I feel like there is a pretty big disconnect between what the GMs think the server needs and what the PLAYERS think the server needs. Zade was supposed to be the red player representative but I don't think he represented us at all. For one, he said he would take out global ooc completely. Without OOC i would have never made it this far, that is just a fact and I am sure others can agree. EQ is/was supposed to be a social game. Take away that aspect and you've pretty much killed everquest for some us on this low pop server.

Next time we have one of these red discussions. I think we should have players on the panel so we are accurately represented. The whole time I felt like it was just you guys discussing amungst each other your opinions while we just listened. There were alot of things not even brought up that I felt were important. Blue players have that stupid raid discussion section, red should have the ability to have representives comminicate with staff directly on rules and server direction as well.

Speaking of which, what exactly is red's direction? We are unlike any of the live classic servers and with more custom changes inc I have no idea what we are supposed to be. I also feel like changes are made on the whim with no final goal or destination. Are we supposed to be as close to RZ as possible? Is the PvP server just supposed to be what the players think it should have been? Lately it has seems like its what the staff things it should have been. The XP nerf came out of nowhere. It is like Rogean or whoever looked at red one day and said, naw thats too much. Took it off then moved on to the next project. What the hell was the point?

I really feel (and I hope this doesn't sound too trollish) that this server is heading in the wrong direction if we continue to push changes without consulting the playerbase first, server will be back to double/single digits permanently.
