If red got rid of the double xp and the global /ooc people would take it seriously. As it is now you're constantly spammed with juvenile jackassery and you have to use /shout as an alternative to /ooc. Also this trolls and iksar grouping with elves shit is stupid on a pvp server.

Still amazed how many people are incapable of using chat filters. If it bothers you filter it to a closed window.

"omg no its just stupid and if i do that i wont have anything to whine about"

Swish - who is Pallas Athene? Sounds like he's quoting my favorite character from Friel's Translations.

Like this gif for example, i dont know what the fuck it is but its awesome.

EQ PvP is objectively bad. Good for you if you like it, but its always had a tiny demographic. I'd love to see what numbers you guys would roll with if they took the Exp bonus away.

I'm just pointing out the main reasons why people on blue consider red to be p99's version of Tiajuana. I'm not at all amazed that players don't put up with things that they don't have to.

Well the thing about the double exp is that I don't think it really encourages people to play on red, I think what it really encourages is the notion that red isn't a serious server.

Your right about that ^^ That's not its purpose though. It is there to encourage grouping and expedite new players and alts to the action since the purpose of the server is pvp and L60 offers as much even footing as one can get ^^

I held the same snarky view regarding the bonus though, thinking slow xp embodied the essence of Classic gameplay. After giving Red a to though I realized gameplay was far more important to me than XP per kill and actually kind of appreciated the ability to get more done with less ^^

I honestly think the xp bonus really balances out "falure" though, which is great for a server where your xping can come to a screetching halt when 1 guy busts in kicking your group mates in the face while you're tryign to level.

A lot of people dont have the will to keep at it when this game is crushingly cruel to you, I mean deep down its why we all love classic eq, but deep down we also get frustrated when we're trying to just play our favorite game while our So's sleep or watch sex in the city. Red can be far more crushingly difficult than blue can be.

I love classic EQ and everything that the game has to offer, but as someone who has spent a lot of time playing this game I think the xp rate on red99 is what eq should have been. Its by no means exploitive (it still takes a day of grinding to get through a level come 46+) and its equally less painful than 46+ is in classic/blue.

[86753o9]

It's not a snarky view, you were correct. The exp bonus is just another difference from classic eq that makes red more different from classic eq, not less different.

But none if this matters, red is different than blue. People who like red like it because it's different from blue. People who don't like red don't like it because it's different from blue. The reality is, if red want's more players to come over from blue then red needs to change to be more like blue. And that's not going to happen because red players don't want red to be more like blue. So instead they tell blue players something ridiculous that basically amounts to "you should learn to like things that you don't like". Most players on blue have toons on red, so it's not a matter of blue players not knowing what they are missing.

Some of us came from rallos zek and vz/tz (3 wipes?), long before these dudes claiming to be pvp champions. Some of us know better and don't want to deal with everything red has to offer.

I made a ranger on red and got to 27 in 16 hrs and got free loots. And had NO PVP AT ALL THE ENTIRE TIME.

People on blue just have aspergers, come to red, and get obliterated because they have aspergers.
