Don't talk about PVP

[Billbike]

Without the threat of death (pvp), there's no reason to live (play eq) at all.

They're just in a panic their server population is fading into nothingness. They want to stir up any drama, any posts, anything at all that can get people thinking about red as opposed to blue. It used to be 2:1 blue to red population when red launched. Then it went down to 3:1 in a hurry.
Nowadays Im not surprised to see 5:1 population most nights.

EQ was not designed as a PvP game. Most of the PvP is fucked and pretty unbalanced. Thats the reason why there were only a couple of PvP servers when there were 30+ other servers running on live. The EQ community, even back then, acknowledged EQ is not a good PvP game by simple supply/demand of PvP servers.

The problem with these red fanatics is they played EQ during their teens (mostly) and have nostalgic memories of playing EQ PvP. Its amazing what nostalgia will sometimes do to people.

In a couple months there will be 50 or 60 people average (if that) and that is about where I suspect the sever population will stabilize around. If you look at other emu servers a population of 50 or 60 is sustainable.. just not much fun for the participants.

If I wanted PvP I'd be playing a PvP game.

@RiotPendragon ya'll should for april fools joke release a new bluebie pve LoL mode lol

Server pop ONLY declining because of exp rate and lack of global OOC.

Time to 50 on the red server is longer than on blue. Fix this.

No global chat is just dumb. It's just evolution, let it happen.

"oh but it's not classic"

Then fuck classic.

Other than that, thanks for the server.

[Daldaen]

Remove anon/role thn add global chat. Fair trade off of two non-classic features.

if you play on blue you little pussies

People still play on Red? It's basically a deserted server. There's probably more pvp going on on P99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Basically red is a harder version of blue with slower exp.

Not many are cut out for that.

To easily determine which server is better. Look and see which one has the most people trying to swipe players from the other side.

Blue? hopes reds stay where the fuck they are.
Reds? Wonders why no one likes them.

I wouldn't say blue is any better at this point. It's actually really sad what's going on with all of the training in VP. It's just as childish as the shit that's going on over on red. It seriously boggles my mind that people find that fun, and also go to the forums to brag about training mobs to kill each other. You guys are doing big things there.
