I thought the "dead99" posts were exaggerations until I tried it for myself the other day. Made a halfling warrior and played for pretty much the whole day without seeing another soul.
OOC was also pretty much as bad as everyone says it is. I don't know how people can stand to see that garbage for any real length of time. It really does need to be policed or just removed, as whatever value it may have added was completely destroyed by trolling and epeening.
Rerolled on Blue and things are night and day population wise. Ended up making my way to ecommons and grabbing a bind and buffs from the tunnel crowd. There were more people at the tunnel on Blue than on the entire Red server.
So yeah, if anyone is looking to start playing I would, as a new player myself, recommend giving Blue a try. The lack of players on Red combined with the awful display the few players who are online broadcast in the OOC channel just make the server a major letdown. Blue players just seem nicer and, well, actually exist.
