How to save red

[coldslaw]

Most people don't like forced PVP, or any PVP for that matter, and don't want to put up with the constant bullshit. All of the pros you guys keep listing as reason to play on Red are cons to most people:

* It's fun to constantly look over your shoulder. No.
* It's fun to worry about losing any PP you might have on you. No. And no, having to fool with converting it to gems is not fun either.
* It's fun when 90% of the zones are empty. No.
* It's fun having to think about what order your buffs are stacked on. No.
* It's fun having a buffed twink come completely stop your xp group. No.
* It's fun getting a group and XP super fast! Not really, the higher you get the more PVP bullshit you have to deal with.
* It's fun to solo for days in a row because there hardly any other players in your level range, or if there are they aren't close. No.

Now if you had certain zones that were PVP, contested zones with a high reward value for the risk, more people would probably participate. That won't ever happen, so might as well be happy with the 10% that enjoy that for one reason or another. You have to give normal people some reason to do it other than "LOL its fun to be interrupted in what you are doing or interrupt what other people are trying to do" or "You can camp whatever you want because there is hardly anyone here to play with!!"
