Yeah, the most popular everquest ruleset for over 20 years is clearly the one no one actually wants to play. How do people not see this?

You're right, it's not the most popular obviously, and never has been. Doesn't mean it's not the best though. Bluebies are usually delusional is the problem. They would rather LawyerQuest as grown man children then solve perfectly solvable problems like camp disputes and raid rotations by simply just
competing against other players. PVP servers done right have players
governing themselves, alliances forming, guild politics and betrayal and ultimately guild wars and new rules drawn up by the victors. Blue / Green is just a bunch of middle aged stay-at-home sons squabbling about in game pixels with whistleblowers around every corner trying to catch the slightest rule breaking so they can present the evidence to their middle aged caretaker overlords who are obliged to police & hand-hold this dysfuntional playerbase like the little man children that they are.
EverQuest PVP has historically garnered ~10% of the active playerbase, even on live. 40 or so Live servers back in the day, 4 of them were PVP. Many people are interested in trying PVP, however maybe they are too heavily invested in Blue / Green or want a fresh start, or don't like the particular Red ruleset. Whatever the reason, history would suggest that if a PVP server were to be done correctly from the start, it would attract &
retain 300 - 500 active players, maybe more.
