main reasons why people don't play red is the same reason why I've stopped playing red.
The playerbase.
Mind you, I was only low level, never had a chance to be corpse camped or anything like that because I was near qeynos. The reason why I quit is because of the horrible folks in OOC.
'blah blah turn on filter'
it's painfully obvious when disgusting people are saying disgusting things even if the curse words are D*SFN!' and when someone makes a truly tasteless comment denigrating anything from women, to the Jewish people (which, by the way, is rampant on the server and the forums yet no one says anything? ) it just makes you sick to have to deal with it.
'well don't be stupid /ignore'
Congratulations, you have ignored 3/4 of the server, and the rest don't talk so now you are truly alone... might as well just play soloquest on another server.
I'm not specifically blaming you sirken, or any of the other guides.. you guys do a heroic job with the staff you have and the handicaps you're given.
But seriously, why would anyone want to leave a relatively mature and adult server like blue to play on red and see 'HURF DERF FUK DEM JEWZ DAY DID 9-11' 'HE PK'D ME HIM OBESE IRL' 'HAY HAVE YOU GUYZ SEEN (name of random movie or tv show) [spammed 100 times]' '(insert horrible, graphic, and disgusting discription of homosexual act here)' 'sexism, racism, sexism, racism'
TL : DR Red needs OOC moderated and people who do say the horrible things they do on there need to be temp/permabanned.
Just my 2cp after a week of playing on red.
