Intro
My fried who used to play on red99 told me about this server so I decided I will give it a try, because we had a great fun back then and it is still the best gaming experience I ever had and Im pretty sure it always will be. I have some vivid memories that will never fade away. We only got to lvl35 before I had to quit, so I thought hey, it would be cool to lvl to 60 this time and see the content. He has 31lvl shaman on red so I started there, made shaman named Hiero and picked up 400pp and some basic noob armor from my friends account (did not wanna play his shm because I would skip the low lvls).
Story
So here I am, lvling in FoB just having a blast. I get to lvl 10 pretty fast so I /ooc introduce myslef and ask if any anyone has a cheap poison wind censer for sale which is what my friend told me to look for. I get tell from Tune..."I can help you out". I told him i only have 320p (paid 80p for spells) so I can understand if he wont sell. He said its cool, told me to come to FP. Neefin was kind enough to offer port. He tells me he needs to relog to other toon and to look for him in /ooc when I get there. I /ooc Tune you there? when I get to EC tunnel. I get tell from Nask telling me to meet his other alt infront of FP gates. Nasktwo naked lvl 1 elf runs to me so i offer 320p and he clicks trade. Im thinking wtf, he is not pulling the old trick on me now, is he? He goes, "hurry before I get aggro". I asked where the weapon is, he answers he will deliver it....
Cut to rl
I should have loged 10min ago because Im runing late to a hockey game where I play defense in local amateur league, but the idea of getting the weapon made me stay and run for it, but the time is flowing fast and now Im sitting here, ready to /q out as soon as the trade is done and run to my car.
...so Im standing there and I dont know what to do. I have no time to think and finally I decide to risk it because Im thinking this is a guy who is veteran on the server, he is not gonna scam a newb out of 320p. Why would anyone do this on 2013emu server? Even if its pvp, its still only 2013emu. I could not imagine he would actually do it, because 320p is nothing for him. So I clicked trade. The rest is not important. Its the old "who are you?", "what do you want", "I dont know you" and my favourite "stop harrasing me" answers. /ooc was very amused and mostly celebrating Tune's heroic act, some were suprised, he would actually take the time to relog for such a low amout of money. I got 1 tell from dude who was saying he is sorry about it so thanks to him for being cool...
Conclusion
Dont play on red. It is a waste of time and a cesspool. You will not have fun in an environment controled by retarded toxic players who had no chance to grow up irl so they compensate here. When veteran player known by whole server does this, because he knows reputation does not matter on this server, you know its a place for special people. Call me naive or stupid, but I judged the situation from my point of view. Would I scam a newb out of all he has even when its nothing to me? Never. I knew about the risk, I took it and I paid. I can live with that. He did it just for the fun of screwing me.... thats pretty low, dude. You have to be one sad soul irl if that is what you are doing here and I have to say I feel more sorry for you than the stolen plat. You keep it, I wont need it anymore.

P.S. you guys dont forget to post your annual "come play on red, its a lot of fun" threads. They are really really cool! All they really want is more people they could scam.
P.P.S. sorry for the wall of text
