The main reason people don't play is the low population. It's always been that problem. If it had a pop of 800 it would probably retain more players.

That's where red recruitment comes in, to get it back up to 300 and then beyond.

Lets not mention the 3 people I did run into while playing there. 1 was a high level druid that tried to lure me in with buffs only to port my lvl 12 troll sk to north karana to get it killed by the npc treehugers.

Or the wizard in oasis that sat there invis until i was below 40% from mobs to nuke and run away.

Or the twinked out red con SK with fungi and the works that would pop in upperguk and kill me then log out.

The low population that does play there is not very inviting for new players either. It became quite clear these 'join red' threads were made by people that just want more ungeared noobs to farm their KDA up.

Red's a lost cause. Only people like Swish are left there.

The problem with red has always been the community.

Not everyone you encounter is like those on the forums. But we'll imagine everyone in the blue raid scene all play happy families if you like [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
