Should there really be a red 2.0? The age old question

[Bardp1999]

I would play Red 2.0 but would likely be griefed off the server like the other 90% of the population would be.

Yes, we absolutely need a red 2.0.

I don't care too much. People on red could just roll a new account and force themselves to not use any gear from another account. They might have already tried that though, or its hard to mentally do. I think it would be cool to have a new red server, I might still have more current time on this red server though. It might attract more people. Plus, if there is a new server, its another server I can be a hermit and crawl in a corner and build a spider web. (Non-pk.)

How exactly do you think you'd be griefed off the server?

I'm a casual scrub so, here's how it goes down:

step 1: get outleveled

step 2: get farmed by higher levels assisting lower levels (don't say this won't happen, it was constant when I was playing on Sullon Zek. I remember the number 1 ranked neutral player on the leaderboards was a level 30-something druid who rolled with a gank squad that would incapacitate high and mid levels so he could kill them)

step 3: get farmed more

step 4: get farmed more

step 5: bail

Server needs to have time locked level caps so we can really get value out of early level content. Release weekend cap at 5, first week 11, fortnight 17, etc with 39 being the cap after 6 months.

That's a bit too slow, but yes I think it's good to have a leveling speed limit, especially new servers. It's actually realistic to Classic EQ too, considering the amount of server downtime during those first couple months.

That's not going to be the experience on a current Red server with a proper ruleset. Sullon Zek did not have level limits for PvP. It did not have a LnS policy.

They put it back a good while in after population numbers had crashed.

There were a lot of actions from staff that could have been done better, or simply shouldn't have happened.

When you have 2 competing guilds on the server, and one of them has a name that is perceived as racist, why not change that guilds name instead of disbanding the guild?

When population is at an all time low, is it the time to apply an unseen form of censorship to global ooc, instead of addressing severe infractions?

Sirken doing back to back GM events and awarding the same player in each event was solid also.

In a way its amazing that some players did stick around as long as they did.

On the other hand, some players, an extreme minority, fucked up the server as much as they could and kept getting away with it. One of these nerds would pull quest mobs under the world, and you'd need to get lucky for a GM to reset the mob within a few days. Boxing was also rampant with these players.

Sad stuff.
