It's much better than PvE. There's little reason to play strictly PvE as it exists in EQ anymore. Brainless farming, no extra danger or mystery left, nobody roleplays. What's the point.

This pretty much. It's not a PVP game though so it is to be expected.

Red was once upon a time more popular. Several hundred was the peak IIRC.

Electric Wizard - Return Trip

I hope this fuckin' world fuckin' burns away
And I'd kill you all if I had my way
But I'll live forever, questions curse me why
Oh Lord above, why won't you let me die

Yeah 250-300ish back when they let you cross server trade platinum.

Those were the days of the guild Fresh!

Maybe he meant it was "more popular [than it is right now]"

As far as the end of red, I think both the forums & cross server trading ban was the nails in the coffin

Glad we have set the precedent of no cross server trading for green though.

I agree, the cross server trading ban definitely help reduce the amount of bluies that wanted to taste the Red server but not start from scratch. In my humble opinion that wasnt really the nail in the coffin.

It was Velious!

the expansion and difficulty of the content combined with the climate of the server resulted in all nails in said coffin. Velious sparked the beginning of the ultimate zerg force with little to no respect for the server. IMO they like to play the persona of being server liberators because the guild Nihlium during classic and kunark was filled with douchbaggery and conspiracy. Empire is an evolution of guilds that wanted to end Nihlium and in doing so they indirectly threw off the balance that competition brings to the table.

One large ass raiding guild with virtually no competition in a server that has to much content. So while they are raiding, there is no one to keep the level 1 twink aspergery kinda kids in check who scare off all the new people. Another contributer to damaging the server beyond repair is the fact that Empire got so big while having terrible guild structure and when their officer core decided they had enough. They woke the sleeper and left. Leaving a lot of their own guildies puzzled and pissed of. A real guild would evolve and change leadership and not purposely fuck the server just because they "won". Red is dead because of history and climate. Banning cross server trading didnt kill it, it killed its self.
