I'm not trying to crap on your poll, but the idea of throwing money at the staff to get a new server has been raised before. The powers that be have made it pretty clear in the past that money is like problem #999 when it comes to reasons why you won't get a new server. And this isn't limited to Red: the same applies to new Blue servers too.

As an aside, especially now with AWS, both servers and bandwidth are relatively cheap. Without knowing it's actual specs, I could probably spin up a clone of the P99 server for less (I'm too lazy to use the AWS cost calculator to guess exactly how much less) than $50 a month.

The bottleneck is the people and all the work they have to do, not the money, so unless you can figure out how to use that money to bribe Rogean in to thinking a new server is a good idea (and, if you believe the rumors, bribe Daybreak too), all the money in the world won't make it happen.

Anyone can improve the wiki! If you are new to the Blue or Green servers, you can improve the wiki to earn a "welcome package" of platinum and/or gear! Send me a forum message for details.
