I'd argue that if the Red Server was reset right now, it would see higher concurrent numbers then Red 1.0 ever did. The content end with the p99 timeline also ends engagement from many who were playing religiously throughout the progression just for the simple fact that repeating the same content kills the magic that was the classic era.
I have still yet to understand how anyone unemployed or otherwise can truly enjoy playing a server with literally nothing new to experience after literally years locked in era.
I enjoyed Green. Never played Blue. In the last few months I've lost the desire to play on Green just for the simple fact I have less time to play and enjoy competing in the meta that is P99 endgame.
The only thing, in my mind, that would awaken(RiP ST 1.0 I hear) my desire to put time in to p99 again would be a fresh server.
I'm sure some would be sad to lose their characters on Red 1.0, but I'd be willing to bet that even a reset of Red that started in Endgame era would quickly find itself more populated then 1.0 ever was with a duality of people reveling in the fresh start and also those grinding to regain or attain their infamous PvP status on a fresh slate.
New Red! I'd play!
