I'm only salty about how every other week theres a "Blue is better, Red is evil" post and in reality we're all a bunch of losers and EQ is full of assholes. Its completely fucking asinine anymore.

Nobody who plays a 16 year old elf sim for 30+ hours a week is "normal," and really that's fine.

I will say that this myth of people on Blue actually being altruistic and "better than the Red community" has to stop, its ridiculous. The rule lawyering is completely out of control and everyone is constantly running Fraps.

Real classic, guys.

People run fraps on red.
Rule lawyering only effects the raiders everyone else doesn't really care.
Every week there is a red is better then blue and blue is better then red but who cares its on the forums.
As for blue being altruistic its pretty true. When I first started out on blue I talked to people and told them I was new and was helped out. Was given a couple plat to help buy early spells and some buffs.
I tried red and the first person I met was a twinked out level 3 that killed me. I have tried red multiple times but because of the low population if you don't hit a sweet spot when a bunch of people are starting new you pretty much get screwed. When you do hit that sweet spot of 3 to 4 people you have fun and usually end up hitting 40+ by the end but then the group dies out as people just stop playing.

I'm sorry, what? All I ever see is Red players say how amazing Red is and that people should switch from casual status. Wtf are you even talking about?

Go shoot some fireworks at your neighbor's house or something.

P99 is no different than any other MMO, except we play for free, where any other half way decent MMO has a sub. By your logic, anyone who plays video games 30+ hours a week isn't "normal." That's an opinion and normality cannot be defined by you for anyone else but yourself.

Now, stop your Red promoting and move on with your "unusual" life.

I take peaceful for boring tbh

I've met some really nice people on the blue server legitamately kind human beings

It must just be a pain to put up with it
/shrug, just as in the real world, u can bump into just about anyone @ anytime. good or bad... awesome or asshat.... they're all still just human beings wanting to play the same game (but in their own way).
I logged in a character today, gave away everything on it and deleted the character. Did I make that persons day? It seemed like it by their reaction. I then made a lvl 1 halfling warrior and some nice person from Omni buffed me up and I had fun. So a "one hand washes the other" kinda theory, I guess.

I've met nice people on both servers. Two days ago on red, someone playing a troll shaman noticed that my Druid was dressed in rags, and he gave me a pile of fine steel weapons and gems to sell, as well as a couple of low level pieces of magic gear. Then he buffed me to the hilt and waved goodbye. It was great because I was missing a lot of spells until that point. There is no monopoly of altruism or douchebaggery on either server.

I will freely admit that the forums paint a bad picture of red though.

No shit man... I feel sorry for these people. Work in a box, stare at a box all day only to drive him in a box to yet another box to stare at a box.


Living the dream.
