People here for classic experience...?

This is a FANTASTIC way to burn out and turn into a slimy neckbeard. i am glad to report i leveled slowly, in a huge variety of zones and with different groups. It really was a boon to reliving that "classic" experience [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Alts and tradeskilling, a couple of months-long breaks when I got fed up with one thing or another... 3 years and 3 months since I rolled Kaev, my first char and my main, and just made 58 this month. P99's been a lot of fun and (I expect) will continue to be a lot of fun.

But MMO PvP in general and EQ PvP in particular hold zero attraction to me. If I wanted to demonstrate once again how terrible I am at MMO PvP I'd reactivate an EVE Online account and go do it in a game designed from the ground up for PvP. The endless "play red" spam is a constant low-level annoyance, a waste of bandwidth and a waste of time. Spam is spam even if the GMs love you, it contributes nothing positive to the environment.

....so anyways, are there any other new players who came for a classic experience and sampled both and are enjoying playing on one server more than the other and have stories to share? Since the grown men on this forum cry like little bitch girls making it a pissing contest when that is not at all what this thread was intended for?


Seriously. You People just don't get it at all. The thread... the difference in playing on the two servers... any of it. You just go "THIS IS MY SERVER. THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE"

Shut the fuck up already bashing one anothers servers. The thread was intended to discuss the MERRITS of each and the vast differences in playstyles, and satiate my piqued interest in whether other NEW PLAYERS had tried each by any chance and found a similar experience.

If you have multiple level 60's on either server and don't regularly play lvl 1-30 game play in the past 6 months, this thread HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU MOST LIKELY.

Just to clarify. Go swing your mighty epeens in some other thread. This wasn't a recruitment letter, I'm not a troll, I'm not here to battle red vs. blue like some old school pokemon shit or halo... I was just asking to hear about other NEW players experience with the gameplay and environments and economies of each server.

Get your close minded server warfare out of my thread please. I don't think any of my posts have been anything but constructive for the most part, and I play on both, I just find my enjoyment being at opposite ends of the spectrum almost for each server.

If you came to p1999 looking for a classic experience, are you playing blue or red? Curious because I can't even enjoy blue now that I went to red...

Anyone care to share thoughts or expand?

OP asks for opinions on which server is better. Then, asks for thoughts and elaboration on why one server is better than another... Then rages when people debate about which server is better... Makes sense.

asked which felt more classic to play, in terms of in game experience. Never said which is better, said both great, both have benefits, which do other new players feel more nostalgic playing and prefer if you've tried both.

Thread generally targeting NEW PLAYERS. You daft elf forum bastards made it some sick red vs. blue sound off (mostly blue server people raging because someone mentioned the red server in a server chat sub forum....) and proceeding to have your menses sync up and ragrage out all over my thread.


...if you wanna call it how it played out... in full context...


I'd still love to hear form a few more with experience on both, especially newly returning players.... if there are any others at this point...

Not sure how a super low population server with tons of non classic crap (hello 300% exp gain) makes you feel "more classic"

However, if you want a fast path to 60, free gear, easy camps, and no competition...red is for you!

I will say Red has been a more fun experience in the low level grouping for me. On blue I usually just end up soloing because 1, its usually faster exp (groups are only better when optimized and I am no min maxer at all)) and 2, RL makes me have to bail often on groups or go afk here and there and people understandably don't like that.
The lower pop on red means you need to find where the groups are but people are happy to take you if they have room since more people = more exp. No one ever cared about my gear, what class I play etc. If I have to afk a min or 2 no one cares because they are still getting more exp with a full group. I don't know if its "more classic" but so far the low level grouping has been more fun. I think it was a great idea to implement the group exp for a low pop server where no one would want to play a group class without it. (ie. before group exp: 2 necros and a mage all soloing and 1 paly sitting LFG, after group exp: all 4 grouping and having a blast and being social)
