Why not switch?

[Nuggie]

fine fine. i'm logging in to red right now to play for an hour.

edit - but only because i left a blue char logged in to record fte's at home(i'm traveling)

edit - mid 40's was a lie, he's only 38

no balls

i hit 60 on red, raided a little and then quit back in kunark. i wasn't griefed off, but the community is really just a piece of shit; not to me personally..but when i saw a lot of people make fun of a dude bc he's in a wheelchair for life, that's just too far.

if you're goal is to see new content and do more classic raids (clearing to bosses, etc.) without the blue mechanics, then red might be for you..that's if you can tolerate the community.

laughed hard at this post cus its true and i love it

Red has a strange meta, where it seems not to be characters vs characters but literally players vs players in some pseudo psychological warfare. It's a rather sad state, but obviously cherished by dozens.

Maybe a green red server (brown?) could be cvc instead of pvp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I did switch back pre-Kunark. I managed to lvl a little female gnome necromancer named Maam to lvl 50. Back then the red server was more populated so I got to interact with quite a few while leveling up.

I found a few good friends there but mostly I had bad experience with ppl that are so fully explained in this thread already. I'm bit of a stubborn person, so I leveled her to max lvl 50 (at that time) to be sure I fully gave red a chance.

Shotly afterwards I quit red. I have never re-thought it and I never considered coming back. Thanks for the experience that was mostly bad and therefor the reason for not switching (back again).

Just my two pence. Quote it to pieces or whatever.

P99 forums are the single worst place to try and recruit players for the red server. Everyone here noticed throughout the years that the cringiest posters who make a fool of themselves by spamming the forums with nonsense (xaanka, azzar and the like) are almost invariably red players.

Try recruiting somewhere else, maybe rerolled forums or even WoW forums etc.

Sounds like a pack of sociopaths.

It is very possible. All it takes is one guild to start acting like somewhat well adjusted people... Which is the core problem for red. It is being run by man-children who think EQ PvP takes balls.
