The only skillful and balanced pvp mmo to have ever been released was darkfall 1.0, not unholy wars. Any mmo with rng or that is heavily gear based will never be skillful. Many of them also have overpowered classes, especially with certain gear. Ultima online, eq, daoc, wow, etc are all either rife with rng and/or very gear based, or have overpowered classes. Asheron's call may have been a close second in skill to darkfall, though I missed out on it so I cannot say.

You can think that eq pvp is fun, which is fine, but it doesn't change the fact that it is not skillful or balanced. Red server is only bad because of many of the people who congregate there. For some reason eq pvp seems to attract that type, probably because it is easy to grief pvp in eq.

On red many monks/sks or even necros will "accidentally" aggro a bunch of mobs, and then feign near someone or a group that they are fighting. It is impossible to really prove what went down there unless you run fraps. For any of you wanting to play on that server, you will get to run fraps 24/7 as a bonus for dealing with red players. Some advice for you lucky souls.

Blue is overcamped, inflated and even the little level 1s are close to spawning with a full set of Velious armor.

Red on the other hand is a new frontier, it's the equivalent of the American dream...anyone has the chance to start a new life and succeed while having fun and making new friends.

For anyone who's already tried it, perhaps its time to give it another go. Most of you though have still yet to experience the fun and you're missing out.

There's no start lines, far fewer rules (but there is a play nice policy that applies to prevent corpse camping), and there's various guilds recruiting right now.

Put down the EC tunnel and give it a try <3

OP still doesn't understand that everyone who wanted to try red already has and saw first hand how much it sucked.

Ok guys, there has been some changes to red server as of late. If you have tried it in the past, and didn't like it due to ooc spam, training, and overall player griefing, I suggest you try it again. The staff has really cracked down on red, and it is a better server overall. For those that don't know you can play blue and try red at the same time! For those that want to make comments like "Red is dead" and "Wipe it clean 2017" and things of that nature. I would like to point out that red was hovering around 75 or so people a few months ago, but has recently had a surge of population. We are nearly breaking 200 people during prime time on some nights.

All I ask is before you trash it based on past experience, try red today and see if its still the same.

With that said, I FULLY support this thread title! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Global ooc was really bad....However, EXP MOD is what turned me off to red forever. If there is a huge permanent exp bonus it's not a real classic server. EXP Mod ruined that server forever.

How is this a rant and flame topic? I started on Red two weeks ago and have to say I haven't seen as much of the negative that everyone has been claiming... given my little druid is still under lvl 20 but I have been enjoying myself. I have ran across lots of people that don't just start firming on me immediately. They stop and talk to me and have even partnered up with a few

Why is this guy (Swish) allowed to post outside of rants and flames, he's incapable of starting any other kind of thread.
