state of dota2 is great. even numbers pvp all day and more than 4 actions per minute.

Neverwinter pvp going strong also.

I'd really hate to be bald around this time of year

Voted Good! Population is on the rise - and with Velious around the corner, likely to surge even higher. Team-wise, there is finally a strong challenger to <Empire>, providing an alternative for raiders and generating competition (and no competition = stagnation). Plus, there are 3+ up-and-coming guilds providing communities for newcomers to the server.

I haven't been able to listen to the latest stream by GM Sirken, but it sounds like he discussed some issues with Red players.

I'd say the server needs MORE dialog between players and GMs/staff; as well as EVEN MORE players. I think 2 raid guilds is better than 1, but 3+ would be better than 2. Just like political parties.

I've been here since Red began and if you think the server is bad now, then you're either an ass or you probably didn't play back then. Even if you skip over Classic era without global ooc, guard assist and those awesome 15 player populations when Nihilum wasn't raiding, you still had the Kunark release time period with bugs that made some classes invincible, infinite range wizard nukes, at least one 3-4 hour dick measuring fight in ooc a day, and other overall general bullshit that drove most people away.
Oh and let's not forget GMs abusing powers and I believe one even involved in an RMT scheme, that's always fun.

It is considerably better for the average or casual player now, but maybe less so for the hardcore ego driven pvpers that made up most of the original population.

Appreciate what you have, rather than bitch about what you do not! It's free, so you got your money's worth.

Doesn't need a lot to have the population and overall quality improve in a vast measure. There's actually multiple routes you could take too.

The most important things are: Remove PNP, Remove LNS, Have GMs make a more conscious, consistent, and legitimate effort to Invis Stalk encounters for[MQ, Speedhacks, Training if deemed illegal, potential xp deathing if deemed illegal] if this means adding additional staff then so be it, and remove global ooc.

Additonal changes for massive improvement and keeping things fresh:Item Loot, Fresh Wipe, Teams PVP, Discord Server

VZTZ Emu was very successful with restarting the server every once in a while. 2-3 years would be an amazing point to auto reset for the current PVP server. We're also very fortunate enough to be blessed with a large community overall on P99 unlike we were on VZTZ Emu.
