The real question is, why don't more people want to come to Red vs Blue? Go back to '99/'00. The same issue arose here. There were only what 2 or 3 pvp servers compared to 15 or so blue servers? This tells you that the average person would prefer to play EQ PVE vs EQ PVP.

It's not really the dev's fault here the population is as low as it is. Sure, the fact Red 99 does not see as much attention as blue, hurts the population but it's not the real issue.

Like I said earlier, for the server to not fail it needs to create more players, it's not doing that now. There are things you can do to help, mainly just helping out any new players you see. If they have a pleasant experience they will tell others about it (word of mouth travels fast).
spoken like a boss, i like it
