So your selling point on red is:

You will level faster (not classic), and due to this faster group leveling (again not classic), you won't PvP at all. You have to avoid certain zones (some of the most iconic dungeons) because twinked PKers and their level 60 healer friends will run you off.

So you're encouraging them to come over, not PvP, just because of faster leveling. Oh and by the way you can't enjoy certain zones leveling up because of neckbeards.

I dunno, on blue stuff generally is localized and drama isn't aired in public channels. On red though, you see all sorts of racial and homophobic slurs in general channels.

It's pretty clear why red population has and always will be terrible. Even with the high end game being the way it is on this server. It's vastly superior to a PvP server with broken exp, item loot, item recharging, OOC and all sorts of other things.

This is a pvp server, right?

1. The red server isn't trying to be a classic emulation server

2. People on blue try to xp as fast as possible - not inviting classes to groups so they can exp 0.3% faster? people buying plvls?

3. I am saying that you can choose to pvp or not usually. The amount of twink PKs is very small and you can avoid them if you want. This is response to the claim that on red you are going to be spending most of your time on a corpse run (even if you get PKed, there is a LNS policy)

4. Not only am I saying that you can XP faster, group lvl faster, and choose to PVP, but all the item camps you are looking for are probably open as well. JBoots? 6-7k on blue99 and 3k on red99. Why? AC is up all the time. The market on red is driven by the buyer and not some RMT camper

5. I would rather pvp for 5 minutes and LNS for another 5 min than wait in line for 5-6 hours and then not even get the camp that I was waiting for because some higher lvl guildie of the original camper decided to cut me in line. Crazy, I know.

6. The red99 population is low because there is a lot of trolling on the forums from 1% of the red99 population. This causes people to think that the entire server is like that, but it really isn't. Sure OOC is very trolly, but you can separate it out in chat and minimize the channel.

7. In my leveling on red, I have found that there is a far larger portion of the population that is willing to help you out and be kind than on blue99. While leveling up right now on blue, a majority of the population is going to be a dick twink. Sorry but it's true.

I was born and raised on a pvp server, so pvp is an integral part of the classic experience for me.

Maybe that's why I have an affinity for solving disputes through pvp rather than lawyering, fraps 100% of the time and treaties that are as long as the Marshall plan after WWII.

Lol, its funny now that the way to entice people to red is to tell them:

1. not classic server.
2. don't have to pvp
3. two weeks to sixty
4. all the gear and camps you want.

Lawyering and negotiation takes far greater skill than PVP and is far more rewarding. I can understand why some of you would be intimidated by it.
