I've only played a bit on red and it isn't bad. Lvl 19 cleric. Took me maybe 2 hrs to solo to lvl 5 and then maybe 6 hours to group to lvl 19 (this time is including downtime for deaths, and people including myself running back to town to get spells and train skills). I've gotten pked twice in that time by twinks rushing our group when we had multiple mobs in camp. It was not aggravating, just slightly annoying.
Getting a group on red is actually much easier than on blue even with the low server pop. Global ooc makes it much easier and the fact that with each addition to your group you get so much more exp people don't really care that much about group make up. So pretty much any group will take you as long as you are within level range to get exp.
I still enjoy blue more as I never liked pvp on EQ cuz it was never balanced for it. Red to me is simply blue on easy mode, and that is not a bad thing.
