I'm curious. If pvp on red was turned off tomorrow, would half the blue population migrate to red?

If given the same ruleset as current Blue, certainly several guilds would migrate, just for the elbow room, and unaffiliated folks would slowly fill that server too. Over a little time, the servers would even out and eventually I think both servers would actually gain players and each have a greater population than current Blue, because there would just be that much more opportunity available to players.

If given a different ruleset, such as lockouts or rotations, there'd be a mass exodus. Blue would still show a healthy population, with people boxing those accounts, but there'd be far less activity on the competitive server vs the non-competitive server. Diehard hanger-ons would still raid heavily, just like diehard hanger-ons still raid Red, but they'll just turn into a bunch of dinks gibbering about how the real men play on their server and their pixels mean more because they "earned" them, no matter how uncontested their earned pixels were, while everyone else is just happy to be playing an elfsim with their friends and not having to deal with the herpaderp.
