You're wrong. I saw people go help thwart twinked-out lamers after being alerted to it. For me personally, the global messages were definitely important. If I didn't know something was happening elsewhere, then often I wouldn't have spent the time to participate, because just running around aimlessly looking for PvP can be wasteful. The time efficiency of knowing where to go makes the PvP a lot more accessible

So the mechanic that helped empty the server is now useful since red its a ghost town. I dont think that argument is helping the case youre trying to build.
There are many ways to put in mechanics that foster pvp, whove been suggested over and over (by me) through the years that doesnt involve helping twinks grief people off the server. One of them is events like the ones on live in halloween 2001 where event mobs spawn in different zones. Its harder to code than yellow text im sure, but if we cant have that, no yellow text is better. XP hotzones is another, where as a newb you can prefer a quiet zone away from the dangers of a hotzone. Having a classic Rallos ruleset to re-create the crushbone pvp hub. These are just things off the top of my head. This is why you brainstorm mechanics with the community.
