It would actually work really well with the green recycle type servers. Red99 1.0 had a good population and the server was a joke. It would be much more polished now then it was when it opened. There were a lot of broken mechanics, awful rules like exp loss on pvp death, and corrupt GMs doing stuff for $$.

The worst issue I have seen with recent red99 besides being stale is the play nice policy rules. The amount of /petitions each guild does is a negative, which is also awful on blue I'm sure. That is something that should not be on a red server. The PvP servers are meant to be more of a sandbox, policed by the community and less rules. Training and everything else should be legal outside of exploits/3rd party programs. PvP servers are meant for people that want more of an immersive, competitive or roleplaying experience outside of the core game content.
ok, i'd play a 3-month cycle "one day before Kunark launch" era pvp server
