Red 99 Good Times Recollect

[Dulu]

Trakanon raid with <Thunderdome>...

<Apex> (I think?) beat us to the dragon, but we were right on their tail. We engaged their superior raid force (about their 40 vs our 25).

We wiped them, and we were able to pick up the Dragon, tank it and kill it. We had like 4-5 people left alive once the dust was settled, and I was one of them.

Felt really good.

Dacuck or something talking shit for weeks and finally meeting him in a kunark zone and making him run with his tail between his legs.

The andis (bless his heart) bald pic, i dont think i ever laughed this much in a mmo forum, had to look away from the screen, out of breath.

Farming in seb with the few non toxic pals i had on server. Toooooooorpoooor!

Duo'ing guk with sharlene(?) the enchanter at breakneck speed

Ironically, with og rallos pvp being what hooked me on mmos, most of my fun memories on red are pve ones, doing content i never did on live, like plane of air and fear, seb, castle mistmoore. The initial rush of finally having an eq red server back followed by the huge bummer that xp loss in pvp mechanic made it a completely different experience than rallos. Holocaust just having to park a cleric at guk entrance to cockblock and training anyone who tried to get in, coupled with the almost guaranteed outcome to eat xp loss if you did get past that, which made it impossible to motivate the peons outside to try to guerilla them out of there. Such a pity and missed opportunity.

I remember the first time seeing an uber twink on red. A deleveled PK ranger with mask of deception and epics and I realized... "Ah so there are uber twinks here."

[Jimjam]

Fighting for Estate of Unrest, spilling all over Dagnor's Cauldron. Running around high over the water with lev shooting arrows at Beastigor while chatting about Mordheim with him.

A hope that ogre PK from Mistmoore from like 2 years ago comes back. Had all the gear plus reaver.

There have been some great twinks running around over the years, with mixed success... some clearly had all the gear but no idea [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let's share some good stories from Red 99 including beta.

-mucking around with Casey, Ames, and Imabeast.
-spamming /who every 5 seconds like it was my religious duty back in 2012 when the server actually had PvP.
-the original Holo/Nihilum war.
-seeing PoF for the first time in EQ via Red99 and eating the DT on Cazic as a rite of passage.
-many extremely strange and probably drug-induced random tells over the course of four months of grinding (see attached).

Haven't touched the server since they put in the EXP bonus. Killed the server for me (glad it helped others though).

Shout outs to the old folks still kicking around.

Defending the swamp with Chewie and griefing with Ironlion. Favorite memory was rolling into unrest with lvl 60 shaman buffs on a paladin with a ghoulbane and some MR gear and destroying 15 Red Dawn peeps who were raiding the death beetles.
