Would you ever honestly go to red server?

Can't AFK camp something or AFK med on a PVP server though. It also unclassicly disincentives solo play.

A 15 year old game tends to attract people at points in their life where they either don't have consistent long blocks of time where they can play or where they have to leave or AFK at a moments notice for awhile.

A PvP server isn't fun for those types of people to play on. Pretty simple. That's one of the biggest reasons red's population will always be small.

if you have to afk, it takes 30 seconds to camp or /q, or just zone and plug

there are plenty of people who play solo, not sure what you're talking about

it just forces you to play smarter

This being true doesn't change the fact that the game wasn't designed with pvp in mind. It's just too clunky and imbalanced for me, personally. I enjoyed my time on TZ but it ultimately showed me that I much prefer pve servers.

Most people don't have problems with others on a regular basis, let alone are interested in getting a GM involved. When it happens and someone makes a thread, Red players pounce on it - which is super original - and give the old, "tisk tisk, this one bad experience could have all been avoided on the pvp server!" Starting a brand new character on red after countless hours played, in a game with terrible pvp, on an underpopulated server, just isn't that enticing. It shouldn't be some great insult to red players that not everyone wants to play there, just like not many give it a second thought you don't want to play on blue.

what MMORPG have you ever played that ACTUALLY had "balanced" pvp?

is imbalance the idea of having different role classes who excel in different scenarios?

Pretty much every other game I've played did it better than EQ, whether we're talking 1v1, arena, large-scale fights or all three, but honestly the mechanics of this game bother me more than any 'balance' issues. Glaring flaws like resists having no counters are too off-putting for me. Random LOS when target is clearly visible after lengthy cast time. Game just has zero polish.
