True he shouldn't be so vocal about that, BUT allot of the staff seems to operate under the misconception that the only available population pool to boost red is from blue. Not True.

Your population pool is Old Rallos/Sullon/VZTZ players. I've reached out to over 100 players from oldschool EQ. They always give me 1 of two reasons for why they don't want to start up.

1. They don't want to play on a 1 guild dominated server that had a 2 year head start. And no real pvper's want to be part of the largest guild, less targets to kill.

2. They heard bad things about the staff, lets face it there was allot of shenanigans that went on and EQ player's talk on guild forums, and not just here.

Just being real with ya, if there was more competition here, me and Murda could pull 100+ players, hell we already brought like 20 people here. Most barely play due to the stale pvp at 50+ scene.

Neither of these things has anything to do with me - if we shut down Nihilum, they would roll Nihilum 2.0. Or am I just supposed to ban every guild member to ensure that... Azrael and Hokuten can compete with each other...?

I mean, what actually happens if we remove Nihilum from the server? Hundreds of people start flooding back to... farm pixels on a PvP box? You're telling me we have a 200 a night box pop, with plenty of room for two guilds, but nobody will come play because there's only one guild? I don't get it.

Aussie loves it on staff - the players would drive him off before the staff would, as is usually the case with our Guides.

This kind of stuff is always being worked on. Right now Velious is, and has been for the last year+, the priority. Once that's finished the sky is the limit. Nilbog is eager to begin work on other things!

WRONG - the #1 reason people don't play on red is cause of the toxic player base, PERIOD.

All of my friends and family that have played on red99, gave that as the reason they quit. Everyone I talk to that previously played on red99, gave that as the reason they quit. And finally, all the players who refuse to play on red99, give that as the reason.

Now, I am somewhat tolerant of personality disorders, but after all my friends quit the server, I took a look around and saw who I was left playing with, and said Adiós myself!

Red99 has had so many major changes and no wipes... how many times can you keep using the same page before you put it in the dishwasher?

Since we don't actually know each other, thanks for helping strengthen my case.

Autism and general meatballery are over represented among reds population.

With that said, if you get made easily and show it you're going to have a bad time.
