Red should have a temporary moratorium for PvP to get new players to roll on the server. Turn off PvP for a week or two but leave the XP bonuses in place. Either that or simply permanently disable PvP entirely until level 30. The latter might honestly be better. There's basically zero competitive sub-30 PvP on Red at this point anyway (meaning PvP between relatively equally geared players). Disable low level PvP and you'd at least encourage a steady flow of new players to give Red a try. Even better, you might encourage a guild or two to move over en masse, which is really what the server needs (and it continues to perplex me that no Blue guild has attempted it since TMO given the abysmal state of raiding on Blue). A solid, dedicated core group of 8-10 people could make huge gains on Red relatively quickly even without help from existing Red players.
