Can I switch toon from blue to red server?

[Lagaidh]

I never considered the idea of a copy. That might make me dabble on red with my paladin, even if stripped.

[JurisDictum]

The top PvP scene would never accept a no bullshit one-way transfer. The last thing your average EQ PvP raider wants is a challenge. "OMG a TMO guy with gear might gank me for once".
I do believe the red server earnestly want more players. But only if they are there to feed their monk twinks or oogle their main's raid gear. Not actually contest a zone.

[Faerie]

Copies are an interesting idea, but I fear that we would just become a playground for bored bluebies instead of the mostly serious EQ experience I feel we deserve to be. More people would be a good thing, but not if you're just on red to grief and mess around solo.

And getting back to the original point of this thread -- just get on red and level now! There's an exp bonus, people truly are pretty nice on red, and nothing is stopping anyone from enjoying the server.

Hell I was grouped with a dude the other day who was given Eboots and a bunch of shit for free just for starting up.

copies or transfers is pretty dumb. not classic.

I play on red, and I agree with this statement.

There's some strong zek server players scattered on blue actually. You might be surprised.

This. It seems like most of the former x Zek players went blue for some reason :S

I talk to quite a few people from TZ in my day that were boss status who are dormant on Blue because Red is so terrible. It's honestly the people, and whatever shift a wave of transfers created would at least be a shift. What's XP on red boosted to, 1.25x xp? and Faerie is telling people they'll hit 60 on Red before 24 on blue lol.. the "literal" grammar Nazi must find struggling with extremely basic math to be an uphill battle.

The real problem you might see is that people would use the transfer as some misguided attempt to go raid somewhere else, unaware of how Red's raid scene is even worse off than Blue. Which; would then ensue on a wave of people wanting to transfer back, sounds nightmare-ish for the GMs.

OR

People would just copy characters over to the less populated server, with a plat exchange rate of.. what is it 6:1 now? to farm miniscule items on red solely with intentions to sell it back for gain on Blue. This would fuck the average joe the hardest, no camps would ever be open when you were leveling to gear at because of said point, and no PvP would occur because the Red server would just become a place for pixel hoarding.

Oh, wait..

Come on, now. Math was my best subject before I gave it up after high school.

When you factor in the (recently upped) xp bonus on red, it might take less time to get 60 on red with a new character than it would on your 23 blue character.

It's easy to see how you misinterpreted my statement; but this figurative grammar Nazi would like you to diagram her sentence if there is still confusion.
