1) YT.
2) Leaderboards.
3) Hybrid XP penalties removed alltogether.
4) HotZones

I cannot emphasize enough on a PvP server with a slower xp rate how much HotZones would promote PvP, and give people incentive to do so and venture into all other zones. On LoZ they had a rotating HotZone script that every 48 hours would update 2 Kunark Zones and 2 Classic Zones with the HotZone bonus. I don't see how you could go wrong with this AT ALL.

I thought the /who all zone feature that listed the players 46+ in it on LoZ was pretty cool, but I'm sure many people be up for that.

But, honestly you could add all of the above and still be stuck with the same limited pool of players that would ever play Red99. You want the pop to improve? Wait 2 months and offer a 1 time only un reversible character copy from Blue99 to Red99, I would be shocked if all those guilds waiting in line for raid content wouldn't consider moving over en masse to this server to try PvP and fight for content. I could be wrong.

I really think it would be a viable solution. Honestly, on live games right now Blizzard and other companies are constantly merging servers and offering people char transfer services for free. Lets face it people, you could change Red99 all you want, but it didn't come until well into Blue 99's lifecycle, the vast majority of potential EQ EMU players have already called that place home and probably would never consider starting over on a new server from scratch.

Blue had like what, 600 people last night? I bet it is a huge clusterfuck in there, allowing char xfers would help solve Red99's pop problem, and the bottleneck that exists on blue when it comes to raids.

Also put a limit on plat and certain items that can be transferred in this and it will be golden.

I am 100% sure many people and full guilds will transfer given this opportunity on the main page.

Also, I would like to add having Velious release at the same time for both servers would help people from playing a certain server just because of content release.
