If red had the pop blue did it would be crazy competitive. I still think red has a chance if there is a new server that dumps into it one day (I'm not sure if this is only planned to happen for blue at this point). A few issues with red:

1) Economy sucks...not enough noob gear available. Honestly I don't even know how trading works on that server if you can kill someone and take their coin.

2) The server had item loot to start with...wtf? It was always a sliver of a minority that liked item loot, no matter how vocal they are on these forums. It's an antiquated system that doesn't work for a game like EQ. In other words, this server got off to the wrong start.

3) You can't beat them, you have to join them. I remember Crazycloud smoking PoT geared characters with 200 more AAs then him with his VT geared ranger. I really don't think before this era, however, that is really as viable. Maybe with casters...but not melee.

A new server that dumped into red 1999 eventually might fix these problems.

It would have to be another Red server, though, and they don't have enough of a population as-is to support a second Red server.

i didn't read past this, your post was long

anyway, free tip; there is plenty of noob gear around on r99, its just that the people that tend to have it are pretty rich, and aren't going to bother to find a teleport or do a 20 minute run to a bank so they can sell an item for 100pp.

sit at the NFP bank, look for strong chars, and ask them if they have stuff

you'll usually get shit free or cheap, its a convenience thing

In other words, there isn't any noob gear for sale on red99, but if you meet one of the 100 people that play regularly they might give you shit.

The economy sucks. My post was not that long.
