Blue and red together wouldn't work from a design perspective simply because reds want freedom from blue rules and blues want freedom from red anarchy. If enough people want (no-rules) red it's worth running a server; you just have to figure out how to balance a demand for new players with the demand for the ability to grief them off the server.

"Red Anarchy." There is no balance. I tried sullon zek when it was first released. Got an iksar sk up to level 35 before my friend (iksar shaman) got sick of it. If you dont have friends going in, it really sucks balls.
Before i got a friend to play the game, i was expert at providing warm bodies for a half elf bard that sat on the dark elf noob spawn twisting speed metal in my face. The corpse pile was so dense my computer would stall trying to render the corpses. Got a hard lesson in hidecorpse usage. Sucks that all the corpses were mine.
By the time i got a new character to replace the old canon fodder, i got the zone gank lesson from a dwarf rogue assassinating everyone that exited neriak and the guards... oh he had a high elf friend (wizard) that sat on top of the pillars and nuked the shit out if everyone the rogue couldnt one shot. If it drew high level evils (evac). Getting out of noobville was bullshit.
So to the douche that flamed me for my previous comment. Yes, i have experience. No, its not fictitious. Red sucks balls. Because of how the people that play on it shit on each other, not the concept.
