I strongly suspect most people will try Green. I also strongly suspect that many of the people who do think they're going to stick with Green, but won't, because they'll realize how much better of a game Blue is.

That's interesting. Obviously people have characters they are attached to, but I don't really see how blue is a better game to roll a new character on unless what you value is being able to easily twink a melee class and solo your way to the upper levels. For me, I am looking for a classic experience / nostalgia. Otherwise, there are simply better games to play.
There is really not a ton of changes to the game between start and end of timeline, mostly content. Sure you get 4 more hotbar buttons and a pet window on blue. It's not game changing for most. So really it's all about the itemization / economy / mmo dynamic (having people to play with)
Leveling on blue is made trivial by velious twink gear
Leveling on blue feels empty because you don't loot anything that matters (because you're twinked, even if it's your first char, you'll aquire high level gear gear quickly)
Leveling on blue is often solo, or in 1 area per level range. (if you can even find a group at your level range, there are some dead spots)
Traveling on blue is trivial. So many druids, so much plat. blows my mind to see all the level 10s in my casual guild begging for ports every 30 minutes to go try a new place. We just ran everywhere on live. Ports were a luxury.
Being on blue as a relatively new player surrounded by people that have been there forever.... meh.
As someone who really has just been on blue for the last month, the experience is a bit hollow. Will green be everything people hope it is? Probably not, but hopefully closer. I am looking forward to starting from scratch and slowly building up a character or two at launch. Anticipating then doing Temple of Solusek Ro quests at a point in the timeline when that gear is relevant. Experiencing as many dungeons as i can in a level / gear appropriate group setting.
