Consider red.

[mickmoranis]

its just simple math. Do you like your games to hold your hand through them? Play blue99 (World of Warcraft) or do you like challenging games? pay red99

Whether you like red or you don't like red, this thread proves many people have an opinion on it <3

This is one man's opinion. Other opinions are available.

PvP is an atrociously balanced afterthought to EQ. Having a server dedicated to it makes as much sense as a server dedicated to the Baking trade skill.

I've seen "balanced" pvp where a cleric wins all their 1v1s. You likely wouldn't know what balanced looks like even if you saw it. The only afterthought you can have on blue is how useless all the gear you obtain is once you get it. The pinnacle of your success is measured in the amount of players who'll inspect you while you go AFK in EC tunnel all day. Better check your logs to see how cool you are.

it's not like there's much meaningful pvp on red99

most of your gear doesn't matter there either

"more players who like pvp" will not save red, not while people are still running around with level 60 gear on and deleveled themselves by dying over and over. Will never be anything remotely resembling fun until that gets fixed or the preteens who are doing it grow up...

despite the many issues on red99, people deleveling characters for the purpose of griefing isn't even really a thing

and even if someone were to do so, you would outlevel them in about an hour or two of actual grinding

if someone like that stops you from playing, you probably wouldn't like EQ PvP anyway

The last toon I levelled on red I went all the way to 50 with no /role or /anon.

The only pvp I got was at level 7 (enchanter wouldn't share nek forest zombies with me so I took it by force) and much later on while AFKing under the BB docks (dumb paladin took over 10 mins to melee me down, took me 5 mins to get back to corpse. lol). In the 50s the occasional druid would come after me while I passed through lavastorm but that was it.

I did most of these levels in the lavastorm area (Najena -> SolB) with my level/race/class exposed. I'm not gonna lie the real disappointment was that no one ever came to play with me (whether to fight against or with each other). Delevelled twinks seems to only be a problem in unrest/mistmoore and even then they don't seem to happen anymore.

If you do decided to join red I suggest forming a small crew. I think many of the ALS players could enjoy a bit of red experience.
