Among other things, yes. I think blue server is currently an overcrowded train wreck due to a 90% level 60 population (and their alts with alts) which itself is a result of a stagnant Kunark timeline. Adding additional guilds worth of more maxed level raiders to blue isn't going to help anything. A minor concern next to a potentially healthy new community getting sent back to this dysfunctional server.

I played a lot of PoE before switching over to p99, and this new p99 system feels a lot like the season system in PoE.
In a way, the system sounds really great but there are definitely some concerns in my opinion. First off, you basically will seperate the casuals from the hardcores, the casuals will not want to go through with all the level grinding all over again and starting at 0, while the hardcores relish the opportunity. This means that the casuals will finally have a chance at raiding because most of the big guilds that dominate the raid scene will be over on the re99 rather than blue99.
The issue here is that when the recycle happens, we will be back to poopsock crazyness of big name guilds muscling their way in with playtime and dominating the scene again. So what happens then? another re99 server immediately after the last one? the merging and dissolution of the player base (granted we are talking every 3 years) seems like potential headache. but its friggen 3 years after, who knows what will happen. A fresh server is good regardless so we should just go with it.
the worst case scenario in my book, and what i think is the most likely to happen, is that the people who want more pixels are going to poopsock both servers. we are talking being logged into both servers at once making sure that your guild is dominating the rotation/getting as many pixels as possible on both servers. Would the recycle server actually open up trak/etc... for the casuals on blue? i don't know, i doubt it....considering how hard the poopsocking is right now i highly doubt big guilds are going to just stop doing it on blue99 once they role re99.
