The problem with Red as a new player is that the community is toxic and uninviting.
This is allowed for by management. All the other 'issues' are purely ancillary. Not that they aren't real issues, but bad management is death for any venture, and a toxic community allowed for by management will ALWAYS prevent the community from growing. Period.
This thread is a great example of the community. People sniping at each other and acting like unruly children. Not everyone, but enough people that it doesn't matter. The vocal majority.
Red will never grow so long as these two issues remain.
Again, for clarity:
1. Toxic Community.
2. Owners/GMs/Managers not fixing the Toxicity.
Obviously whoever set all this up no longer cares (if they ever did in the first place). I (and others) would LOVE to play a PvP EQ Classic experience with a good community.
