During the GM meeting you guys tried to test variance....

[lite]

As I recall it when the GM's met up to discuss the future of red, and to reveal teams. One very beautiful thing occurred. Rogean showed a willingness to go ahead and give Variance a shot. He went to immediately turn it on, and everyone cheered and was very excited, as he was going to turn it on immediately in order to see what it would do for the server.

Unfortunately, he then found out that the way things are presently coded, unlike with blue. In red you can't simply toggle Variance on ....

You were so close to bringing this server to life. I know you've probably heard very little to nothing about me. But I am probably the person who has put forward the most effort to bring forward some fun into this server, by continuing to provide people with a route other than zerg and making norrath your only life.

I've spent plenty of time leading for the winning team and the losing team. Mostly the losing one, and we still manage to sneak in what little fun we can. there isn't much of it .....Take it with a grain of salt when I tell you, you were VERY close to doing the best thing you've ever done for the server. Fortunately, it's not too late.

Two years is a long enough test to show you what very clearly does not promote server growth.....

Go through with your original intuition to give something new a try. You are as right now as you were then to want to try something new.

If for some reason we were all wrong, turn it back off.....I think you'll be pleased with the results.

You turn on variance, we promise to provide a healthy server .......

ONLY ONE QUESTION FOR YOU!

You mean the meeting when the server had 210 people online every night and teams99 was announced and the next day the server pop went to 100 a night?

Server is slowly growing again. Why mess with it and risk the same thing happening.

Yeah why would we fix a broken server policy that has kept the server from thriving for 18+ months? Lets just release velious right bro? More content and sweep any problems under the rug for another 18 months so you can get some more chinese farmer time in with the other 60 zombies.

Also don't forget this hilarious gem from Elderan:
