Nah Red is just as bad for so many reasons. Some people are just too miserable to be allowed out in real life and most other people stay away from a server that is all but done. Red needs 200+ more steady players at least.

As it stands now, most zones have no one in them and PvP consists of new players getting steam rolled by people who have played since P1999 Red launch. No real skill required, simply press a few keys and let the twink gear do the rest.

That said, BLUE seems like a total waste of time. I can't see rolling a toon on a server that is this messed up.

I've said it before I'll say it again. If Red had a healthy population I'd probly reroll there and play it full time. But imo it needs to have like 500-600 ppl at primetime and no less than like 250 on off-hours. Any less than that and it starts to feel ghost town-y as fuck to me. That plus they need to do something about plugging cuz when I played Red literally 90% or more of the PvP fights I was ever in involved somebody plugging. Need to just code it so a ghost of ur char pops on other side and can be killed or something. I'm guilty of plugging myself sometimes mostly cause I wanted to avoid a long CR run from some shitty fungi twink in CB/MM but it's definitely a bad mechanic for a PvP server to have.

I have also noticed that the login server population #s do not actually reflect the numbers in the game when I do a /who count all. It said earlier that 80 people were on the server but when I logged in 30 seconds later, the population was listed at under 60.

Why is it dead? The gear imbalance between newbs and long term players is so vast that it is pointless for most new players to engage in most pvp. The exp bonus is nice to level with but if something is not done to help new players get gear then levelling to 60 is basically just a great way to ensure your win loss ratio @ 1 win / 60 deaths. Thus the population will continue a long slide to oblivion.

The newbie guild Thunderdome is alright but frankly they do jack all to prevent gankers and flat out ignore numerous warning regarding spies in their guild. I have watched people complain about player X, Y and Z being spies for guilds that gank TD members and nothing gets done for quite some time.

This will only contribute to the steady server decline.

In my opinion pvp servers should be wiped every 3 - 5 years to renew the server population. It is not just about a shitty fungi twink, its the shitty fungi twink who not only ganks a newb group but insists on driving them out of a zone by camping their corpses or the zone in entrance. I have watched this repeatedly and been told by my guild to "avoid" those zones. What a joke. No real help, just cow tailing to the twinks.

It really is the lamest form of PvP going when someone has that much gear and insists on pushing newbies off the server.

You can't wipe a server without letting people know it's going to be wiped ahead of time. At this point red is what it is.

Wow bro - sounds like Red is a blast

What they COULD do is just say they're going 100% hands off on Red server. No staff involvement at all. Let the clusterfuck commence and in a couple months or less the few dozen ppl that still play Red for some reason will quit.

Once Red's down to like 5 ppl peak hours we can safely shut it down and launch something that doesn't suck

I think this might actually revive the place. The rebellion can fight back against the zerg by training hard in nasty zones. Worth a shot, anyway. Whatever is happening now isn't working.

You'd fit in well with Empire.

I'm down with this because it would be funny to see red players suffer.

Zero bosses would ever be killed.
