What's the reason

What's the reason why gms won't wipe/ restart red??? Surely the population would rise as it gives new players a chance.

Because I would quit.

because they said they never would wipe, it's a honorable thing to hold your word. i'd say merge current red pop into blue and then just reopen red, no wipe ever took place, all people who slay dragons are still happy they can quest on blue with more pals everyone wins

blue and red should be wiped 4 years of kunark resulted in way too much saturation

Just wish they could restart red so everyone on same level which the pop would probebly rise then put like 1 year bar before vel releases. Just think somthing has to be done before red server is no more

This server can only work with 0 expansions. There's not enough people who would actually play EQ PvP to support more zones. Even if we had the pre velious population of mid 300's at prime time (which is about the best you can hope for on a red server) that's still not enough to support two expansions.

A lot of people here chiming in who didn't even play classic. The majority of people who play MMO's do so to progress their character. Maxing out your character in classic EQ takes only a couple of weeks if you play hardcore, maybe 2 months max if you play more casually [which people playing a EQ EMU usually don't]. Once people hit that ceiling, the vast majority will stop logging in until there's something new to do, which means the pop will drop like it did last time to the low double digits. A wipe makes it "exciting" for 1 week, maybe 2 weeks tops, until it already becomes very top heavy.

Also everyone will be a bard/druid/shaman/wizard.
