Not sure why a "will Green and Blue merge?" topic turned into "why Red is (isn't) a pile of radioactive waste?" topic.
The reason Red is so unpopular today is obvious - it's the gear gap. It has been discussed many times over the last few years. PvP'ing in rags against Velious-geared people who have been playing for years isn't appealing to any sane person. This natural selection of new blood ultimately leads to the high concentration of braindead druggies on the server which, in turn, drives even more sane people away as they are unwilling to interact with toxic fucks on a daily basis, especially considering you need to be part of a raiding guild to get high-end Velious geared.
The solution is: don't have Velious.
Red needs a wipe at this point and restart with no Velious release ever. Red was awesome in Kunark.
Now we can go back to discussing Blue/Green.
