What if the next GM event on blue was to PvP flag the entire server for a 4 hour period?? Imagine..
Been begging for this. Give like a 24hr purge followed by exp bonus just to rattle the cage and give everyone a treat at the same time pre-velious.

Make it 4 lvl range, or even make 60 fight 60 only and 59-0 4 level range. Just to keep the playing field super level.

Worst case scenario people afraid to try it realize they like it. Best case people realize they prefer non pvp and get exp bonus once it's over.

I'd support this 100% if it happened

It started with 70 Good Guys in KC. Good Guys had the position/ numbers advantage, along with every one of their 60 alts camped out fully buffed and ready to go. Their casters are on the superblock, and it's a nearly untouchable rez station.

60 Empire zone in. They move to the right moat. They clear out the right CY from where people swim to Verix, and move the entire raid into LCY and up onto the walls. VS is up, so it threatens Good Guys' ability to fight their fight. They're forced to move forward and charge Empire, while still trying to retain the superblock rez station.

The battle ensues for 2 hours, with both sides taking control of the zone back and forth all night long. It's unclear who will seize control and ultimately win the encounter. Trains are coming from both guilds. The trains instantly go haywire when healers heal people who have agro on them. It's mayhem, and the only true and best determinant for who gets what raid mob.

130 people (probably 300 unique toons altogether) fighting for 2 hours straight in KC and DL. Empire eventually takes control, buffs, and takes VS.

Terrible time to fight - 12AM to 2AM PST, but it was an excellent representation of what Red is supposed to be/ what most of us hope to retain/ foster in the future.

Come on over. Be good pals.

Now that TMO is crumbling on blue, you can all roll over here under the TMO tag. They've recently absorbed 2 other guilds. You can also join Empire later on if you desire. I love you.

It was a really great fight, felt just like the first one we did at KC when you guys formed that got desynced, but how it should have been. Just wish both sides had a few faces that couldn't make it.

many more to come tho!

Thinking about starting up on Red. As a poor level 1 am I going to get murdered at every corner while exp'ing? Will it be worth it to play on Red if I cant find a group?

The red-curious crowd need to slide on over to red and step out of their comfort zone - good things await.
More people would be interested if the raid scene wasn't so one sided.

What honestly needs to be done is completely wipe both servers. Then do a red server for 2 yrs, wipe, blue server 2 yrs, wipe, red server 2 yrs, wipe. Way too many high end items on the servers no rarity in anything.

Vztz was amazing with it being wiped every couple years. Terrible population there, but would be extraordinary here with epic populations.

If people know of an upcoming wipe they won't play. It killed my last live server (Trakanon [1]), the community wasn't dead until SOE confirmed the rumors that they "might" movelog it into Tunare [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The last week or two were a very very empty server. Same might be said for the final 6 months of a 2 year cycle server.
