Why is Red Dead?

[Penish]

Transfer off 60's with only NO DROP items, hit the delete button and lock it in classic. We'd have 500 people in it tomorrow.

Everquest and pvp just suck when mixed.

Honestly it is was/is the people.

They want to shit all over their own backyard to flex to the other 150 players resulting in people leaving.
Even when the population was 100-120 at peak people were still trying to destroy the opposing guilds till they quit.

Red99 was/is more than a game to them, it was a justification for their wasted life decisions.

As much as people talked shit about aimchat and bad apples they had with them, Colgate and Gongshow always had a decent attitude to not try to kill the server off by letting other guilds get targets in the velious era. Most of the other big guilds I was apart did not have this attitude. They wanted to starve and destory their opposition to the point they quit the server.

That is why most people consider the Empire era as one of the best, and why the server died overnight when Empire quit.

are you being serious? gongshows number 1 missions was to grief everyone else into quitting or joining them so they have ZERO people contesting velious pve content

dude was more blue then nizzar

( I quit before velious rolled because velious is garbage )

I think all expansions are fun to a point but as your progressing with the mean of the server population. Once it’s been locked down for 4 years like HB said it’s pretty hard to get solid footing. You have guys like ignight grouping with tune’s 4 boxes thinking he is chatting with diff people. Then these same clowns are used as zombies to farm loot off raid mobs while getting scraps. Of course when items are nostalgic you’ll go for that sort of thing.

So you're commenting about a period you admit to not playing during, lol.

Empire never, or almost never, raided things like Trak / Talendor / VS / VP etc., as a guild during Velious. We left Yelinak up half the time, let mobs sit up for days under the rotating raid day schedule, and let other Velious mobs remain up. We didn't care if other people tried to kill those mobs. The Tune and deranged Nilly people treat this game like real life and still raid kunark in 2018 and would batphone another guild trying to do Talendor in 2022.

[Zuranthium]

clevergirl was easily the most thoughtful poster in this thread, funny how some people put them on ignore for speaking 100% truth. Anyone who said Velious era is bad for PvP is also on the right track.

Don't try to spin Empire as being good for the server. Leaving up that other content was irrelevant because Empire already had what they needed there and locked down the drops that mattered, the gear that outclassed everything else, thus allowing the guild to easily push out any possible competition and make PvP mostly irrelevant on the server. Empire didn't do shit in the game when it wasn't primetime raiding hours, all they cared about was getting Velious PvE drops with safety of numbers.

The server would have been better if Empire actually did contest that other content and create real competition, by using only the minimum amount of people necessary for any given raid. It was always possible for the guild to raid multiple targets simultaneously with the amount of people we had, but instead the shitty leadership of the guild dumbed down the game and forced everyone to stand around like sheep, wasting time and removing the competition.

Exactly accurate. More specifically - he cared about pretending to be everyone's friend so that he could get all the best gear first as "the leader", in order to feel better about his life. But of course the truth is that this isn't an accomplishment at all. It's empty, it doesn't require skill and nobody in the world fucking cares about the loot you got on this server. He internally knew this, as did other sheep in the herd, so it's no surprise they soon quit the game after it no longer served as a way to feed their sad, straight, white, republican, male egos.
