The only way to save both Red and Blue is to use Red as the prison/containment server.

Repeat offenders against the Play Nice Policy get sent to Red with little to no chance of returning.

Blue players rejoice at a cleaner, more efficient server
Red gets their lambs to slaughter
Everybody wins.

So Red = Australia?

If you send the lowlifes on blue to red. They wont magically become nice people. They'll continue their trash on red.

PvP was ment to be cutthroat.

If you want gentlemanly duels at dawn to decide who gets to kill/pull/loot Emperor Crushbone, you can do that on blue with the /duel command.

And lets face facts, this is a population issue, back then, PvE servers dominated population, even now I think EQLive only has one PvP server out of like the 10 they have now, not many people loved the idea of getting ganked. Even now on Blue people even hate the chance at dying with a long corpse recovery, now throw in the awkwardness of having a group disrupted by an epic'ed rogue slaughtering mid 20s groups out just because.

Look at the people who hunt in Mistmoore, Karnors, CoM. Easy zones, binds nearby, always people around.

People DO NOT WANT the added stress of wiping or getting killed while exping, because that is not the EverQuest most people remember as they played on blue servers back on live.

Taking little potshots at my typing will not spark interest in Red99.

I do not recommend this server, stay far away from it. There is no raid pvp and its currently peaking at 100 people primetime. The top guild raids with 150 people uncontested and the next thing to competition is lower guilds that cant even field 20. Server is dead and not worth rolling, the community is also very toxic. Stay far away.

Would love to see your rogue or monk logged I and prove us wrong.

Didn't play on red long enough to experience raiding but I did take my monk up to 50. People were friendly & generally nice.
My biggest complaint is that the players I ran into were just generally bad at the game, in both pvp and pve. I'm sure it would have been better if I took the toon all the way to 60 but when you go from a near best in slot blue monk to a monk in cloth again it just isn't enjoyable and I couldn't stick with it.
