State of Red 1999

my group and i actually moved over to Red recently. we think it's great. good exp bonus and very little competition for camps. we get most zones to ourselves and are leveling quickly. there's 4 of us, too, so we don't feel as much in danger as if we were playing alone. we've only seen a few other people within PvP level range so far, and they were all alone and gave us a wide berth.

we have zero intention of doing PvP, though. we're just there because it's got exp bonus and we get zones to ourselves--although the potential for PvP does add a bit of spice and danger to it all. there have also been some hilarious fratricide incidents.

You're literally why this server is shitty good luck on your empire app baby zergling

this guy invested 90% of his IRL into 3 years of red99 and was not able to down any velious mobs so he quit.

Sounds about right, but it wasn't his call. His leaders failed him.

So, basically, a lot of you seem to be playing on red 99 with zero intentions of pvp.

It appears you are just there for the easy experience bonus and empty loot camps.

Eh, at that point, you might as well just go to ezserver or whatever

yA man if u want to wait in line for a FISHBONE EARRING [lol this seriously happens on blue post velious i cant even make this up, u guys had a thread about fishbone ear having 5 hour line last month and people were acting like thats normal] and sit in a zone for 16 hours tracking for FTE put ur name on the list otherwise u may as well go to ez server

pve players come to red because the raiding rules aren't total garbage that makes the game unplayable like the blue server. encounters are also significantly harder on red because there isn't item recharging, red's only for the most skilled players you feel me?

The problem with Red is most of the people who initiate PVP are deleveled or twinked. When there's no level restriction on gear it makes PVP a complete joke.

Actually I hate level restrictions for most gear. In WoW there is no restriction on who you can kill lol. So a level 100 can mow down lvl 10s in contested zones.

The problem is not twinking, its people who intentionally want to see the server lose players, especially new ones. How else can you explain someone who is very twinked, ganking someone who is clearly in newb gear over and over and over.

I have seen the very same twinked player PK those in range to him and then train people OOR, repeatedly. The same guy then started KSing mobs we pulled. He was reported by everyone in our group and yet the next day he was back at it all over again.

There was no indication that anything was done to the griefer.

First off, OP complaining about low pop on Valentine's Day weekend. Shody

Actually the pop has been dropping every week I have been here. There are a few peaks when raid guilds head on but I have noticed a steady decline. So... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well that is only one thing that makes it harder. Your allies can harm you, stun etc.

Just delete blue99.

me and my brothers been enjoying the exp bonus, the empty camps, and we are supercasual (3-4 hours a week). our endgame plan is to either join the zerg (if they'll have us) for raiding opportunity and/or going around the world, 3v1 or 2v1 anyone we come across. see you on RED
