Game was a lot more fun in classic when you knew pretty much where everyone would be and at most those zones were 2 away [in small classic zone size] from a druid or wiz port.

like isis would jump you by orc1 in oasis lol

Only the players are to blame here.

Right before velious launch and through early velious, server population was at an all-time high; around 200+.

I went to Red as a pretty big skeptic and had some of the most fun I've had on Everquest.

What happened? What caused the server to fizzle out?

GMs?
YTs?
The Leaderboard?
<Empire> leaving?
Serverwide Chat?

Discuss.

Red is not dead, and a lot of red players still exist, but the rule lawyering, and bullshit of red1999 is dead... As it should be. Come to RoZ, no bs rules, no bs lns(whoever came up with this is a big fucking pussy) , no plugging and trains for dayz. It really is a far better experience.

So who killed red you asked? Management killed red. If you make it, they will cum. RoZ was made, and we came.

Trust me.... If I ever find myself jealous of you, I will literally blow my fucking brains out.

if I ever find myself growing tomatoes for a hobby I will move to San Francisco and start shitting on sidewalks for a hobby. Even that has to be more interesting than your hobby dude.

Daybreak will sue you if you pay for advertisement so no one knows about this great game.

The problem with Red as a new player is that the community is toxic and uninviting.

This is allowed for by management. All the other 'issues' are purely ancillary. Not that they aren't real issues, but bad management is death for any venture, and a toxic community allowed for by management will ALWAYS prevent the community from growing. Period.

This thread is a great example of the community. People sniping at each other and acting like unruly children. Not everyone, but enough people that it doesn't matter. The vocal majority.

Red will never grow so long as these two issues remain.

Again, for clarity:
1. Toxic Community.
2. Owners/GMs/Managers not fixing the Toxicity.

Obviously whoever set all this up no longer cares (if they ever did in the first place). I (and others) would LOVE to play a PvP EQ Classic experience with a good community.
