I know this might be an anathema to everyone who plays on Red, but sometimes in life you can get more done by working with people.

If someone actually setup a "fake classic" (ie. stock eq emulator with limited zones and such) PvP server, built a community (and that doesn't just mean a community of players: it also needs a community of volunteers, because you can't get "no two-boxing" without staff) ...

... and then said to R&N "look, we've got more people than Red, people like what we have, but it's not classic and we want it to be: can you help us?" ... well, maybe I'm crazy and wrong, but I think R&N might just help. They might share their source/database, or they might offer to spin up a new Red and let this server's team manage it. Who knows?
