Of the 50 people interested in Red 2.0, why don't we make our own?

although EQ EMU is an open project, the code and stuff available from box stock titanium client and via EQ EMU open source stuff is not really adequate to compete with legitimate project 1999 everquest which has taken great pains to restore the "classic" nature of the game.

So while anyone could start up an EQ EMU server with relatively low effort it would not be the same thing as Red 2.0 and one would probably be better served by trying to re-invigorate red 1.0 in that case because we have a good platform here.

Red 1.0 is now quite old and has been flat lined for quite a long time and it makes great sense for p99 staff to have a new red server at some point in the future. Its reasonable to imagine that they will wait until it will have a minimum impact on the green servers progress and success. As green numbers slowly begin to match the numbers of the blue server as green approaches its terminal location (velious, sleeper woke, etc) the chances of red 2.0 increase drastically.

The fact is that we really don't want a red 2.0 when Green is still so fresh. The playerbase is quite limited and we need some bluebie guys to come over and want a fresh everquest server to play on, and might be willing to try PVP since there is no other option for classic everquest.

Even though I've had like 5 years to think about it I still can't decide what class I will make on the big re-roll.
