I'd like to really stress the thing about griefing. i know that is the #1 thing that keeps a lot of people from red99 - they are afraid they are going to get non stop pk'd the entire time they play, and won't be able to enjoy the game. This isn't true at all. Unless you are asking for it, the chances of you getting griefed are slim to none. This may have been different in the past, but those players have either left the game or grown up, because there are very very few of them left. And they mostly hang out in unrest (so avoid that zone! There are plenty of awesome places to level around 20, and no one ever gets to see them because everyone just goes to unrest!). So if griefing spergloids have kept you away in the past, nows the time to come try red99.

One last thing. Global ooc can be very obnoxious at times. So can the forums. Just ignore them if it bothers you. GM's have already said if we get enough pop global ooc is going away, and even if we don't its probably going to become restricted. So don't let that stop you from getting the definitive eq experience (and trust me, red99 is that).

Hope I see you on red! Feel free to message gotgnomes or gotknight, or post in this thread for help!

Here's the thing..... I never stepped foot on red99 and I know its not griefer heaven. However; that's only because there's very few people playing....

If got got their wish and 1000 people were playing tomorrow.... the hardcore reds would grief.

Hell there is a whole guild dedicated to just Pking in Unrest

The fact there is a guild dedicated to PKing (in ANY zone) will make people not want to play red.

So much bullshit my eyes turned brown

Here's the thing ... I never stepped foot on Florida (or New York, or California, or where ever) ... but I know it would suck.

So much illogical thought in the quoted post I actually laughed out loud!

I've never been griefed. Some guys do get all butthurt if they get attacked ... on a pvp server ... imagine that, lol! But that isn't griefing.

If you come on talking smack you probably will get griefed eventually, just like in real life you talk shit someone's going to eventually punch you in the mouth. Griefing doesn't seem to happen that much if you actually play on Red and don't just forumquest the boards there.

Unless you make a history with someone ...

Or come on talking smack.

And don't believe "stories". I attacked a guy once, then befriended him with another character later - the 'story' he told about that attack was completely false lol!

So don't believe this guys story when he hasn't even stepped foot on Red .... still laughing about that.

tl;dr - Never been griefed. Griefing rarely happens unless you're an asshat.

I am actually intrigued, gotrocks. You make it sound fun so I might just check it out later.

As long as new players have no one to play with, the server will continue its death spiral.

Bad and stupid analogy. Those places actually have lots of people.

Seriously, if Red were worth it, the people would already be there.

The imagined spiral has been going for years... but its not dead, and won't die. If anything the server has come back from the death, no longer is there 13 people offpeak [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Replace Florida with Pakistan or Papa New Guinea. Perhaps two alien and hostile lands to westerners. And consider being dropped there with nothing but a pair of ragged shorts and a stick.

However. Both countries have their pros and merits. And are not entirely bad. And once you learn the language and local customs you might get to see some pretty amazing sites and meet some really interesting people. Enjoy some wonderful food and music. That is if you don't starve to death or get killed by the locals out of spite.

Red definitely has its worth it moments. Or the population would have been 0 by now. Rather than steadily increasing and more or less stable actually. I took a long break, many do, and the server gets a lot of players back who quit even.

Granted even I muted /ooc last night and I'm a long time forumquester, and occasional troll.
