What's going on with the Server (Red Update 2-5-12)

[Amuk]

Server just needs global ooc badly, have alts I would play - but it just isnt viable with 100-140 ppl online. Probably 10% are in my range and that's being generous - and they are probably off soloing weird random spots anon.

Might not be enough to save it, but I think it will help.

Honest the biggest complaint Im hearing from the guild I am in comprising of mostly lowbies is the exp rate is way to slow. i know its supposed to be a classic feel but it is such a game stopper for server newbs. I have seen 2 or 3 people quit already because they want to have fun and PvP not grind out a toon all the way to 50. The only options in lowbie pvp is ganking some half afk grinder.

exp to slow wahwah... its everquest what did you expect. this isnt some world of warcraft server

Well the population makes the exp rate boring - noone wants to solo their way to 50 for 10 days played minimum.

Not saying that I don't agree with classic EQ, just doesn't seem to be working - and something needs to be changed, or given up - the people who seem to think it's fine the way it is really arn't playing on the box.

i think its the excessive douchebaggery that drives people away; moreso than the exp rate.

this server is basically vztz reloaded

I'm a new player, just started about two weeks ago.

I came to the Red server to play something close to EQ Rallos Zek. I have played almost every MMO released in the last 10 years and don't need another fast level... "dude its supposed to be about the PvP" server. I went for EQ classic because of slow leveling lots of PvE, fighting over spawns, losing corpses, losing gear, losing XP,etc. all the things Rallos had.

After 2 night of messing around in Qeynos, I found a couple folks to group with we played every couple of nights and soon our group grew to four people and over the last few days things exploded and we stared a new guild with about 50 players, 50% newbs, 75% less than 10th level.

It may take a few weeks but as folks level up you should see new faces and more folks to group with at the mid levels on our way to 50.

Never played WoW so I am not sure what you meant by that. I was just suggesting that a exp bonus would benefit the server. It would create a broader base of players that want to play Red99 but do not want to grind full time for a month or two. If you cut down the time it takes to get to max, you get much more pvp and much greater guildvsguild combat.

Thank you Amelinda.

I personally voted no on the global OOC channel for fear that it would be a cesspool but I am happy to see that it will be moderated and actually serve a purpose. Props to you for dedicating yourself to the server.

Better ease up on Pudge
