Velious the kiss of death for pvp

[Lime]

So I was initially excited about velious having hopped back on the forums from a forumquest hiatus. Further investigation makes me less optimistic. It is abundantly clear that red has gone from a pvp server on launch to a personal pve server/rmt scheme during Nizzar's reign, to a blue server overflow raid server that currently exists. The poopsocking on blue has gotten so bad that red is a pretty large attraction and much less of a joke server that it used to be.

From a pve standpoint velious will offer raiders all the content they can stand, with years of 5 day a week raid schedules. The arms race of buildup will begin on day one with clean sweeps of velious mobs. Only problem is this arms race is on a 1 guild server with likely no serious pvp competition.

I have talked with many of the old school pvp players and few plan to play with even fewer willing to raid in velious.

I assume we can expect more blue players to migrate in the future as blue poopsocking intensifies, and people that actually enjoy pvp being unwilling to put in the recruiting and raiding needed to actually compete with the raid zerg that will steamroll everything with double to tripple the numbers the content was designed for.

Someone tell me I'm wrong, because I really hope that pvp brawls will happen on a scale that would make the server exciting, but I doubt there is enough people left on the server to contest the 125-200 man zerg that is going to happen on day one.
