Skirmish pvp on that server is non existent due to a) lack of targets, b) fear of YT and sitting near zone lines, c) huge server, small population. Outside of respawn days finding people to kill who aren't going to instantly gate as soon as you enter the zone or plug as soon as you find them is near impossible.

Point in fact, red99 is only red for 1 day a week, and 50v50 pvp in those zones with the current gear level is not fun.

The project99 staff shot themselves in the foot by not allowing boxing, could easily have at least 600 pop on the red server during prime time if it was allowed. Would make pvp much easier to find and non-respawn days somewhat bearable.
Well CoM always has groups in it for level 40-50 pvp and KC usually has groups with 50-60 players. You can pretty much hit those spots anytime for PvP. If you had a small crew you could hit one of those spots, kill a few and then leave before a zerg came for you.

You will always have to deal with gating and plugging on any EQ server though.
