A lot of team work goes into red. I levelled a character in the lavastorm area and had no problems for dozens of levels.

The ganking/fungus men seem to be much rarer. It is a fast road to 50 and from there it is teamwork!

Cyclock now the official red99 GM? Shame if so, he has been (or was) great for blue. We were at seb king a few weeks ago and he popped in to make us all unicorns.

In the words of our rogue, we were majestic as fuck.

I appreciate trying to clean up red server, but piggybacking threads by Swish is not going to help your case. Swish has been trolling/spamming blue forums for years with this mess and relentlessly raging over BDA's actions regarding some rotation or somesuch. He apparently used to be cool and well liked until he ragequit blue and ran off to red.

Pvp servers on EQ are fun. They work out well when you have a healthy population both in total players and across the full spectrum. Red has neither of these. The xp bonus means you blast through the fun part of eq too quickly only to reach the end which is full of raid geared toons at 60 with excessively twinked alts to cover all level ranges from 46-55. Gear makes eq pvp even more lopsided.

The playerbase is tiny and full or caustic folks at this point. Pvp is fine and all, but the chest thumping and sour attitude at large is not appealing to most.

The best chance for a pvp server is literally to start fresh and with a pvp teams setup. Population would be large and healthy as long as GMs work hard to minimize the toxicity.

Look at all the top shelf critters just waiting to be killed on RED. These raid targets are just a few examples. Most raid mobs are just there for the taking. ZERO waiting in line.

A lot of people on red are willing to help out new players! Give it a try!

Are you secretly Swish? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't care either, I like that he is actively hitting the forums with some positivity and using his personal cache to try to cultivate a better future for Red.

Swish, if that's you, keep it up and showcase more mobs that Blue nerds could have access to. This just might make some of them think and leave Blue to try Red!

Cylock, if you are not Swish, keep it up anyway!

I am pretty sure the allure of such huge, shiny pixels will draw some players off Blue eventually to try Red.

It appears Red is a smorgasbord of ultra-powerful raid mobs waiting to be taken down, with the most BiS items found on P99!

Surely a little PVP doesn't scare you Blue nerds THAT much, does it?

I personally support this thread!

Try Red!

Nice bait but this isnt RNF, if you're mad please make your way there and set up a thread about this thread. Thank you for checking in and taking a look here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On a separate note I was having a good time on red last night and will be on again later <3

Troxx's post doesnt belong in RnF it belongs here. He just stated the truth about red. I find it funny how you feel it is ok to bash blue and point out everything that you dont like about it, but no one else is allowed to do the same thing to red. When anyone talks about red like you talk about blue well then it belongs in RnF.

Maybe next time you start a thread about recruiting for red dont talk about blue. Just say all the good things about red and all the things you like about it. But stop stirring up things between red and blue.

'Blue is overcamped, inflated and even the little level 1s are close to spawning with a full set of Velious armor.' That was the first thing you wrote in this thread. And yes you were trashing blue. Spread the love not the trash.

Red is the topic. If you want to attack a player, do that in RNF.

This is a constructive thread to talk about players who want to try something new. People do their best to get these threads moved, I get it. But honestly, lets stay on track here.

How do you talk about an EverQuest server with a different ruleset without referencing the server people are coming from? Care to give that a try?

That's the truth. You can argue against facts but they're still facts. I tried to give out some old stuff about 3-4 months ago and every low level player in Gfay had better. I went and buffed people and saw Velious armor or at least some Kunark stuff.

You're not going to find that on red most of the time. There just aren't the items circulating to hand out. Basically I'm saying the inflation isn't there so the comparative wealth between a level 1 new starter and a high end trader isn't so ridiculous. Sorry for bringing blue server into it, but as any new player to red is coming from blue I don't see how you can get around not mentioning it. Sorry about that.
