If you really want to increase the population of Red, do it right. Offer a one-time character transfer from Blue99 to Red99. You can do it with one character, once. Or better yet, give some kind of bonus for entire guilds that wish to switch to Red. Or make it so only entire guilds can transfer. I understand this may lead to an influx of decked-out twinks, but I don't foresee a mass exodus away from Blue. Yes, this may lead to some form of abuse from a few bad apples, but I think it is the only way to get the kind of numbers you want on Red.

When I heard of Project1999, I immediately wanted to go to a PvP server. I played on Tallon-Zek on live, and loved the PvP aspect of the game.

When I got to the server select screen, I was put off by the low population of Red. I thought it would be difficult to enjoy the game on a server that had so few people to interact with.

Since I wanted to start playing EverQuest again, I opted to join Blue only because it had more players.

I see a lot of recruitment ads for Red, which are all well and good, but they don't offer any sort of enticement to join. Start over on a new server? But what about all the time I've invested on my toons on Blue? The months and years of playtime? All the wealth/gear I've accumulated would be for nothing. I don't want to re-roll and start over. I don't want to split my time between different toons on both Red and Blue. I don't want to trade plat on Blue at a terrible ratio for plat on Red. I also think there's a lot of trepidation on starting a new toon on Red: will there be people to group with? Will I be annihilated as soon as I start playing by a twink with a fungi? Those kind of fears are what keep a lot of people from switching.

I want to bring my main from Blue to Red and there's currently no mechanic that allows you to do so.

They even had server transfers back on classic. You could switch one toon, with all of his inventory/bank, from one server over to another. Why isn't that here? Shit I'll even pay $20.00 USD to do so.
