I've been playing off and on for nearly 3 years now and wouldn't mind much about a server wipe. However, I completely understand why lots of people would be vehemently against it. I agree its just not an option without pissing off a lot of people.
The only action I could at all see is either:
1) a 3rd fresh blue be made and be given the up-front warning of this server could be reset in the future depending on say a player vote (while blue1 will forever remain untouched).
2) red be changed into blue2 and given the same warning that hey this is a server we'll use for resets and fresh starts every now and then or what have you.
While I'm not absurdly rich and stomping around in VP, I do get bored and throw fungi's/etc on some twinks to muck around. But I'd gladly give it up just to do the whole lowbie rush again and seeing the zones bursting with fresh toons striving to survive. Hell, I'd do it even if you told me the server would get wiped yearly. Its just a great game to play around and try new stuff and meet people who love the same 13 year old game.
Anywho, that's my single opinion for what its worth.
edit: Sorry to you folks who enjoy red, but if we're being honest a reroll blue server would pull off a higher stable pop than red. Yeah it'd take away from blue in the process but it certainly wouldn't ruin it.
