Red99 had a chance when it launched of being a populated server. Instead people chose to exploit plat quests when they could and kill level 2 newbies in their home town while the guards watched.

Wrong. Red99 had a great launch, Rogean released VP about 2 days later though and completely killed a lot of players drives to stay on red. Most hardcore TMO / IB left and went back to blue to raid VP.
Some months later Rogean nuked the guild <Holocaust> and banned or suspended all its members for a strat to kill Vox that Nihilum was also using. Rogean was never a fan of this guild or its members due to their shady histories. After this Nihilum took off, the box nearly died and went on life support, and Nihilum had uncontested farming of all raid content for a year or more.
The experience rates being raised was a constant argument.
Yellow text not being in from the start.
The debate over teams.
There is a lot more to it than you think, believe me. Rogean and Nilbog do a great job with these servers but when it has come to Red99, some serious mistakes were made.
With that said, Red99 has become a lot better. Double the exp of blue, YT, competitive guilds and a raid scene. 100 more new faces or so would make it even better. It's nice playing a server where every single exp or item camp doesn't have a line of people waiting to get it. And if you want something bad enough just kill the other person and take it. None of this variance bullshit or raid rules.
More people should play it imo. I always hear rumors about the playerbase griefing noobs off. Have yet to ever see it. Most people are helpful and I've been giving items and buffs to noobs as I run into them.
