Why did you quit red?

[Lune]

Had the foresight not to play red because:

1. The community

2. The nature of PvP in EQ

Yes the community really is that bad. If you don't think so, you're in a profound state of denial. If you retort: "B-b-b-b-but the community on blue is even worse"... again, you're not listening, you're just angry and closed-minded.

It's like asking "Why don't geriatrics go to Megadeth concerts?" or "Why don't ghetto ass *****z go to golf clubs?"

most of the time new players come to red and play usual zones, end up in unrest, get killed then send tells raging which only makes the troll more hungry and tend to constantly pk your crybaby ass.

come play red but go to shitty zones with low zem and hide from all the asshat twinked trolls that are looking to grief naked noobs. It is not that asshat twink trolls fault you are having a bad time.. its your fault for wanting to exp in an area you prefer with high ZEM. If you don't like when people harass and grief you with fungi/Epic'd/VP'd geared de-leveled toons then your a crybaby ass.

double post cuz im immersed...

also, we have 'rules" that prevent griefing!! yayy!!!... so when someone backstabs you while you are low hp/mana killing npc's for levels.. you have the option to leave the zone and go somewhere else to exp.. due to the low population its unlikely you will get a port where you are going. but you can spend the next 30min-1hr traveling to the next zone for some exp.

^ people generally want to group more than they want to kill you, unless they are just around for low level pvp. It's always more beneficial to group than it is to kill because even with just a duo you get 130% xp instead of 50%

this is very true..

but the de-leveled twinks are not looking for exp. They already have multiple high lvl toons and are just trying to pass time untill the next weekend full of high end pixels.

having said that... i will say i met some very nice people on red and not everyone is an asshat.

I quit because I did not receive enough free gear.

I quit because exp solo was too slow, and group exp was too big. I don't want to group if I only have 10-15 min to play which is typical.

I quit because I zone slow and fuckers be waitin' for you on the other side!

[Malone88]

Haven't quit yet.

Two Toons 36+ and only 3 PVP deaths and 2 of those to known PKer
who is now a good friend.

After 6 months on Red, I have a friends list 3X longer than 2 years
on Blue. Go figure. The group XP bonus brings good peeps
together.

I read OOC while I solo'd a naked SK to level 10, that was almost enough to make me stop itself. The first time I got a group invite (random tell sent to me asking if I wanted to group), I spent 20 minutes running so that the fully geared person could root and nuke me at the zone line as soon as I zoned in. The second time I got a group invite the same thing happened.

Didn't bother waiting for a third.
