classes can avoid PvP pretty well. Gating classes, bards, etc.
Wizard/Druid would be a good starting class because of ports and druid gets SoW. I find healers and chanters are low numbers
because I guess they are harder to PvP with.

Having a thick skin and selective hearing are a plus on red. OOC and Forum chat can be toxic, just tune it out.

Can't wait!

Don't play on server. It's toxic as fuck.
