Lets face it, after years of trying to get people to go there its obvious they dont want to be there. Repeat offenders (entire accounts) get sent to Red for X amount of time.
Do it in batches too, announcing fresh meat to the 50 some odd people who are there normally and to come back to Blue or Green they have to write a 5000 word essay on why the PNP is needed. If they quit, this wont be a bad thing. If they like it on Red, everybody wins.

geared blue toons could get a lot of decent loot farmed on red. it's not a punishment, everquest is better with less people.

This is assuming they are coordinated and I am also talking alts, mules and others being moved over

Not sure how much work that would take and if it could be exploited.. would be kinda cool though like an EQ Australia.
New South Wales, a state in southeast Australia, was founded by the British as a penal colony in 1788. Over the next 80 years, more than 160,000 convicts were transported to Australia from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, in lieu of being given the death penalty
Punishment fits the crime.

All the downvotes
All the naysaying
All the disagreeing are all testaments on how much people hate this as a punishment, which is a nice deterrent, which is what is needed.

Nobody wants to play on red, ever, ever, ever, ever. Its the worst server by far. Nobody likes EQ pvp. Those that say they do are drunk, and mis guided. Its hot garbage.
Hasn't been a thing in 20 years, and it never will be.
Let it die. Its horrible.

Screw that. Permaban every single one of them for good. All of Riot Freedom and AG. They have been a source of grief for the entire server. I don't know a single person that would miss a one of them. They have been doing this shit for years and years, fully aware of what they do. I even heard from the leaders of Freedom they know what they do is against policy, but they figure in that some of what they do will go in noticed and they get away with it. "It's the cost of doing business." (direct quote)
This is the shit they pull, have for years, do it deliberately, and could care less.
Yah, sounds real fun for the rest of us.......

Send everyone that loves racing and playing EQ mario kart to the red server, thanks to the PVP mechanics that can pretend its real mario kart and shoot banana peels and shells at each other during the races.

No one said the pvp was good. They said the experience of the server is good, which is is. Anyone who wants to experience what they don't have time for on blue or green should play red for sure. Join Sanctuary so you got people to play with.

Not to burst OPs bubblle but red was used for players who didn't fit on blue. They'd be banned on blue but not red so would go onto red or be forced onto red. If they chose to continue playing.

These people are so afraid of “losing“ in EQ red might fully break them mentally

That sounds like the point of punishment. Losing some pixels or playtime from being sent to Red server sounds like something you wont forget the next time you get a flash of anger.

Because raid suspensions and account bans are not working after 10 years of them happening.

As someone with no skin in the game, great idea.

Sounds like fun, send them on down to EQ Australia! We'll take anybody we can get.

From what I remember a GM a long time ago said 5% of the players are causing 95% of the servers problems. Maybe those 5% of players dont belong on Blue

Yep, sounds like a good idea. Maybe change their name to something like bunny or kissie too.

This is low tier humiliation at best. What we need is humbling.
