Economy, spells, etc - thinking about Red

[PatriotPanda]

Giving serious consideration to trying out Red as my primary home. Given the experience boost and apparent lack of players compared to Blue, I'm a little concerned on affording spells / gear / etc.

Can anyone from Red shed some light on that for me? Those xp boosts are huge and attractive, but I fear out-leveling my capacity to support myself.

Thanks in advance,

Panda
