Why did you quit red?

[-TK-]

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!

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.

#1 EQ PVP is horrible ( my opinion)
#2 almost no populations I didn't want to play solo
#3 Having twinks (that you wouldn't stand a chance at in a fair fight) waiting for you to be in a fight (solo because low pop) then attacks you or waits for you to almost be dead and finishes you off.

More pop would fix most of these issues and i would probably play at least casually if there was a playerbase to play with

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.

consensus im gathering is a lot of the players quit due to being solo... i know if we hadnt rolled with 4-5 others in a core group with the same average play-times i woulda flopped back to blue in a heart-beat

Red is fun, but not by yourself. That goes for ALL pvp based games, should come as no surprise here...

Some issues though that COULD be dealt with by the staff that i think would help:
-OOC RnF, make a new chat channel ppl can join and RNF/shit it up all they want and leave the regular ooc for everyone else
-turn off global YT, make it continental or zone-only, this alone could eliminate a lot of drama from ego-trolls

TL/DR: dont roll pvp by yourself, try it with friends- you'll have more fun and less rage this way

The constant high school insults and d00d speak in ooc got on my nerves, turning off ooc made the server feel like a ghost town, which was even worse. And getting killed by some fungi twink who feels the need to /tell you what a retard/pussy you are when you are wearing patchwork, kind of turned me off from the server.

nilly is gone, server thrivin in rejoice, ooc is nuts

I'd rather play a server that is PvP when PvP actually matters. Griefing people trying to level is not my idea of fun. PvP should only start at level 58.

Being honest here; if the exp bonus was kept in, and PvP started at endgame I'm sure you'd see more PvP and more players.
