wut? almost everyone I know supports transfers

yeah cause you're in nihilum, the guild i was talking about. way to be obtuse

Only problem I have with transferring is (and the only reason I haven't really committed any time to red) I'm not really sure I'll like it for the long-term. But I think copying one toon over would lower a lot of that risk without losing the accomplishments on blue, and I'm 100% sure it would drastically increase the population over there (especially since people can play on red and blue at the same time).

I couldn't blame Red players for not liking that idea. You'd have entire guild's come over to gank mobs when they got bored.

I just started up an emulated EQ server of my own with modified XP gains. The population was about the same as on Red anyway so I could barely tell the difference.

However, how do REDS feel

Finish item loot and classic resists, wipe

This would boost Red population like none other if enabled. I think most people would be willing to play red if they didnt have to power through the gankfest that is low lvl.

I would transfer a toon there in a second if given the chance.

However, how do REDS feel about this as an option? Wow did not allow this exact thing for many years due to people bitching that it wasnt fair to lvl on pve and transfer to pvp.

I spent 80 levels on a pvp server in WoW.Started before the random dungeon finder days. The pvp aspect slowed down my leveling by, at most 45 minutes. People just arent into ganking as much there. Those that do will just get rolled over by a high level. But the server definitely does not revolve around making sure players have the toughest time traveling and leveling like red. Pvp is balanced, fun and challenging in WoW. It isnt about just camping until the guy corpse camping gets bored and moves onto someone else.

Blue > Red transfer just seems like a bad idea.

It's unfair to the people who have leveled already on red.

You could have a guild like TMO just transfer one set of alts (of which they have many) who are already VP geared simply to grief red's pve and pvp scene.

There's a million different problems that would come with a transfer like that. Not to mention the servers are completely different. A ton of the people who transfer would not like red after being on it for a while.

Implement modified SZ team ruleset of good vs evil, no item loot, fix resists, and then just maybe I'd play on red.

I see what you guys mean. All I was saying was that allowing a copy (not transfer) of one character would increase population. I also mentioned that it might be a good idea to have them copied without gear.

And yes, it would most definitely be unfair to those who have already leveled on red. However, it is also kind of unfair that they leveled on red and have such a low population.

Again, the main thing allowing a copy/transfer would do is increase population. With that would come good and bad. It's up to the red population and ultimately Nilbog et al. to decide what they want for the red server.

I never considered the idea of a copy. That might make me dabble on red with my paladin, even if stripped.
