State of Red 1999

[Colgate]

outlawing cross-server trades was the nail in the coffin

but this has been a repeating theme of red99: server is thriving until a decision by the staff throws us back into the dark ages

we saw it happen many times, for example the several times the exp bonus was nerfed as the population was building up, and within a week the average primetime population would drop by 50-150

cross-server trade removal didn't cause anyone to quit, but it killed off pretty much the only avenue left for recruiting new players to the server, so now the server is slowly bleeding out numbers

Let's be serious. Shut down blue.

No offense but even coming from red if the server lacks one thing it's integrity

There was a lot more cross server trading done for people to level up characters to not grief rather then to make mm and unrest twinks. Even then you're out of that level range within an hour, maybe MM a tad bit longer

Not quite sure what you were trying to say here.

I am all for a PvP server with Players. In your opinion, would cross server trades boost the player base again?

I do not recommend this server, stay far away from it. There is no raid pvp and its currently peaking at 100 people primetime when the top guild isn't raiding. 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.

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.

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

[Sektor]

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.

Everything you said is probably accurate. But one thing that would help your server is for people to stop the trolling and griefing the new blood on your server. Without that new blood, red99 *WILL* die. Myself I have *never* played on red99. But I read the forums. I know everything is not true, I am not that naive. But when you have 15-20 people all saying the same thing, some of it has to be true. Maybe with your guilds influence on red99 you guys could help with the griefing and trolling. Maybe new players could ask empire for assistance to run a griefer out the zone. That's an example of course. Maybe you could come up with something even better. Just a thought!
