Try Red (You will regret it)

[karsten]

I like red for two main reasons:

1. you don't have to compete with 300 people in your guild for raid loot
2. you can literally fight someone for the precious treasures that you crave

also, most of the people on the red forums don't actually play on red server, for what that's worth

WoW pvp is objectively better than EQ pvp, don't @ me

If any current red99 player can give an answer to this simple question it would be great:

If red99 is so great and fun of a server, why is it that there are only 80-100 players on the server?

Because all the newbs and sociopaths play on blue.

You actually have to be pretty good to play on Red, not some manipulative whatever trying to ride the coat tails of others

For me it really boiled down to several misconceptions about the server in general, in part thanks to the many server trolls that exist on these forums. My main misconceptions were:

1.) I knew there was an exp bonus, but I didn't realize that a full group would level ~3.9 times faster on Red than on Blue
2.) I thought that a PvP death would result in the loss of your pp and one item, and I hated the idea of losing a high-end item to an unfair PvP death. You still lose all your pp, but no items are lost.
3.) I thought that there was no level limitations, and that a level 60 could kill newbs all day. In reality, PvP is only enabled for people within ±4 levels of you. Also, PvP is not enabled for level 1's.
4.) I didn't realize that you could call Loot-and-Scoot to prevent from being corpse-camped all day.
5.) I thought the raiders on Red would be more hardcore than on Blue. In reality, Kittens is a Hardcore Raid Guild compared to Apex or The Heretic.

If it wasn't for the Sunday that the Blue login server was down, I would have never tried Red.

If project 1999 is so good why does wow have millions of players and costs money but p99 is free and only has like two thousand at a time ?

Don't answer that seriously

I tried Red and regret it.

I've tried going back to Blue but I just can't stand it anymore.

Just kidding anyway. Im sure most of it boils down to personal preference and many people play on both.

I can’t really think of a comparison of a stagnant game that is played by the same people for 10 years straight killing the same mobs for the same loot. That is probably why the pop for red is sub 100.
