It's time to sunset Red99 *Please stay on topic*

[wts]

1. The staff does not want to run two PvP servers because Red is already lower population and has more per-capita pissing, moaning and petitionquesting than blue.

2. A defining feature of Project 1999 is character permanence, not ruleset permanence.

3. Rogean has already proposed moving the most populous guild on Red to Blue.

4. The dominant guild on Red has self-selected a Blue state for the Red server.

5. Rogean has resorted to non-classic content tuning to address this guild's actions.

Conclusion: It's time to sunset Red by permanently copying all characters to Blue. The involuntary modification of ruleset is classic as this is what happened on Tallon and Vallon Zek when item loot was removed.

One of the major roadblocks to Teams99 is the awkwardness of merging it eventually with the much-older Red99. It would turn Teams99 into little more than an opportunity to farm manastones, since teams characters would be merged with a server that had a head start of four years of Kunark plus Velious.

The age of the current Red server is closer to the age of the Blue server than it would be to any new server. Since Red has decided to act Blue, let them continue on the Blue server so that a new teams server can have its own history without the threat of being merged into a six-year-old server and having Teams characters rendered obsolete.
