No one hates Red. I actually gave it a try here recently for about a month because I wanted to see what it was like first hand. After leveling a few different characters, I'm simply offering a perspective on what it was like. It was a different experience, and some things were enjoyable, but there are massive issues that deter most people from continuing to play there.
But I think you just illustrated the biggest issue holding red back.
"Try Red, it's friendly and fun!"
"I did, but here are the issues I found that make it not fun..."
"Go fuck yourself and die. If I ever see you on red I will ruin your fucking life."
Yeah... that'll make people want to play more there. Seriously, the Red community is the biggest thing holding it back. When PVP Server Chat looks like the Rants and Flames forum, you might have to realize there is an issue.

That's kind of cherry picking though, no? I'm certainly not here telling you to go die, just this dude who's berging the hell out over disliking something he likes. I'm not even trying to convince anyone to go play there, I just wanted to point out that the point of view people have of the server is sorely misguided as a whole.
Even if people _did_ join I don't think EQ is a game that's meant to have much more than ~250 people on at once. The reality is that much of the world you completely ignore now because we've all nuked out that there isn't any reason to go there unless a quest provokes you.
