Guys, a REAL classic red server still hasn't been tried. If Rog/Bog would only swallow their pride and listen to the dozen zek obsessives here on the forums about how to make a PvP ruleset, then THIS TIME the server would be a massive success. Promise!

(Please ignore the fact that PvP EQ has never been popular and always devolves into nothing but grieferquest.)

Lol no, it didn't. 200 people at peak 6 months after release is dying.

Red was a victim to meddling. It got to about 300 nightly which doesnt sound like much but it was enough that the staff decided to turn off the XP bonus, which crashed the pop back to 70-80. That was around the time <Red Dawn> was coming through and working on gear to challenge the big 2.

After a month or so(?) they put the current XP bonus in. People did sort of come back but yeah the momentum was gone. I'd argue it wasn't allowed to thrive.

I'm ready for something new whatever it is.
