Why Red has such a low pop

[Rec]

New players can handle getting ganked, they just can't handle being ganked constantly. On Sullon Zek there was an ebb and flow to the people who showed up to kill leveling areas. Zones had it's own defenders against solo'ers, groups showed up to chase out any real greater coordination. The population of the server didn't start to die till they added the pop books and that ebb and flow went right out the window.
