Red server really needs a blue guild

Let's be honest, tass.

There is just as many, if not more, derogatory comments on blue as there on red. It's just not as easy to see them because chat isn't global.

I use to think there were more 'toxic players' on blue than red, too. But since joining the staff, I've come to realize that isn't even remotely true - the percentage of players who are asshats is about the same.

On blue, it comes in different forms. Players taking up blackburrow at level 60 to farm fangs for an alt, or blocking raid content. Shit talk is extremely common on blue just like it is on red. There are plenty of examples of people telling other to 'kill themselves irl' or 'blah blah blah faggot' on blue, just like on red.

The forums are also similar - just look in blue RnF to see the sheer amount of hate that gets thrown around. Granted, until recently we treated red server chat just like red RnF, but we've been working to change that.

To summarize, the 'red is toxic' excuse is 100% bullshit - there's no more 'toxic' on red than there is on blue, you're just more exposed to it because of global chat. Being a GM, I get a pretty clear picture of exactly what goes on in terms of shitty behavior on both servers, and I can confidently say there is a much higher percentage of harassment based PnP violations on blue than there are on red.

TL;DR? blue has just as many assholes as red. they just dont have a public way to express it like they do with global ooc.

in other news, global ooc on red being patched and modified soon. recent change was bugged and isn't working as intended. once that is fixed, there will be far less exposure to shit talk. the time to roll on red99 is now (im told the group xp bonus is fantastic).

Will toxic behavior be a bannable offense? I pulled a mob earlier today and didn't see the gnome camping it behind the statue. Got called a faggot after he charmed it.

what exactly have I said that isn't 100% true in terms of eq pvp, p99 red, and the general attitude of the.players there?


this may just he a case where the truth hurts a lil


If I cared enough I woukd just log on red 99, turn /log on...and count how many derogatory terms are used in an hour.

Last time I played there (last week) it was like jerry springer meets world of warcraft, not my scene I guess.

I've logged back onto Red since the group bonus was implemented and it's been fun.

EVERY PvP game has a vulgar chat channel of some kind, try to not let it bother you so much... It's no worse than the "comments" section on most sites.

Some PvP games begin with "GLHF" and end with "GG".

Red players are 1000x more competitive, adapt to situations on the fly faster than blue player, have key binds (this kills me still people click in 2014) and are generally better players because this and their driven desire to win. You blame WoW? I thank WoW. That game has has made people such better players at general requiring faster twitch rrflexes , key binding, communication ect . It raised the bar kn what was expected even in the most general PUG situations. The only thing orig EQ required was a shit ton of time. Skill in pve was non existent.

Deru you've been working so hard to promote red. It must be pretty tough dealing with all us jerks. Thank you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Take a break from the bullshit when you need it. Would rather not see you get completely burned out and leave like many other supercool staff members before you.
