I love how they handled these changes.

- Remove the thing that was slowly increasing the server population, and promise that big changes are coming.

- Continue to tell people for weeks that the big things are VERY SOON.

- A few months pass and no changes happen, or are even announced.

- Server Closed. (This is what I think is happening. Its a pretty BIG THING in my opinion.)

Pretty sure at this point they should just wipe it clean and start over. They want a fresh influx of people? Making everyone start from scratch will erase twinks and promote grouping.

Wiping the server is not a solution, it is pretending the problems will fix themselves. It is also a course of action requested most often by people who no longer play without regard for those who still do.
Red is not filled with terrible people, but it is run on a system that forces people towards anger and bias in a self-perpetuating cycle of hatred.

That cycle can be broken, though, human nature fuels it. The problem is that those with the ability to do it do not possess the will to do so, and those with the will to do so do not have the ability to do it.

shutting down the server would be a shitty move.

i think a wipe would be ok, considering that one post about how early exploits and rmt TOTALLY FUCKED the economy. either that or purple finally(if its done right, otherwise can be failure).

there are some dedicated lifers who only play EQ. lots of people from other EQ servers have moved here after their home was shut down (MAC server, etc). if p99 shuts down, its only a matter of time before another emu is set up. its just simple supply and demand: if you shut down the supply, that does not remove the demand. not to mention that Rogean promised that the server will always be here.. so that would void the server's integrity and even if they started back up, im sure the population would be seriously crippled.

tho i must say, Zade leaving seems like a really bad omen.
