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.

From my lurking on the forums of P1999 I have made some steady observations about why the PvP server is terrible and no-one wants to play there.
1) Having an ego, talking trash and being a tool is great and awesome... if your server peak is over 1000 players and not 100.
2) Server admins always suck, on every game that ever allowed a private server in the history of gaming. They do what they think is right, you just have to deal with it or move on unfortunately.
Red99 reminds me of the movie "The Village" the same exact people are fighting each other and they think they are the center of the universe and nothing new ever happens... when in reality there is a giant wall a few miles away surrounding you where the real world lies.
