This guy may be from blue, but he's not wrong. I've stated many times on these forums in the past that one of the key reasons that Red failed is because of the community. I played Rallos Zek back starting in classic, and the reason it worked so well is because of the self-policing community, and to a somewhat lesser extent, item loot.
People on R99 are more prone to attack first and ask questions later. Back on Rallos, guilds that went FFA on all other guilds were looked down upon and kept in check because of the pk/anti-pk dynamic of the players. Sure, you had guilds like Flowers of Happiness and Inimical that'd go out of their way to give everyone a hard time. But PvP just to mess with xp groups and to grief players out of the game was far more rare overall.
People would actively farm sets of no drop gear for their PvP characters as well because of item loot. Being able to throw a fungi on at low levels without having to risk losing it is just stupid. The first fungi I ever owned on Rallos was from some iksar monk that would terrorize misty thicket noobs, so I got a few friends together, we chain blinded him so he couldn't bag his gear, and ganked his ass. R99 will never feel that type of satisfaction with no item loot.

Actually real reason why red fails is there is no REAL red gms. Blue gms come here and think they know whats going on. No offense to blue gms but knowledge is key when it comes to running the server. Not only do you need a red GM on the server but you need a red coding GM as well. Ranger track broken for years (what ranger wants to log in with broken track). What enchanter wants to log in with almost all MR spells not landing? (mind you lvl 8 Chaotic Feedback main key to stopping gates during classic/kunark/velious/luclin. What bard wants to log in with nothin landing? just a selos/pell bitch. Can't even fucking duck cast on red LOL.
That's how they want it so thats how it is. Main focus is on blue
