Some people just want to roleplay, socialize, and slay monsters while you camp some items and sit back and sip some wine while you watch your friends on facebook taking the ALS ice bucket challenge. If you are this kind of person and you do not enjoy confrontation with others, or you have thin skin and find someone getting the upper hand on you or pushing you out of a zone extremely demoralizing then you should probably stay away.
But if you are the kind of person that wants to test your mettle against other players, and enjoy the thrill of the hunt, then the Red experience can give you something that you can't get on blue, fighting real people that think and make decisions. High intensity fights on red can give you an adrenaline rush that you can not find on the blue server or most games these days where everyone's a winner. Everyone is not a winner on the red server, and if you show up with your B-Game not only are you not going to get a runner's up trophy but you are going to get destroyed and people are going to take pictures and video of your beating and put it to music on the forums for people to mock.
Yes the red server has a small community and it has some scummy people just as the blue server does, but I can say in this cesspool of roaming marauders and cutpurses I have found some brothers in arms to do battle with. If somehow you ever stand against insurmountable odds and manage to pull victory from the clutches of your enemies clenched gluttonous fist, only then will you understand why we play here. You will not find an experience like this in Call of Duty, or any new age RPG.
After experiencing this server, where skill is just as important as time investment, you may look back and find the blue server boring and dull. You also might find it more inviting than you remember it, as you go running back to your "Safe Place" where atleast you can use the bathroom without having to log out. Lastly you may also find that you are now a turncoat who they call the brigand of Unrest with only your trusty Ragebringer at your side and a chip on your shoulder. The type of person that sends people running back to the blue server kicking and screaming and scares children and lesser men at the grocery store checkout line.
