RED 99! Backed by popular demand... NOT!

[derpcake]

The whole "grief" thing is highly exaggerated. No-one gets camped off the server, if you die you close your client, log in a bit later, or on an alt, and just CR.

New players aren't worth camping to anyone, unless they get angry in which case people will continue to farm them.

Its basically forum behavior, some kid makes a rant post and everyone shits on him.. this really is the same situation except its in-game. More the kid rants, more posters will shit on him.

Don't get mad ingame and you won't get much attention.

This also explains why OP is so mad at red, its usually the people that start out angry that get "griefed" hardest. (they invite people to shit on them and perceive it in such a way that its soul-crushing)

guess its not for everyone

I have seen an increase in sh!tposts from Red players recently. I would just like to start a conversation about why red is a dumpster fire.

From my experience and from my investigation into R99 - Here is what I know. Please feel free to add any details on why Red is a pit of dog sh!t. lets keep this thread on topic, no Red sh!tlord apologists. Only interested in hearing the bad, not the good. There are plenty of posts on why Red is "good".

Player griefing is the only reason 95% of the server logs in anymore

The entire forum campaign of "Consider Red" is nothing more than a campaign to get people to login Red so that the current players can tell them they are terrible and grief them away.

Out of range monks training you with mobs while you are “PVPing”

Out of range players continually opening trade with you to distract you while “PVPing”

<Empire> players using buff bots to effectively give them advantage over others at all times

Players will relentlessly hunt you down if they catch wind of you camping camp *ANYTHING* at level 56+… Most times will not even take your camp, just grief you away from it.

“PVP” generally consists of highly geared players running away from you and throwing sh!t at you waiting for their “joust” cooldown on an extremely high damage high delay weapon

Leveling is terrible – Deleveled characters in top end gear in zones like Crushbone, MM, KC, and CoM are an everyday thing.

Red forumquesters are among the worst on the boards

way, way too long. All you needed to post was, "There is effectively only one guild on the server."

Anyone who knows eq would know, that's a dead server that is fun only to pathological joiners.

i'm a casual in a small guild and having a great time

last week i got kael chain legs, which is pretty nice since it was the first time i grouped in velious [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] monday we did some seb groupage in one of those camps blue has permacamped, great time (being vague cuz pvp!)

i could not do these things on blue as they take far more time / are excessively contested, but some more players would be nice

if a player wanted to FTE lodizal on blue, how long would he need on average? i sure don't have that time, and i don't feel bad about it either

whats your stake in dissing red? you seem to have a strong dislike of the server, why is that?

i was posting while you did, and i'm not in "the one" guild, yet make gains and have fun

so why are you so mad at red, that you have to use descriptions like "pathological joiners"

what does that even mean? sorry i'm euro, english not great

it's a nonsense term he invented out of love for the smell of his own butt

Is Spyder that same guy who spends his days posting on Reddit and mad as fuck a GM took away his surname? Might be confusing him with another guy.
