Blue has always been looked upon as a Beta environment, complete with its non classic stagnant timeline advancement, leveling exploits, non classic plat generation and even item duping (remember the constant DDoS crashes during the summer years back involving this?), rapid fire ranged damage macros and more. The server staff made a promise to never delete people's characters, and they've stuck to it. I can't think of a single reason why they should shove the 'clean' and classic accomplishments of players that play in a genuine environment on to Blue, other than doing so for a majority of player preference.
We'll all find out for sure in a little under 4 years. If I were to put money down on a bet with how this will pan out, I think Blue is going to end up feeling lonely.
