Is red server dead?
Haven't seen or heard anything new since the discord troll. There is another server growing daily that seems to have listened to the player base and created a system designed around player input specifically intended to increase pvp activity. The economy is taking a shit and it's pretty obvious that any new blood has dried up.
You killed red to blue transfers because of a few bad apples and now we're headed back to the breadlines. We just rollin with this or does anyone actually give a shit anymore?

Yeah not playin either, I prob will next season when I can go hard and it wipes in 6 months. I'll be one of the lifers here but after playing for 4 years and casually observing trends I gotta say that we're in a freefall. Again.

In short, no, its still fairly active but I noticed the other day only ~25 pvp deaths occured in a whole day.
But in the long run yes its dying, I personally think it's going be 150 pop by the end of this year. At the peak of velly launch pop was 300+ and 7 months later its now its 200-220 at peak. Basically 33% pop reduction. | ||

I want to believe! The alarming thing to me is the drop in new players. Every time red population boomed in the past it was usually accompanied by some sort of incentive to join. Server launch, red dawn, thunderdome, tmo and blue to red transfers, velious could have been way bigger if it wasn't just velious.
What happened to Thunderdomes PR branch? When they were in full swing we saw a lot of gains. It pains me to say this but was Mad the shakes Max really the guy to lead us down the path to a better server? Would have been nice to see him so something with his life, well, what's left of it anyway.

Truth be told, after years of dropping bombs on fresh level 45s I have been experiencing a serious drought. I even had to level my friendly wizard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think banning cross server xfers was a fatal move for blues baby brother.
Gave people the freedom to move around; and savvy blue players a reason to play on red too (farm and xfer that pp back to blue thus bringing blue plays to red). | ||

I mean I never played eq pvp till red99 (2 years ago) and even though I am a shit pvper I'd could never go back to a blue type server.
So letting people get ^ taste is what would have been trickling players in too. It's like an extra layer of addiction. Its great fun. | ||
