This is where the interest in Teams is important. Likely a lot of the same people on Red now are going to end up there in some capacity, and in the end it may not feel much different. But to those players who simply won't even give Red a second thought, that clean slate looks mighty appealing.
Hmm, that is one of the first good posts about teams99 in a long time. I think everyone can agree that red's rep is, well, not good to put it mildly. A new PvP server has the potential to attract new players, but to summarize a key point same players = same atmosphere, which I think will lead to the same reputation and a similar population.

When, if ever, teams99 is launched, the GMs will have to be on patrol 24/7 to enforce the PnP rules. Otherwise the same toxic players that helped sully red99, will be back to do the same on teams99. After all, some people just like to throw rocks at trains.
