red99 is in a bad state, because people quit, because they couldn't stop fighting each other long enough to achieve goals in the game. I am doubtful patching will bring them back from this respite unless they believe it has dramatically increased their chances of beating Nihilum. The only way I can see for this to happen is for the patch to directly or indirectly negatively effect Nihilum.
I'm always for the RZ solution, item loot solves everything, however this is something that has to be done at the start of the server and since it was not, there is no fixing it.
RZ fostered the server's growth with a top guild alliance, which said that if you randomly griefed people off the server by PK'ing, you weren't allowed to get top end gear in the top end guilds. I think this is the way for us to fix the situation this server finds itself in. Change to an anti-grief mindset.
