Few of us tried red from blue, nearly full group. I'm really the only one left from the group, but I'm mostly back to blue now. Why?

1) Pvp felt extremely unbalanced, twinks, need I say more

2) Organized pvp was non-existence. Where are guild wars? Where are battles of land/territory or just honor?

For our group, these two were the deal breakers for us to stay. I think if enough effort and cooperation is put into this server, it will thrive and be exciting. We liked the aspect of adventuring to ghost zones (like cazic thule) and xp'ing there because of the xp bonus.

How to fix this? Easier said than done, perhaps I'll try to stab at this beast for a moment and see what happens.

1) Place a resistance cap on each level so a level 20 with 150 MR will not happen. Still favor the twink but not as heavily.

2) Limit guilds to 20 members max. This will allow a more disjointed look to the server and populate server with guilds instead of most everyone on the server in one or two guilds.

--- Let's look at this more closely. Instead of having maybe less than 5 guilds on the server and where 1 or 2 have the majority of players, you will have 20+ guilds and these guilds will join a cause, a faction.

We can design two new factions on the server: Let's say the good guys will be "Freeport Militia" and the bad guys "Dark Brotherhood" (just suggestions). Each guild will align themselves with one of these factions. Once aligned, they will engage the enemy at all cost and fight for their cause.

** These factions will be posted on the forums and each newly formed guild will sign-up. **

Something like this:

Freeport Militia
-------------------
Guild 1
Guild 4
Guild 6

Dark Brotherhood
----------------------
Guild 2
Guild 3
Guild 5

Guilds that don't align themselves to a faction are FFA to both factions.

I know this will be a lot of work to establish and surely there will be lots of questions concerning this, but at this point to save this server, everyone has to put some individual effort. Leaders will need to arise and communicate an effort between guilds to shift into newer and smaller guilds and align themselves to a faction.

Is this idea even possible? I like to come back to red but the current state doesn't appeal to me so I'm proposing this scenario. Again, I understand a lot of effort will be required for something like this to have a chance, but with cooperation I think it's possible.

Comments?

Wipe red, start a new blue server - better use of server resources.

Everyone would jump ship though, old blue would be the new red.

red is fine. pvp will always have a low population in any MMO. nothing you can do to fix that short of taking out the pvp rules. red's pvp rules are already super lax and peeps still won't bite.

If that was the case then why did this server have active pops over 500ppl?

how long did they have that pop? if it wasn't long, then it was probably just novelty.
