VZTZ was certainly not more popular than red99. Even when it had 300 or so people it was mostly mutli boxers. I'm sorry but you're just flat out wrong about this.
Anyone complaining about the server being ignored by the staff is an ungrateful moron who is ignorant of eqemu history. In comparison to any other red server that's been up, red99 is by far the most well-coded and well taken care of. Issues that plagued other red servers for their whole existence (pathing, cheat programs, spells file exploits, bard mechanics not functioning at all, various other glaring bugs/exploits/etc.) were fixed on this server from the very beginning because it was based off of blue99 code.
edit: as for raid mobs being exploited, uh, welcome to every red box that's ever existed. Do you really think those 40 pop servers like VZTZ ever killed raid bosses legitimately? I seem to remember a story about a server first VS kill being done by attacking him through a wall to avoid his lifetaps. At least on this server there is some effort to fix the problem and punish exploiters.
