Sufficient enough to make players want to log in, I guess. Does low pop deter people from logging in? I've noticed that many people who start here always ask how the population is, and if it's worth playing.
I'm curious. If pvp on red was turned off tomorrow, would half the blue population migrate to red?

I agree many people look at population to determine if it's worth their while.
I'm not the type to let others make those decisions for me. It doesn't take much time and effort to see for myself. That is one of the reasons I say "fast and easy set up" for the server I play on. Not every server is for every person - See for yourself. It's great we are getting more choices.
If someone is looking for a purely social experience , low population would hamper that experience.
If you enjoy the EC tunnel experience, the PoP servers are not for you.
If you don't like boxers, the current PoP servers are not for you.
Mostly, I just like to play the game. You only need 5 other people with which to form a full group and less if the server allows boxing.
I'm perfectly happy with the population of the server I play on. This isn't a recruitment post. I love Everquest and I love P99. I am not trying to persuade those enjoying P99 to try something else. I'm just suggesting there are other options for those that are looking, and they are not horrible.
I do think Red would become more populated if PvP were turned off. I'm not sure what the usual red population is now, but lets just say 100. There are at least 100 assholes on blue. I've been gone a while, but I had plenty of encounters similar to the recent RnF post "Drumas is a horrible cleric (person)". Once you remove PvP griefing, remove global ooc, and use the ability to ignore... Blue.
