Is Red the way to go?

[Kable]

Yes. Yes. YES.

Red EQ is lots of fun. Give it a real try.

aits really a nonsense to solo, so if u cant find a group just roll an alt id tell. On the other hand if u use /ooc is really easy to get a good gro going, plenty of people playing alts on non raiding times etc, with the bonus exp in a full grp rolling as it should the exp is as fast and if u were getting a powerlvl i tell u, been there done that. is so damn fast its a nonsense to not stay on /ooc forming a grp even for half an hour, it pays off.

on another note, is the same with any class, is hard to find grps if u dont get vocal on /ooc and start gathering people and sending tells. any class can do that so any class can get into a good group and amass exp at a very fast rate, any other way of lvling makes non sense really. Plus dont bother with the plat rate or anythng, ull lvl so fast soon ull be gettin little gear and then u can be on planar raids and gear up easy

[DRAGONBAIT]

everyone has lots of alts so u can find almost any lvl range of any class willing to join a good group, classes are not a problem also

Obviously it takes more convincing than a simple "stay away" comment to make up my decision.

How about "read the forums for a couple of days, thats what you can expect the pop to look like at end game"

Red is a PvP server. If you're PVE specialist then join empire.

Don't solo, ever. Especially on a cleric.

Roll a toon, join thunderdome, level up and make some friends. Learn to love pvp and join a smaller guild or join Empire if you don't.

Every other guild is heavily involved in pvp at all times.

Gardur empire is involved in more yt every day than all other guilds combined. We are always looking for a fight, you guys hide from us, dont try and spin that a different way.

I played on tarrew marr back in the day

If you want no stress everquest with the EC tunnel like classic but no ability to raid end game content without dedicating all of your time to everquest play blue.

If you want a lot less population but the ability to gear out your character and have the option to raid kunark with a small crew of pals or raid velious with 100 zerglings and get uncontested loot with occasional pvp at your bind while naked play red

I've tried both frankly I prefer red.

Oh i got this one.

Welcome to red, I have just left through the exit door here. I rolled a cleric with a new to red guild called TMO. My team was always in need of clerics and I leveled up quickly, YES there will be attacks by decked out twinks, my groups were often attacked by epiced, bis for kunark, while my guildmates/groupmates were wearing cloth. There will be nights where you have to walk away from the box because absolutely every zone you go to there will be empire alts there hunting you down to harass you. (one night we did this routine, till finally campign for the night. seb,chardok,hole,permafrost,hole.) I started with nothing, got a few handme downs from guildmates. I was able to purchase most of my spells as i leveled, filling out my book after i was able to group in SEB. I had every slot filled with something other than cloth at level 60, but i was missing over 1300 mana from my where my cleric on blue was sitting. (lack of gear), and my resists were lower than blue as well.

Well, then Empire decided that TMO was more than a cute puppy on the server and activity harassed, zone-line camped, violated PNP continuously. This is a one guild server, there is calls for "we want pvp" we want more players, but they grief off any attempt to to compete before competitors get feet under them. yes, you can petition and 3-4 weeks later the petitions get answered, I love Sirken I am not saying anything bad about him you cannot expect one volunteer GM to be able to handle all the petitions for shitty behavior, but the only way to change the shitty behavior is to petition it and get the violator suspended, but it loses its meaning to the violator if its 4 weeks down the road, and like me, it does nothing for the petitioner because i am gone. I initially left blue to play here cause i was tired of petitionquest, i chose to not play it on red. pvp to take a camp, pvp before dragon encounter sure, but what goes on here TO ME is mostly griefing.

My advise is to not roll on red. Unless you are already an empire minion. Then good luck watching all the good spoils go to the "inner core" that talk on special elf chat or something cause they can't talk in /gu , or in their ts.

Unless Rogean changes something the red server will continue to be a place where the server population is low. Sometimes I felt like Mad max going up against all the crazys, sometimes It felt like we might conquer, other times, it just felt like the insane asylum with clear cut rules, being totally thrown out, cause you are playing against someone on opiates

Basically I'm saying if he doesnt want pvp there's only one choice. Only in Empire can you successfully avoid it.

Also i have never hid from Empire fights.

Ask around.
