Exclamation How to fix end game raiding, and P99 in general

Anyone who has leveled to 60 on blue knows that the endgame is a sad, broken mess and the GMs have to basically babysit all the higher end raiding guilds. The green99 pvp teams server will help some to alleviate this, but it won't outright solve any of the issues caused by the guilds on blue with their rules lawyering and poopsocking tendencies. It's gone on for far too long, and the players require an actual solution to the problems brought on by the incessant neckbeards.

So here it is: just merge blue into the red server, and have the green pvp teams server merge into red each time the Sleeper is killed. Everyone knows that pvp is the more fun and classic experience, and it solves the problems bluebie raiders created. No more standing in line for raids, no more petitioning GMs to resolve our stupid disputes, no more FTE nonsense, and no more poopsocking.

Some additional benefits include making the 1-60 trek more fun and interesting, and giving players an incentive to RP in their various ways. Anyone who played on a Zek server back in the day remembers RP, which was something bluebies never had a chance to experience.

Also would be cool if the green server had a different pvp ruleset each time it reset. Obviously first we'll get some iteration of teams pvp as the devs have already told us it would happen, but maybe it could switch from 3 to 4 teams, or include things like FFA item loot later on. But this isn't necessary. Even if green was the same pvp teams ruleset each time, just simply merging blue into red would solve 99% of the toxicicty issues on blue.

Honestly at this point I would play a fresh PvP server, even briefly just to see what it's like. That would be a lot of fun with a high pop. Just gotta accept that EQ pvp is bad and unbalanced and not take it too seriously.

Finally! Someone posts a way to fix P99 in general. I mean, come on guys (guise?), it's been YEARS and no one has proposed anything like this. FINALLY now maybe that the devs know how to fix P99 in general they'll listen. And, of course, as the OP says, everyone knows EQ PVP is fantastically fun. I mean, just look at the track record around here, it's obvious.

Everyone knows the final solution to P99 is to wipe it clean 2019 (this is the last year that phrase will rhyme)

Merging Blue with Red is a terrible idea. I know the OP is a Red player and wants to see its population grow, however there are better way to achieve that, such as suspending/banning people who troll on the forums/in-game, or maybe changing the NToV mechanics back to the way they were on Red.
