I'm not sure why you think it's his job to fix a Red population problem. It's his job (voluntary goal?) to promote the project as a whole. If people would be happier on Blue, it makes sense to tell them as much.

Ugh. Takes to much energy trying to explain the flaws in your argument. Just go back to blue instead of trying to change red. Sounds like you would be happier there.

The no true Scotsman stuff is dumb. I obviously prefer Red or I wouldn't be playing on Red.

Given that there are plenty of people to PVP now, and plenty of pixels to fight over; your counter-arguments don't seem to hold much water.

leaderboards are run by a player. if you dont like it run your own?

We must be arguing about 2 different things since my counter arguments are all in support of that yes there are plenty of people to pvp now and plenty of pixels to fight over. And also that if you want to move the server backwards by removing YT and LBs.. You're dumb.

Haven't checked LB since Elderan first hosted it. A 3rd party created source of data analytics which requires a character to be online to collect? Lol, might as well create your own spreadsheet w random numbers, it's just as reliable.

This.

The culture of red was much more willing to fight and die pre-yt and lb. We all thought it would encourage but it's done the opposite.

Quite the social experiment.

Let me clarify,

Even if we adopt your assumption that YT was useful for stimulating the population, it doesn't necessarily follow that it remains useful now.

You argued that it made the world feel less empty; now that the world is actually less empty this isn't necessary.

You argued that incentivized PVP was important to keep people playing; there's still uncompleted content on Red and farming Velious BiS takes a long long time for the average player.

You argued that there was no reason to PVP other than YT; there are many pixels to fight over now.

Even given your assumption (for which the evidence is anecdotal at best), the population on Red is big enough now that it would be better to address the community issues.

Would you guys enjoy the leaderboard more if we included a periodical like the Red99 Faggot Gazette to take shots at people, with clever images?

Most of those points were brought up by others. But thanks for the summary.

Point is there are many reasons peoples are going to log on. There is a decent percentage of the population I would think logs in for pvp. If I'm not logging in for a raid, I'm logging in for pvp and there is a decent chunk of people I know operate the same. YT incentives that PvP. Hell I was even talking with a pal the other day how the points system on the LB incentived it even more. It gave a reason to log in.

For those who think YT just increases plugging.. Are you going to tell me your all the sudden not going to plug from pvp because you won't have a YT go off when you die? Gtfo cause that's a lie. There was plugging pre YT and shit pre YT you would be shamed even harder because people would make entire threads about you dying.
