Red99 - Friendship, Fun times, Forced by someone to make this thread

[Dragnath]

The thing about P99, is that it is an emulator to relive the nostalgia of playing Everquest the way it was ~16 years ago. Back then (highschool) I had time to sink in to the game and bicker over camps and sit around /lfg for hours at a time.

Fast forward 16 years, there's shit to do, (work, family, general adult responsibilities). I tried blue for the nostalgia and realized that playing 4-5 hours a week just isn't realistic. If I log on for a play session to level up and the camp is taken, it can take over an hour just to get to a new spot, that could be my night.

Although I'm pretty fresh on Red, it's nice to be able to log on and have places open to hunt, but not so dead that I'm just playing a single player game. On top of it, the people on Red seem to be extremely nice and willing to help out which is refreshing.

Not trying to judge Blue players, I mean if you are just getting in to Everquest for the first time and are 12-22 years old (or retired), have at it. For anyone who can manage to balance family, work, life and EQ Blue endgame I applaud you, because that is an immense task.

Good post

if you're looking for a classic everquest experience, your only option around here is to level 1-60 on blue and then be done

red99's leveling experience isn't anywhere close to classic, neither are both servers' raid scenes

This is about as honest an answer as you are going to get. Server bickering aside he's right, As far as the raid scene's go if you want to experience end game content more casually go red, if you want to experience it more hardcore go blue, my advice avoid both raid scenes and just have fun leveling, no matter which server you choose.

Send a tell to Greyhound/Kagz if you need some buffs/PL action or a port if you are new, try to bring a couple friends and check out the group exp mod. Ill be glad to help anyone out. Come try Red!

Bump, lots already coming over

[Nirgon]

you had 40 on your last raid, down from a reported 70

and you lost like 6 members with core raiding classes in the last 2 weeks

[Tune]

i think you'd have better luck if you actually killed vulak at some point in the 7 days a week that you raid for 5-9 hours a day
