It's not so much about preying on the stupidity of new players, but the perception about the Red server based on it's position in the selection menu.

A lot of people dislike emulations in-general. Until the Blue server, I was one of them. The stigma of mis-managed boxes, run out of some random dude's garage, with a heavy amount of custom content just turn people off. So a sense of legitimacy is important for a player coming in from Live or trying classic EverQuest after a long break. The servers highlighted in the legendary section inherently have that advantage over other servers. This is where the call to have Red moved back up comes from, since the players are aware that the quality of the box is high enough to warrant being listed among the most respectable of emulated servers. It is certainly better than the EZ server, and as people have pointed it the population numbers are deceptive since one includes boxing and the other does not.

So yeah...lets get Red moved back up to Legendary since it's the only PvP server worth a damn.
