This is one for me. I keep wanting to try red, and as an enchanter I can solo for XP without problems, but then I log in and get immediately spammed in ooc with RNF bullshit. I don't mind a good flamewar but its always the neanderthal 'u mad bro' 'no i killed u' type stuff. Then I log back on to blue and flame Sirken on the forums for not removing variance! Conclusion: happiness comes from within?

I agree at times theres a lot of useless ooc babble of stupid shit that will stem from someone going "soandso down" and then it begins. "ur noob, y u so mad?" "umad" "nou mad" which gets extremely annoying. But this is the reason I separate my chats, ooc, guild, tells are all in separate windows. I have never really had an issue since then. You can turn ooc off all together if you really want, The only issue is when your trying to have a meaningful conversation or talk about something serious and the umad crap is going on in the background.
I don't think red server pop is at a range where ooc should not be game wide. Maybe if it had 350-400 average+ then yes I would say go for it. But at most nights the servers dips down to 30-50 and sometimes all there is to do is talk in ooc to people while farming items/solo exping. Even then its hard to start a convo up or see anything other then auction messages. The way I see it, at peak times P99 Red server is just about at the limit for global ooc. One message from the right key person can spark a full out spam fest and flame war.

You do realize with more population, we would be able to stop recruiting heavily. The reason we recruit so much is because of the turn over rate of new apps. Every month we get 5+ new apps. Next month, we might have 1 of them still playing. The last few raids we have rangers or monks tanking and 4-5 dps classes lol. We have not even finished VP so why would we quit recruiting. If we had say 20-30 people switch over from blue, sure we would get a few apps out of it. We would be able to pick and choose a few key classes that we need though. We wouldn't just take anyone because we wouldn't need them. Increase in pop is increase in pop, however you look at it. What kills pop is the exp loss on pvp. I could careless if I died because I'm max exp on Twainz. My biggest problem is the opposition running and plugging every chance they get. PvP is so boring on this server that I created alts just to PvP. The only time I can get PvP on my main is if I attack a group of players or if I can find someone in the middle of a zone. If we removed the exp loss, I'm sure people would stay in fight. No one wants to PvP for hours just to have to exp for days or weeks to get back.

You are right, Most people would stick and fight it out. Some people who are 55+ and still grinding don't want to lose that exp % especially if they do not have the time to spends hours exping getting it back. Myself I personally don't mind it(but I have yet to hit a point where I get a few % in hours of exping). I rarely run from a fight right now, The only times is really when I am out numbered and know its going to be nothing but a rapefest. Or when im trying to get somewhere and cant be bothered to stop and pvp someone and risk possible death then CR and costing more time for whatever I was doing. This will obviously never change, But if a group of people run up on me 5v1 99% of the time everyone is going to jump in and attack. It would be too much to ask, and most would not even halting a killsquad for a 1v2 or 1v1 instead of 1v5.
