^^This guy gets it. People min/max the shit out of everything on here, especially exp, so they all go to the same high exp bonus zones.

Treading on everyone they can to get there in the process

On red, you could have PVP'd that PLee and taken his pixels.

Try red.

High ZEM is used to make up for lots of things, most notably mob scarcity with long respawn timers. Full groups would probably gain more xp in outdoor zones like DL with constant pulls than, say, CoM stables with very limited spawns on a 20-something minute timer. Plus less downtime is more fun.

So then I logged on my bard the next day in Unrest...

There really is no hope. Perhaps blue needs a group XP bonus to get around all the powerleveling and reliance on Chardok AOE for levels?


..and yes, long story short. I considered full-time red.

Maskedmelon said it best really. It's about the attitude.

You don't want to have fun on blue p99, Swish. It's OK. Don't try.

Some people love it; they can look past the fact that some people are PL'ing, and find groups and kill shit with others. You can't. So don't play there.

PL'ing was plenty classic, btw. Happened on Xegony during the Kunark era. It's easy to PL.

You know if people take more than 4 mobs they call it a zone disturbance and you are free to take from their pulls.

Coulda just popped AE a tick or two and PL'd yourself there.

If you play Euro hours you were lucky to find assistance before they clear off. I think Llandewen (GM) is Euro though so maybe there's hope now for blue players in that situation.

You don't have to ask a GM to pull from their trains.

I don't get it. You red recruiters all talk about how you can get any camp you want at any time. You couldn't do that if there were more than 10 people playing on Red at any given time. So when you try to pull people to the server you're actively working against the only thing that Red has going for it--the lower population.

Right before I quit for red...


^^ That one I petitioned because it was pulls from across the zone and orcs were training other people.

Everyone goes nuts about FTE here. Try getting in amongst a powerleveler's mobs and see what happens.

Better off on red, at least you have a chance to claim it rather than having to look through an encyclopedia rulebook of camp, mob and zone specific guidelines on what can and can't be done kek

They'll petition. You'll keep on keepin' on. The GM will show up (or won't) and they'll be told what the rule is and you'll keep doing whatever you're doing. If you're lucky, Sirken will DT them for fun and for wasting his time.

but you're right. Better to try to PvP someone who has a thorns, regen, sln, and a 60 druid standing right behind them healing them.

Try red. Not only will you never run into anyone, but when you do they'll kill you.
