Look I'm not saying make Red Blue. All I'm saying is that is that even on Rallos Zek most guilds formed an alliance to take on the griefers (although as I understand it they maybe went a bit far and prohibited all world PvP). If you don't address griefing, you get Red's population, because no one likes being griefed. You can make all the arguments you want about how I'm wrong and how great being griefed is, but arguing the problem doesn't exist won't fix it or help Red's population.

This guy may be from blue, but he's not wrong. I've stated many times on these forums in the past that one of the key reasons that Red failed is because of the community. I played Rallos Zek back starting in classic, and the reason it worked so well is because of the self-policing community, and to a somewhat lesser extent, item loot.
People on R99 are more prone to attack first and ask questions later. Back on Rallos, guilds that went FFA on all other guilds were looked down upon and kept in check because of the pk/anti-pk dynamic of the players. Sure, you had guilds like Flowers of Happiness and Inimical that'd go out of their way to give everyone a hard time. But PvP just to mess with xp groups and to grief players out of the game was far more rare overall.
People would actively farm sets of no drop gear for their PvP characters as well because of item loot. Being able to throw a fungi on at low levels without having to risk losing it is just stupid. The first fungi I ever owned on Rallos was from some iksar monk that would terrorize misty thicket noobs, so I got a few friends together, we chain blinded him so he couldn't bag his gear, and ganked his ass. R99 will never feel that type of satisfaction with no item loot.
