This is 'grass is greener' point of view right? In my boredom at work I'll look through posts on both red and blue, and it seems like the raid scene on both servers is a dramafest. In fact, it would be accurate to say the raid scene on any server, in any game with raiding, is usually a dramafest.

However, I do wish you guys on Red luck in getting your numbers up. All you need is a solid approach to cultivating new members and a method for keeping them. One of the things you'll often see long-time EverQuest players mention when explaining what every MMO has lacked since is that sense of community. That's really the biggest issue for Red, it doesn't feel like EverQuest. It looks like it, has the same features, but you almost need to get five buddies to start with you in order to guarantee you'll have a group. I know you guys are petitioning for global ooc, and while it's not classic, it WOULD probably help. Although even then, if lonely guy A is in Greater Faydark and lonely guy B is in Blackburrow, it still won't help them do much besides sympathize with each other's struggles.

I think you should start up a padawan program. New person joins, posts a message on the forums, and a high level takes them under their wing. If said new person is struggling, that high level can lend a hand to get them through the rough spots.

Half bump, half quote.
