Red: My Experience~

[fan D]

lol, love doing that.

I was in a SOLB group once on red, royals. we were pulling all 3 rooms plus extra kobolds, chain pulling. The group was running smooth for hours, eventually we had so many adds the enchanter couldn't keep everything CC'd. mobs rooted and mezzed all over the place. The room is SO small, we got 6 elfs and 10 kobolds all around in one tiny area. I decided to turn on them at this time, was too perfect. I started breakin mezzes and killed the ench. Then I killed the lonely halfling druid healer in the group. It was a double YT with my name in lights. I ran off to lavastorm feeling like a million bucks

its only eq afterall, live a little

red couldnt offer a better pve experience than the current sever situation though

The point I was trying to make in one of my earlier posts is that it’s less of a PvP server any more and more like an underpopulated Blue server. I prefer PvE and am having a great time on Red.

I'm not entirely against playing on both sides...

An intrepid duo started their night in Mistmoore, hung in there and snowballed into a full blown group.

Red, not quite dead.

Full group in action, looks like they had a visit from a friendly guide as well.

Maybe they'll get some melees to join them tomorrow?

I don't understand why a guild or two from Blue hasn't moved over to Red as a group. Even if you just started with a dozen active players you could still do a lot of content and have more fun than sitting around on Blue waiting in line for everything. The most common objection to Red at this point is that, "It's a dead server, there's no one to play with." Which is kind of true. But if you bring your own guild that doesn't matter nearly as much. And ultimately farming pixels on Blue is just as pointless as doing it on Red (spoiler alert: this entire game is a huge waste of time). Red's underpopulation should actually be a huge attraction for adventurous and ambitious guilds on Blue.

I'll tell you a story. It's a true story. When I played live, it was on the Fennin Ro server. That is the original home of the very TMO guild you reference. I played from 1999 to 2003. During my playtime and beyond, TMO ruled over Fennin Ro. And when I say they ruled, it didn't matter if they were farming the top monsters of expansion X. They still back tracked to raid monsters in past expansions and original EQ. You either used your current guild as a stepping stone into TMO to see endgame in Everquest, or you just didn't get access to the content you paid $12 a month for.

When I joined P99 in June and visited the forums, I had a good laugh. Looks like some of the old members of TMO came to P99 to relive their glory days, after all, WoW humbled many of them as players.

TMO was not run off the server without a reason. They were run off the server because they wanted to create the same choke hold over content on red that they had blue. THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT RED COULD FIGHT THEM BACK AND STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING!

People not in the top guilds of blue have multiple threads of being denied even the chance to experience end game. They would've killed for the chance to even the playing field against a guild like, TMO. Red has such a great story of the players preventing an invading force that sought to consume their world. Doesn't that make for a great story in an MMORPG?

Happy to have this new member join our server and offer an honest review of the community.

EDIT
Forgot a word.

I was there through all of that. I remember hearing about TMO, but not in any soul crushing way. But then, I wasn't in a guild that was competing for top end. We rarely saw them in our circles.

Little lonely early in the night, but at least they have each other.

Later on they found some old friends.

AND BEHOLD!!!

The mythical Red 99 twink(Conspirator) arrives to ruin the day.

However the scales were not in his favor. He was only able to delay our heroes for a few minutes, before he had to run off; and so they moved on to bigger and better things.

Try Red, not as bad as they want you think.
