I have no interest in killing other players or being killed by them.

The players, the vocal ones at least, act like absolute assholes, and I have no tolerance or patience for that. (And their posts tend to read like a 10-year old mentally retarded foreigner wrote them.)

This is really my problem with Red99, too.

It's a literacy thing. Add it to the poll, please.

I voted, "I dont' like the people or... etc.".

You didn't have the one option that makes the most sense to me and for a lot of other people. Maybe it just is unthinkable to you, but the truth is:

I just plain don't like PVP, of any shape or form, in any computer game.

Full truth be told, I hate it more in EQ than anywhere else. Why? Because Everquest is just about the best damn computer game ever created. To play PVP in it would ruin it.... it is no longer Everquest, more like EverQuake.

So I suppose, like some others, I really needed to vote a combination of option 2 and 3.

And btw, you may as well not even try - there is absolutely nothing you can change about red to change my mind about red - unless you make it a second blue server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Other: I have enjoyed EQ PvP in the past (although my brother and I didn't stick with it for very long). But if I want to play with my wife, it must be on a blue server. She gets stressed out too easily by griefing. She had to remove herself just the other day when some jagoff stole our camp and trained us - so red ain't happening.

PvP only breeds trolls and griefers. If it were forced teams or something other than Rallos rules then maybe, but this FFA "join us or be camped" mindset is terrible. I could just imagine trying to raid there, let alone leveling. Everyone on blue PL's, so how much harder is it to turn that PL into a corpse camp? No thank you.

I like PvP. But not EQ PvP.

The low population is a problem but it can also be nice having all the spawns you want. This can be fixed by joining the server with a couple friends. There have actually been several newbie guilds starting up lately as well.

The game is much more competitive which does bring out the crazies. That is unfortunate but it comes with the territory. The server is also much harsher due to PvP exp penalty on death, but it has been made clear that this this is changing, hopefully soon. I think the penalties from death piss people off a lot and brings on some hate.

There is also an exp bonus on the server that tries to help with the low amount of groups. It is currently scaled from 1-50 plus an all around 25% bonus from 1-60... there is some hope that this might go back up to 75% bonus.

Everything means more on red, death and accomplishments. Everything is yours for the taking.

One of the things that makes Everquest great for me is that you have the freedom to do whatever you want. I don't get that freedom on blue and restrictions take the power away from the player. On Red you get to choose who you associate with, who are your enemies, and what your reputation will be. I'm sure reputation means something on blue but not to the same degree.

Voted last option : Would play if it were a Team PVP server rather than all-pvp server (i.e. Tallon/Vallon Zek as opposed to Rallos Zek).
