I don't think that this is a good idea right now. You will just divide the population of blue and a similar raiding situation would easily arise on blue2. I would rather play on our one amazing server than have two mediocre ones. Just my two cp.

This has to have been considered by SOE when they were contemplating adding new servers. What's so amazing about this experiment (p99 that is) is the population is over 1000 during primetime in the summer. Wait till people come back from summertime. It's pretty incredible considering there isn't a single 2 box on the server ::coughs::.
I would love to see a chart of how the population has ebbed and flowed throughout it's lifetime. But, one would have to guess that EQNext's popularity has had a very positive impact on this servers health. If there ever was a time to consider releasing a new Blue server. It would be now.
Why would either server be mediocre? If you are looking to recapture the experience you had playing EQ over a decade ago, there is nothing better than this. It is an absolutely beautiful thing. Many people are enjoying leveling up now. However, they are being burdened with a lot of negativity that players never had to face all those years ago. End game/Raiding could be obtained by anyone who was willing to put in the time. Now, people are being told don't bother.. it's not worth working towards. A little sad if you ask me.
Run said it best. The journey is what it's all about. However, making it to 50 or 60 always had a purpose. Velious spread the endgame out considerably. Which was great! However, the way the game has bottlenecked and the amount of players at max level Velious is going to end up being more of the same.
