It occurred to me that the RED server here at P1999 would benefit if it went "Discord" style.
Set it up so the server resets every month. What you'd be getting is a constant PvP competition - every month the top 10 players are announced and the competition begins again. The server population would be much higher, at least for the first half of each month, because everyone would be able to join in and compete every month. There would definitely be WAY more actual PvP happening; that should be what the RED server offers to players and this format could be perfect.
To make it even more playable, we could also code the server so that everyone automatically starts as level 5 and respawns as level 5 (with all of your skill caps auto-maxed up to that level) if they are killed. Each class could start with some equipment and/or spells too - not fully geared, but more than you would start with normally at level 1. This would shave off several hours of tedious setup time for new people coming to the sever, we all know how boring it is to kill newbie yard MOBs at the beginning, and also give killed players some extra incentive to keep going. It could be possible to die and still make the top 10 for the month, if proper alliances form and everyone "at the top" is getting killed.
That would be far, far more exciting than what the current RED server offers.

Starting out on Red99 was a lot of fun, getting ganked on zone ins, avoiding gropus of 2 or 3 until you get your own group and you fight them.
Now newbie zones are sparse and there's no fun in starting up. But a restart every 1-2 months with leaderboards posted would be fantastic. I also like your idea of starting at level 5 instead of 1, or for that matter you could just have PVP start at level 1
