RED ELI 5

[strongNpretty]

Blue player here. Switched to red, and haven't looked back once.. Love having open camps. I have met plenty of people who i keep busy with on adventures. Many folks have alts of multiple loves and willing to login and adventure.

The PVP aspect adds some pretty cool stuff to the normal everquest vibe. Not knowing who to trust until you know them or the server. Second guessing people porting or LFG in /ooc cause you think they might stab you in the back.. People duking it out over a camp. People paying other people for your location... Changing your spells up when you leave an empty zone cause you dont wanna get jumped..

As a blue player since 2016, i already got to 60 and finished an epic.. I don't want to do that again and again, Red helps breath some life back into the game for me. A new learning curve, faster exp, and much more adventures to be had with so many open camps.

As a casual player- For sure red is the answer. At least my answer.. If you looking to join sanctuary, just let me know and i can send an invite!

Blue, green, there are professional crews that rotate/list. Of course people can't "kill you ". But I find green players extremely hostile and selfish about mobs they feel entitled to. It's like the only way they can express themselves is to level efficiently or acrue loot so they lose it if you don't "grind hard enough " or get out of the way.

Red, is wide open and often people will help you or even let you move in and camp things as there's no need to farm 3000 thick banded belts to buy an epic.

Sometimes you'll die and have to play an alt somewhere else, but lower guk will become accessible again, usually in a few hrs.

There's plenty of talkative people on both servers and I find red players generally more interesting and quirky than blue players who become severely agitated and aggressive if you inconvenience them in any way.

Often on red we compliment each other for creative big plays or cleverness and sneakyness.

I am glad you guys are having fun but that is so shitty for me to hear that on a pvp server you don’t engage in any pvp until 50ish. Really what makes pvp eq fun is that grind and the struggle from 0-50. Not nuthugging zone dancing top gear top buffed pvp.

PVP is the main draw. With low pop it doesn't happen a lot.

Items on PVP server matter that don't matter in any other part of everquest. Resist gear in particular is important in ways that it is not except in special PVE situations on live. Clickable items in numerous varieties.

On blue server you can use whatever dumb ass gear you want and honestly the game is easy the mobs just die it doesn't matter. You never need to bother self buffing except special circumstances etc etc

On red server your character strategy matters. I roll around with 5+ empty buff slots and a full round of fresh cleric buffs all the way down the line 100% of play time. On blue I walk around like a slob with Doritos on my belly because it makes no difference.

Basically the only thing that matters on blue is cosmetic preferences for your character. On red every part of the game matters and is worth exploring. Its no joke that on live, pvp players were certainly superior players to bluebies. You just had to be. You had to know more about the game to be successful on pvp.

Red is top heavy. That's the way it's going to be.

Its a group game. If you want kills, a shm/druid battle buddy combo is strong. Because of velios it is necessary to have a tash/malo.

Solo pvp. Rangers,paladins and sks are strong. They can spam cheaper spells and joust.

Just can't steamroll and dominate red solo like people do when they twink on green. It's how EQ be. If you want ezmode. Sure green is easy if you don't mind waiting in line for other players to have their fill of pixels.

It's refreshing to be on a server where people AREN'T spending 100% of their time camping the same item over and over and over just to tunnel fat cat it. It seriously is refreshing.. You need an item for a toon or a buddy? Then just go camp it, and move on.

Red players have said for about 5 years server is open. Go get whatever item you want. Shit join the one guild and get whatever end game loot you want. But if you really want a red server pvp has to go on from level 1-60 and that is just not viable on a stagnant locked box server.

I only attacked one person after they ported me and they were in Sanctuary.
