Was really hoping for no merge or at least only characters.
I didn't want green to just feel like a big farming session for blue. It's not the end of the world or anything, it just changes the dynamic for both servers in a disappointing way. I'm not personally invested in legacy items beyond one set of beads and a pre-nerf CoS, and I'm not planning on selling either so their value isn't a big concern to me, but I feel bad for people who put in a ton of work to buy things like fungus staves and manastones when staff have always maintained these items will never drop on blue again; which is no longer true in a round about way. I know 4 years is quite a bit of time, but just blowing off that all that effort doesn't sit well with me, either. I know a lot of "have nots" won't empathize with the "haves" on this one, but I thought it was always kinda cool there was some prestige to having some legacy items, especially guise, from the times past or GM events, even if I didn't have one.
