Second, the majority of the people interested in playing PVP have a lot of time invested there and it would take a lot to get them to walk away from it.
And I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you regarding a teams ruleset, but I think it would be silly to roll out another R99/FFA clone. Maybe some people are interested in a "purple" server but not red. Anything you can do to grab a few dozen more people should be done.

Uthgard closing down was announced after its pop took a heavy nosedive with the opening of origins. Im not aware if it had shutting down periods before origins opened that made people get tired of uth on top of origins opening.
Uthgard had the brand name too, it didnt change anything when it looked like another team was giving it a shot. If random server 123 pops up its not going to do anything. But a proper server with a proper forum and a team behind it, then i see it happening.
I know people invested alot of time on red, but look at people on uth. 5 years. To then have server reset because another server got it right. Better to cut your losses early. But like i said, i dont beleive it will happen. Just had to write my OP to be done with it, to stop being tempted to give feedback to steer things in a better direction.
The ruleset ive described is not a red99 clone. I guess you had to be on Rallos to see really what i am talking about with Gfay being the core zone and how vibrant, fun and different from red99 that zone was. To see the madness that was the 2001 halloween event and doing a /who in EK bringing up 205 players who are pvping over event mobs.
