Why is Red Dead?

Over the last few years i've gained more and more interest in wanting to make a toon on red. So i am basically clueless on red. But this little blip of writing tells me all i need to know, and very clearly too. Well done. Super sad- Cause i really do want to adventure on a PVP server. But it's a huge turn off to know everybody on there is pimped the fuck out with gear, and that geared out toon is tied into a trio of toons you're boxing on. Can't wait to log in to a newb zone to find homey bored waiting destroy me before the giant rat does.

With how little the population is on these servers, is it totally crazy for the player base to come together and say hey.. "This server is totally fucked but we love to pvp, so lets salvage this. On the following date- All players need to either wipe their toons, or start a new level 1, and join one of the 2 or 4 or 6 or whatever- Guilds". Without a GM to wipe the server for you, is red capable of rallying together to do their own "reset"?

Not crazy at all. Try it.

Realistically, I don't know how many players would stay faithful to player-driven restrictions. I imagine that the temptation to go back to Velious twinks & slaughter the players running around in vanilla gear will be too strong for some people.

It's much easier if the server admin makes the call for the players. An official relaunch also markets itself and attracts more players. Sirken should know this (he's still around, right?) since he worked with me on VZTZ.

A "will never be reset" hard line seems like a death knell for this type of server. Makes more sense to set some minimum # of years between resets so players have assurances of stability.
