I've heard a lot of things mentioned in the past, but just because something gets mentioned doesn't make it so. A new server would be awesome if it is truly on the table, I just have some doubts about the feasibility of them having the resources to support 3 servers. And there's the question of if a completely new server would have a sustainable player base, assuming a large chunk of the current blue population remains on blue. If given a choice to remain and get "phat lewtz" in Velious with any of their 5 60 alts, or start from scratch, I have a feeling a good number would choose to remain and collect shiny pixels for each of their 5 60 alts.
OTOH if the only choices were to start over or quit, I think that would increase the population of the new server significantly to a more sustainable level. And these would be people who enjoy the entire game, from the low level grind all the way up, which is the type of player I remember most from the classic days. The hardcore end-gamers still had a presence obviously, but nothing like on this server. Just look at the ridiculous raiding rules that have been implemented to alleviate the end-game issues on blue and that tells you all you really need to know. It's nothing like classic at all.
