Okay, so this is working how I originally thought. So really the only difference between here (if all who wanted to turned in books) and Red99 would be that you couldn't kill blues out of camps.

Is that really where most of the fun is? I definitely see this being entertaining, but I can also see it losing its novelty pretty quickly. I thought the fun/competition/skill is more about actually combating players rather than doing tricks like engaging them when they're fighting mobs or charming their healer and running him out of the room when they're fighting Ghoul Lord.

Contesting over camps is probably the most reason anyone would want to play on a red server. Yes, I would say it is that important, at least its the reason I will play on r99.

I think there will be a huge number of players at first, even more than the blue server for the following reasons:

1. Being able to start from scratch at the beginning. Many people missed out on loot they wanted to get (manastone, guise, rubi, etc) and this gives them a chance to do it.
2. Many people are realizing there is nothing to do in blue EQ aside from poopsock. The game consists of sitting there to get gear, only to use that gear to get more gear. There will be alot more entertainment at the endgame on a red server.
3. People are so fed up with poopsocking and not being able to contest over camps.

Do you think there will be any fewer cheaters on Red99 than there is here? From everything I've been reading cheating is more prevalent on PvP servers than anywhere else. If this server is going to be administered by the same people running Blue99 are you actually expecting different results?

I dont think anybody is expecting "different" results
There is the same amount of cheaters on blue as their are on red imo (maybe even more)

You only notice it more on a pvp server where you actually see or are more involved when someone uses cheats against you on a pvp server
(track/map/bard speed/buffs/scripts etc)
On a blue server you really need to be next to the person to even realize they are using (track/maps/scripts)
bard speed and other noticeable uses arent usually used in view of raids on a blue server.. and never noticed when grinding

Server pop will be dependent on timing of server release. If its anywhere close to Swtor or D3, I highly doubt pop will get over 100 people regularly.

The challenge to level up with regular xp + variables like item/coin loot is also going to decide the population.

Sounds like stop driving Rogean and co nuts so they can get some real work done, kiddies (read: bluebies).

Too lazy to read it all...but you can poopsock on Blue and run around ganking on red..its not 2 boxing..its 2 different servers.

don't bother teaching a blue to re(a)d they just have to try it themselves to understand what PvP is
