Green is just going to end up like Blue because that's what happens when you lock a game that wasn't designed to end.

Realistically you need too provide some incentive to get people to move over and ditch the characters people have dumped insane amounts of time and effort into.

Sorry to be the one to inform you but the list feature won't stop items from being perma camped on green, Imagine AC camp on blue but 20x worse and that will be the manastone list on green.

Giving players incentives to play on a server is dumb though, either you want to play it or you don't, enticing players to play green with the sole objective of bringing items back to blue ultimately fucks over both servers. Just opens you up to a ton of platlords seeking to make a fortune on their green items, so Green players have to deal with those shitlords which isn't fair to them, and then 3-4 years from now they get to wreck the Blue economy which isn't fair to Blue.
