The time has come: Attn Rogean, Sirken and Braknar.

All the shit that made Red a ghost town would just happen again, only worse, if the new server was managed by Rogean too.

So if Rogean launched another box people would exploit naggy/vox, holo would get banned, and people would mindlessly farm 3 years of kunark resulting in who knows how many fungi twinks griefing new players because they had nothing else to do?

Was Rogean good at managing this box? No, but most of the kinks are worked out. Put a real timeline together, and launch a new box I bet it would have 250+ pop. This server can still be a better EQ experience than shitty Zek by Devnoob and Image.

Someone should start a GoFundMe or something similar and see what the R99 community would be really willing to put down for a new box.

Let people like this click the AoN on their 6th alt, run around empty zones for 20 minutes and log off until its raid time.

The PvP community killed the PvP community. I've watched you degenerate fucks for the last two years. I can't blame you though, exploiting all the resources you have available, even questionable exploits and tactics, is the defining nature PvP.

it's dead guys, accept it and/or move on

The resurge was largely because people were willing to give Holocaust 2.0 another run.

That was a huge draw. Holo revival was a big draw, to enemies and allies alike. There are no more draws left. Lite wasn't as big of a draw as Holo 2.0, and that was proven many times over. Vouss is a pvp draw, that doesn't help.

Tune isn't a draw. Nobody cares and it looks exactly like ragnaros said "Ill show gongshow who the real winner is!!!" Cyren type steez.

Cringe. Show us who the winner is.

380% xp in full groups and blue-red transfers were also what started of the resurgence on this server.

Now everyone has 5-6-7-8 level 60 alts because of the 380% xp and anyone interested in coming to red from blue doesn't want to leave their hard work behind, which is understandable.

However, neither of the above facts can save red99 a 2nd time around, as much as it's everyone who continues to play dream that there will be a 2nd resurgence on the server.

Merging red99 into blue99 and then reopening it from classic will provide a great basis of a new server -- that yes as many pointed out above will just eventually turn in to the shit fest red99 turned in to because that seems to be the nature of PvP servers.
The suggested merge let's those players who want to just PvE progress their toons to continue on blue and everyone that wants a classic PvP server gets to come back and kick rocks for awhile.

Look at the ZekPvP server as an example -- a known trashcan cheating server that is pulling 100 players alone because it's offering a classic pvp experience.

Could you imagine a red99 pvp rehash?






This is all theory though because without the involvement of the big boys upstairs we as a community can talk about this as much as we want but it has the same factuality and progression as 4-5 hippy dudes smoking a joint talking about area 51.

Lol damn you nailed that. I agree 100 %

Server has been out for 7 years with only 3 expansions of content. How long was this shit suppose to last?

People blame the players but this server has had almost zero gm interaction since I started playing here. On blue you have a gm on at all times and you still have sissy fights. While on red you dont see a gm for a month.

Normal people quit red because no gms are around and you're left with a cess pool of sick fucks. While on blue if there wasnt a gm for a month there would be the same pop left as here.

Good point.
How long was it supposed to last? = aslong as it did. So let's go round 2!

I don't believe it's the player base either because red99 is split into two categories of play -- (1) your in-game toon, and (2) your forum persona. Most people see the forum persona's of people and relate that to the game. I know I've personally shook my head at people on the forums then played with them in game and they were some of finest gentlemen I've gamed with.

Historically any GM that got involved in Red99 ended up quitting or got corrupted so having a lack of GM assistance probably works out for the best -- plus it's red99, red things happen.
