Stay far away.

Actually I would disagree somewhat. I am in a guild called Thunderdome on the server and we have some excellent members. I have also met several other players in game who are super helpful and very knowledgeable.

As with most things, often the most toxic people are the most vocal. What this server desperately needs is another 1000 - 2000 players in the overall player base that play at least 3 times a week.

For a free game that should not be too hard to achieve with the right promotion and right vision.

is your reading comprehension lacking? maybe you should of attended those classes instead of raiding on a dead server. My quote clearly says 100 when top guild isnt raiding
no competition and avatar of war still aint dieing
cringe dude go outside

Red would be the best server if it weren't for all the PvP.

Yeah I'm pretty confused on the CSR decision making when it comes to red, so many poor decisions and it's hurt the server. Blue is so over populated I never understood why the csr staff would not allow 1 time server transfers from Blue to Red.

Also the Derubael bannings (Not including myself) screwed over a lot of Red Players and in the end we find out he was dirty.

Blue is definitely NOT overpopulated, sorry. Most zones don't have that many people in them on blue either, it's just that the majority just flock to the same damn zones. 20% are in ec, 20% are in tov, 10% in kc, 10% in seb, and the rest spread out. Outside the aforementioned zones (in primetime) probably an average of 3 people per zone. Blue is top heavy, but not overcrowded

Problem is. That 1 person in each zone is permasocking the only mob worth killing in it..

Well it is 6 PM Eastern on Friday February 12th and there is a grand total on 97 people on the server. I have been a member here for a few months and sadly the server population seems to be in steady decline.

So that got me wondering if there are any plans down the road to restart the whole server from scratch with a heavy promotion push. The reason I bring this up is because of other games that have done this. Shadowbane used to wipe some of their servers every couple of years to allow new players a chance to jump in on a level playing field. Those servers became the most populated servers because it did allow new players a chance to compete.

As it stands right now, basically this server is in decline and I see no way that it will rebound in its current state. With twinks relentlessly pking new players in lowbie gear, over and over, it makes playing for a lot of new people, pointless.

Red 99 is awesome. Sure, lots of the lower lvl zones are empty but velious/OOT and other popular zones aren't always empty. Personally I like playing on a server that isn't overcrowded

Classic PVP with no hacks >>
