Level 60 TMO Bard being bind camped by level 1 red players in West Freeport

eq pvp is awful

[Splorf22]

here is my experience on red:

1. There are very few players. Usually there will be ~1 group 20-30.

2. Because of this there is no pvp at the lower levels; everyone is very nice to each other because really there is no reason to compete when there are 10x as many mobs as anyone could need.

3. If you do PVP, it will be against a Flowers twink with an OOR healing druid

4. Global OOC is a constant stream of retarded trash talking; basically RNF only constant and worse because it involves pvp deaths

5. High-level players are generally pretty willing to help out because they want more players.

No clue howthings change from 25->50+

I hooked you up the best I could, how is it treating you so far? The payoff on red is 46+

One of the things missing on Red is an economy - you can forget about trying to obtain higher-end items via bartering unless you are in the top guild, Nihilum...this is how it was 2 months ago when i quit Red. I am not sure if it has changed since I left, but this is how it was.

Nihilum, in general, would horde all the high-end loot and place it on the market for ridiculous amounts, and then when YOU try to sell items, such as a NoS, all they do is complain about how much x is (see Heartbrand's comment on page 2 about the locket of escape).

Heartbrand, and many of Nihilum are totally clueless on the value of items and think they can control/bully the entire market. For example, Him and several other Nihilum members told me I would never sell NoS's for what I was asking. Guess what, they were all sold a long time ago for the amount I wanted, an amount that I thought was fair. So, in a nutshell, if you don't mind playing on a server where the economy will be your enemy, then give Red a try.

skorge was laughed off of red for being dum. don't be dum and red will be fine.

My experience on red was pretty bad and goes something like this,

1. Make a Druid ,get to level 35 have xp shut off, which was one of the main reasons I came there to nearly solo as close to 60 as I could.

2. Get to level 37 with only charm and port spells from level 34 , try to make money off ports and in two days find one person who needs a port.

3. This person was Tune , he gave me 9pp.

4. Continue xping in OT and have Tune ask you to help him find Eldrig(SP) the old spawn point in Skyfire to reap rewards, 30mins later he has to leave.... no rewards.

5. Quit red until XP comes back cause everything was horrible execpt the XP.

[Lemons]

yea tune is p gewby

[SamwiseRed]

lol if you cant make in on red as a druid you probably cant make it anywhere (including RL)

[Jarlon]

lol

9pp for a port is fine I don,t mind sometimes people don't have a lot on a pvp server due to getting coined , It is the 30 minutes with promise of reward and 0 reward that upset me and broke the back of the crappy XP I was diligently trying to get.
