Honestly the biggest hurdle with the PvP server is the preconceived notion that it's all grief, all the time, and that EQ wasn't meant for PvP. The interesting thing is that, almost by accident, it was fun.
It's really just more about getting one large symbolic move over to Red to convince people that it's overall a nice viable server. It's not that dead. People always make alts. But the low population is precisely the reason we tell people to migrate. Make the zones more populated. There's a massive amount of the server under utilized on a daily basis.
You'll learn how to PvP with time. It can be frustrating, yes, but it's infinitely more practical when it comes to solving issues like variance socking (just kill people), and it's ultimately a more interesting aspect of EQ.
We're trying to build a server around more civil PvP (one side wins, fuck it, Rez their cleric in to CR their guild out). It's not all the vitriol and bullshit the forums might have you think.
It's just a simple end to problems like these that you guys seem to have. A thread 500 replies long suggests to me you want a change anyway. So why not Red? Is a better question. We have other problems, surely, but not these ones. You're the better players? Prove it. Earn your keep. Pretty simple.
