The penalties for being red are already in place and have never changed much since 98. Not allowed into towns or if you do enter a guard zone, your insta killable. So right there reds have lost not only access to every blue town in the game, but also to any safe banking or shopping. A red player cant macro tailor in a shop, or mine safely at minoc.
While it wasnt much of an issue years ago to get reds and blues interacting, that was mainly due to large playerbases. Now its a joke, reds are at a massive disadvantage here, seriously even if it was my main goal in the game to legitimately get enough kills to go red. I doubt I could, simply because you cant find anyone to kill. I'd end up losing my kills before I could get another to replace it. With 50 players average it would still be the same though, its only when you get 150-300+ players that something like this tracking system isnt needed.
