Server split for blue?

[Grimmly Fireforge]

People are always going to come late to the server, and they will always want a new launch. I don't see how this idea wouldn't just end up being the same situation we have now after a year, with more people clamoring for a third server.

I would only be for this if they wiped Blue completely and started from scratch, preferably with changes that would prevent any account sales/purchases.

No RMTs, no powerlevelling, no boxing, no item link text, no uberguilds, no maps/compass, no FTE rule, no fun.

This is the server we need.

Just try red. Do it.

Blues like to laugh at us and call our server dead, but we're not the ones sitting around waiting for camps and waiting 6 months to get raid loot.

If you want something on red, you take it. It's an all out battle over there and I think more people would like it if they would just give it a shot. We've had several switch over and just completely smack their head and wonder what they were doing with their lives (100+ people sitting on trak spawn, come on guys...how is that fun?)

Now is a good time to start up, we're reaching almost 200 people at peak times.

I think blue laughs more at the recruitment drive, followed shortly after the attitude that comes with the responses.

Red shot itself in the foot in the first week with griefing in low level zones. As I've said before its a cannibalistic server that will never allow itself to thrive. Had an enchanter on there once, no gear at all...casually XP'ing in Unrest when someone's VERY well geared barb rogue alt appears, kills, and corpse camps. I must be a terribad at pvp with my cracked staff and starter robe right? I'm sure the bragging in global OOC was well worth it.

Until then, it's totally unnecessary and it just sounds like a bunch of people wish they were around to get a guise.

I think there should be more GM events where the Guise, Manastones, Box of Abu-Kar, and Thex Daggers were awarded where new players get a shot at these.

Clearly PvP is not for you.

And it's not for everyone, that much is obvious.

PvP is...PvP. You can't complain about the server cannibalizing itself because people are fighting each other.

All I'm saying here is that instead of this hypothetical server split (never going to happen by the way) you DO have other options out there. I think most people just dismiss it out of hand.

The other day I came home from work, killed two dragons and then we had a huge PvP fight against an enemy guild that was attempting to do chardok royals. Finished it off by helping a bunch of low level people in crushbone.

Shits tite and I think a lot of people would like it if they would just try it.

Not everyone is some kind of power-gamer who has the time to sit on Trak for 10 hours.

The majority of people on Blue just want to log on in the evening to non-empty zones and have a reasonable expectation of finding a group quickly, and getting some XP in the 2 hours or so they have available. The fact is, you can't do that on Red 1-49, and you know it.

new players

Different to the other strain of "new players" that beg items off people in the EC tunnel and sell on for big profits I hope.

If you encounter those...tell them "no" if they have their anon tag up (if they can "/anon" they're probably not as new as they're letting on), or say "get Level +1/+2 and its yours". The vast majority react like the man below...

This is the server we deserve.

There needs to be more ppl on this server if anything.
