Consider red.

[fan D]

the thing is, when you play on blue, you realize half of the stats and items don't matter. And when you raid, all of the items you get don't actually make a difference. All of the content was cleared day 1 of release, so you don't need to gear up to help progress your guild. It's literally just slaying mobs to look at the stats on your items (again, half of the stats dont matter on blue.

you don't need resists on blue, you don't need dex, agi,

all you need is hp, ac, str, wis and int

nothing else matters

AND when you get raid loot, theres nothing to do with it. Getting more raid loot doesn't help you kill raid mobs.

in conclusion, playing with red and the 20 people on the server is still more fun than playing blue. (I played blue everyday, 12 hrs a day for 4 years)

This is why pvp in everquest makes everquest better.

You can roleplay that Qeynos hills needs protecting all you want, but you're kidding yourself if you know that doesnt get old fast. There just isnt a reason to use 90% of the content in the game on blue.

Thats what makes RedEQ superior for all time.

PvP is an atrociously balanced afterthought to EQ. Having a server dedicated to it makes as much sense as a server dedicated to the Baking trade skill.

I used to think that, but then I gave EQ pvp a try and I know now that really isn't true.

I've seen "balanced" pvp where a cleric wins all their 1v1s. You likely wouldn't know what balanced looks like even if you saw it. The only afterthought you can have on blue is how useless all the gear you obtain is once you get it. The pinnacle of your success is measured in the amount of players who'll inspect you while you go AFK in EC tunnel all day. Better check your logs to see how cool you are.

Red99 is the way to go, the raid scene on Blue couldn't be any worse.

PvP doesn't have to be your sole focus either, it's just something to add excitement into an otherwise simple game.

You two must be in cahoots or something. Are you both tunnel fat cats worrying about a fall in demand of items if a few dozen people switch to red?

OMG this is the other thing he ALWAYS says. Tunnel fat cats. An innocent thread, bouncing along...as soon as someone says anything even slightly about some difficulty, TA DAA there is Swish with a 'This wont happen on Red', which starts the SAME GODDAMN argument we've had 50 million times, and when he gets pressed a little he immediately whips out his 'tunnel fat cats' remarks.
I... I... I just can't TAKE it any more.
