Green is a TLP style server that will merge to blue and be reset at the vanilla era after Velious is over. Its full of WoW/TLP style gimmicks like achievement announcements and old nerfed/removed loot still dropping for a period of time. Its population has a lot of no-chill edgelord gamer tryhards and about 75% of green players overalll are brand new to P99 or even EQ itself with green's launch.
Blue is what you probably remember, top heavy and full of items and plat. A bit overwhelming to get started from nothing, but with tons of high quality gear for relatively little plat once you get going. There's far more raid targets and an overall better variety of raid guild options. The chances of getting even the hardest epics are MUCH MUCH higher on blue than on green where they will be contested far more viciously.
The biggest issue with blue is that there is virtually no pick up group XP/leveling going on prior to around level 40, comparatively to green, and less overall prior to 50, and 50+ everyone just goes to the Hole now so you can't even find fun KC groups very easily and Seb is now a ghost town for an LFG experience. If you just like popping into the hot leveling zone, saying /ooc LFG and joining up with randoms, green is the place and you'll find far fewer asshats now that the edge cases are focused more on end game and PL'ing alts. However Kunark green will be a shitshow and getting groups and camps might be annoying for a few months. If you like soloing then blue will give you many more options to find a camp both now and after Kunark and the pick up group scene is of less concern.
