I always love watching PvP communities die through self-destruction.

Cant exactly say it self-destruction, though having a high concentration of e-thugs and sociopaths intent on griefing the rest of the server, who also whispered and whined directly to staff when they lost, never helped.
After steadily creeping up for months, the red population dropped like a rock, and continues to evaporate, since the staff first intervened with the server politics and power struggles, the very heart of EQ pvp. Once thats compromised and the powers that be personally involve themselves by playing, interacting and/or privately communicating with select people, they forfeit their objectivity and unwittingly align themselves. Bias is inevitably injected, authority used for evil, and the entire server becomes tainted by irrational and illogical regulations and rulings that stand in direct opposition to everything that made EQ pvp fun. Sure, much of this was changed months later, but the damage was already done.
Integrity = 0. Thats why red99 is dead99.
