I'm just the new guy around here, but all I hearing is a couple things:
1.) I don't like the rules so I'll throw money at it and make it go away. (consensus of myself and some others)
2.) I don't want to lose the current time and effort I have already invested into the game and my character. (consensus of myself and some others)
To me as a newbie to the p99 community, I ask why not join red? (if there was a character move would that motivate you?)
Is it just because you don't like the people who play PvP or that aspect of the game? Well, judging by the votes on this poll it says you can create an entire faction on the Red and make it the ideal game for you and your comrades, and you would have a sizable force to enforce your ideology with all your like minds. Not saying that PvP solves everything but there is an option for that.
Instead of paying lots of money for a NEW server (lots of costs go into that, plus maintenance and upkeep). Why not have a paid system for a character move from Blue to Red or maybe a more expensive option for a Cloned character move? This would generate more revenue for the project while maybe not increasing the already mountain of work I'm sure they are doing already.
Maybe I'm talking out my ass but the whole idea of trying to garner support to change how the current server mechanics are because your unhappy at them (throw money at it) is the same kind of tactics used by most MMO community's. Most companies cater to the complainers and dissatisfied customers, (WoW is a good example) I would hate to see that kind of thing happen here when there is a perfectly decent option of Red....
My few cents.
Sidenote: I kinda see the Red server like how EvE-Online's 0.0 space works. Pal with friends who share your ideology, control a region. Don't want to follow anyone elses rules, kill them, do what you wanted anyways. But of course this works both ways.
TL;DR
Why pay extra money for services already rendered (support them anyways), join red, do what you want with your friends/community. EvE is a neato game. Eat cake.
Always room for cake,
