So new players can start in a new economy where starting a tradeskill themselves is an exciting prospect. On blue why bother? So many are already grandmasters of all tradeskills.

Why bother camping a weapon when you can buy it for cheap in EC. Why bother researching when everyone sells copies of what you need. Why bother grouping when the twinked stuff you bought last week for your new character already made you borderline indestructable.

Why worry about dying when the warrior in the group has a 60 epiced cleric parked at the zone.

Green is about danger and achivement being put back. Blue is great fun but its hard to really work hard when you know there is a much easier way 1 cheap purchase away.

I know some guilds rules state "no shortcuts" etc but its easy to leave a guild and screw it all to advance much quicker. On green its hard mode with no shortcuts.
But then again what's the point? In, what, three years the server will be gobbled up into blue and you will either have to start over again on a new green server with a similar short life span and do that potentially ad infinitum or keep playing your hithero green char on blue where everyone has 5 level 60s with epic and all that.

I personally don't get the appeal of starting over on green as it will eventually just end up on blue but that is just me. Respect for those aching to kill orcs with rusty short swords and only get 25% of their spells while leveling etc [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
