I found popular camps in guk like bedroom pretty fun back in the day. But one guy would easily wreck a grp of blue bluebies Exping.
Definitely learn to fight back so if you're grouping you can contribute. Also you'll probably want someone who can tash or malo if you want spells to land on twinks. Most people already have geared twinks logged out in the most popular spots. That said it only took me a few hrs to get jboots on a character and I got like 2 free boots. Plus some other offers. Lots of adventures to be had, but if you're a social butterfly it'll be weird sorta interacting with all of the cliques. You'll have to pick sides at some point and you will always be KOS to some. There's no real coalition of "good guys". Sometimes you'll have to just log out or switch zones, or log into an alt, if a crew rolls in to like, control and pl in unrest. You could also just wind up PL'd super quickly. | ||

Basically, I think it all really boils down to how confrontational you are when it comes to EQ.
If you thrive in conflictual situations, Red may be for you. If you'd rather seek to get along with people, Blue/Green is probably best (they have their own demons but we're not talking about that). If you don't want confrontation, you still can find Red attractive if you want to play soloquest in places that are crowded on PvE servers. PvP is easy to avoid if you don't want it once you acquire a little experience. Another reason to play on Red while disliking PvP is to join the dominant guild and raid high end content with little to no competition. One important thing to know is that if you plan on playing Red for the PvP, you'd better be ready to put in hours and play it like it's your only job. You will have a lot of catching up to do as the server is old, immense amounts of twinks are equiped with godlike gear and being dropped in there with no PvP experience or gear will mean that you will get dirtnapped by just about anybody. EQ PvP itself is an interesting beast, that isn't trying to pretend to be anywhere close to any kind of balance. It is what it is and it can be incredibly fun or incredibly frustrating, depending on your approach and objectives. | ||

If you thrive in confrontation maybe you get that on red the other servers have players but you decide where to pour your life hour points on.
