You must be mistaken! Clear circumvention of the server rules would NEVER be permitted and/or encouraged in the spirit of "competition."

This is true, there may be a ton of coth mages. Especially given how powerful they are in classic. I have even thought about rolling a mage to start and just using it to farm plat and gear until Kunark drops and I can leave it at 55 to be a coth bish.

Blue is going to be a ghost town after green goes live. Nobody will care about Blue before Green recycles, nobody will care after.

This is like when Diablo implemented seasonal ladders in their game, people say they're going to play non-seasonal. But that isn't going to be how it shakes out.

Disagree with the ghost town comment. I think Blue will be a ghost town until like the end of 2019. Once people go through the novel experience of leveling up a character at launch when everyone has nothing, I think many will return to Blue. I'm not saying Green will be a ghost town by any means, but I could see it eventually being pretty close to a 50/50 split of the pop. Once the novelty wears off and people hit 50 and start gearing their alts, Green loses some of it's appeal in my personal opinion. At that point, I'd rather just play on Blue.

Then again, maybe both will have high pops since you can be logged into both servers at once. You can level chars on Blue and Green at the same time, so why not?

The only thing Blue has going for it now is EZ PZ raids now. There is hardly any low or mid game toons around, no reason to do any of the quests or experience any of the under used content. It’s already mostly a ghost town outside of cash camps and raiding. I don’t think that’ll be enough to lure most people back.
