From what I have seen people come to blue and offer to sell their red plat for half its value in blue.

The conversion rates these days seem to be approximately 3:1, that is, 3pp blue to 1pp red. For example, 3k blue for 1k red.

Anyway - I'm not the best person to answer these questions but I'll do so based on my observations:

1) Probably. If red had a population similar to that of blue, especially at the high end scene, we would have 3-5 guilds attempting raid targets (at known times, due to lack of variance), with approximately 100-200 people. That's a fucking massive PVP battle, which I'm sure the thought of gives many on red an erection. As for people who think there may already be too many people - depends who you talk to. I'm sure some there think there is already too many. The common theme that I've noticed is that pvp=fun, and more pvp=more fun.

2) I don't think "griefing" is that rampant on the climb up. People are more interested in grouping for the phat xp bonus. You'll have a time where some geared as fuck SK or rogue will try to fuck with your group, and they may succeed in taking out one or two, but power in numbers! Keep an eye on who is in the zone, and avoid solo'ing in popular areas and you really shouldn't have much issue. With that said, it's a pvp server, expect to get dead a few times on your climb up.
