Give Red 10% of your population

Red will never recover unless it is wiped. The server is far too top-heavy at this point for any new players to break in. If you're lucky, you might join with a group of friends to level with or just by chance catch someone leveling their 12th alt to xp with. Otherwise, you'll be playing SoloQuest 90% of the time until you start hitting 50+ where you'll be met by swarms of bored players that have farmed the server for years already, that are looking to entertain themselves at your expense.

Red had it's chance to see a meaningful population boost when TMO came over from blue, and they ruined it by actively griefing their members and their raids. And in the end, the server got what it deserved when the number 1 raiding guild (Empire) pulled out of the server and quit after TMO was already dead.

So pvp happened on a pvp server and you're mad about it.

I dunno about others, but on blue I LFG for 30 seconds on each character and move on, if no groups catch for the 7 alts I just play another game or do housework.

This is the biggest reason I don't play more than I currently do. I'm camped out at EC tunnel and go to all the big leveling areas for lvl 12 and /ooc for group. Got a bite the other night in Ro and got a gold bar but group broke up. After about 5 mins in each so I'll go kill some skeletons to sell bonechips and log. Is there better places for lvl 12 to group?

What class are you? But anyways just start a duo or trio. Do /who all 10-14 start sending out tells to people asking if they want to duo/group. Now head over to Nro/oasis/lavastorm/najena and start killing stuff.

I am interested in starting up on red. Without some other people to group with or items to help solo, I probably wouldn't last long before giving up. It's hard when the pop is sub 100 a lot of the time.

Red was growing nicely, <Red Dawn> was going strong with new players under the leadership of Heartbrand and they decided that a server pop of 250-260 warranted axing what was a different XP bonus at the time down to "blue XP".

That was the beginning of the fallout and numbers dropping under 100. Putting a new one in place was good, plus some GM love and events (if stressful for them).

There's none of that now. Give the players a reason to log in ^^

I think the appetite for "something new" across the whole community has never been higher, whether its pvp teams, discord, green, anything [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

To this day I'll never understand the thought process behind that

So who are the retards again? Red for making these desperate grovelling threads or blue for not wanting to play red? SO CONFUSED!

p.s. Calling people retards is a *great* way to entice people to play with you. It doesn't play directly into the stereotypical toxic PvP mentality or anything. [You must be logged in to view images.

You did get one thing right..these threads are desperate and pathetic!

I don't want blue players to play red and yes these threads aren't becoming of ourselves as red players. showing your retardation by assuming that everyone or implying that myself wants you to come play there


These threads need to stop

I'm not showing anything. I'm not the one making the threads that are all but begging blue players to come play red almost daily. However, we can agree that the threads need to stop.

I get that red needs fresh meat to gank but it's clearly not going to come from blue. Maybe you guys can do a "simulated fresh meat" lotto system where you draw straws and 10 of the 50 people playing on red who draw the short straw have to role a new character and try to level while the other 40 grief/gank/"own" or whatever it is you guys do to each other over there for your jollies that makes nobody want to play with you.
