The idea of letting someone transfer, copy, clone, whatever-the-hell a character that they leveled up on blue over to red is insane. I don't really think that even deserves an explanation. Doesn't that seem to give clear and distinct advantage to people who play on blue compared to people who are native to red? Can you imagine why anyone might prefer to level a character on blue, or transfer, copy, clone, whatever-the-hell their character of many years over to the red server? Whatever exp, items, spells that were achieved on that character were done solely on blue, without any of the added difficulties of red.
I thought the staff did a great job with the last patch in terms of helping bolster the red community and bring blue players over. If we can discern any sort of meaningful patterns or results of this patch, we can say that red population has increased significantly as a direct result of the staffs efforts and the changes implemented in the most recent patch. Each of these new players that have joined red in the last month (or whatever) have leveled up from 1 while enjoying quite a lovely exp bonus. This is proving to be incentive enough to help out with the server's population.
What I'm saying is this: don't take ridiculous measures that are are more imbalanced than your previous efforts in an attempt to bring more people to this server. This isn't some sort of beta server where you can just copy characters over...
Again, I can't even believe this is a non-troll thread.
