Why is this guy (Swish) allowed to post outside of rants and flames, he's incapable of starting any other kind of thread.

Not true! He started the puzzle thread:

I think that might've been a fluke, especially considering his first puzzle was 'try red server'.

Blue = People actively try to help your game experience. When I was a newbie people gave me advice, free items, and help killing things.

Red = People actively try to ruin your game experience. Get grief killed while trying to complete a quest, told to uninstall and kill yourself IRL.

rofl. I think the caveat here is when you first start out Blue is these things.

Then you get to 50+ start dabbling with raids and find that actually how you describe red above is how p99 blue raiders typically operate.

I also didn't like the xp bonus. I understand it was implemented to help people get into top end pvp easier.

I always enjoyed scrubbing it out in crushbone, etc. Only problem there being fungi/epic twinks. Obviously epics twinks are no longer a problem, but fungi can be. Fortunately many of the fungusmen have stopped playing.

Personally, I think red EQ would be stronger without expansions, just vanilla content, maybe even no planes and no legacy items such as manastone.


@branamil it is not as simple as that. I completely agree that red should be the competitive server and blue should be the collaborative server. However, some people think being an elf stockmarket trader or monopoly megacorp is fun. Perhaps there is actually more 'player blocked' content blue than there is on red?

All said though, I do play blue a heck of a lot more than I do red. Red is a fun place to do RP and themed characters though. I feel more of a survival/horror theme on red, which to me is more classic than the feel of blue.

Ill come play red if someone gives me a plat package, accepting fungis.

no thanks!

A pvp racial teams server locked in vanilla would be fun.

Humans vs elves vs short dudes vs evils

Human team could field all classes
Evil races would miss out on bard paladins and monks
Shorts would miss out on bard, shaman and monks
Elves would miss out on sk, shaman, monk, and necro

Locked in classic only, no fungi or epic twinks. Would be a bunch of newbs running around in rags having a grand old time. It'd be fun ... really fun. The racial team dynamic made tallon zek very fun.

Red99 even near its peak was bad due to the community. For all it's problems, the community is what makes blue worth playing. Raid scene isn't pretty but the population is healthy even at off hours.

Lift the permaban on the duke and sure.

Please lets not mass recruit to red, this server is just fine with a population around 100-200
