I mean to me man the most fun thing about green is leveling up one dude after another to 50, and also being able to do it in what would be considered garbage gear on blue. But a lot of people on blue already have every alt they ever wanted to make at 60 or far into the process, so that's not really appealing to everyone. But eventually you are max level and if you have investment and ties to blue already its a no brainer to play end game there instead.

I also agree that the best part of EQ is actually playing the game (leveling toons and playing in garbage gear.) Really the launch of Green is "progression" as far as classic is concerned - we are all trying to go forward, not backwards.
You're not "wrong" and your answers/explanations are all correct and this -is- RnF so I need to rustle people a little bit.
Using words like "investment" when it comes to a videogame is exactly my point. Its a damn game. People can't "leave their stuff behind" to go play...the same fucking game but -actually- play it from the "beginning" and not with Game Genie. This is serious pixel sickness.
There is unprecented pixel sickness and general nonsense on Green but I foresee an implosion. People are gonna get sick of jumping through flaming hoops and staying up all night just so Phatez can get a Crown of Rile. There won't be enough loot to go around and people underestimate exactly how many nubs who play on Green simply won't be able to get to 60.
Also, on Green there's a lot of "play nice" stuff going on with guilds even when it comes to Sky at this point, so really we don't know what the ~~~~~~~~~~hhhhhhhhhhhhhrAiD sCeNe~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ will look like in Kunark.
The truth is - - - nobody has any fucking idea what will happen in Green Kunark and even the "important people" and "fat cats" are all just speculating. Maybe people will realize that without 5 years of Kunark and 5 years of Velious you won't be "guaranteed" shit and they'll finally stop chasing the carrot.
I never looked at it this way until now but at this point people like Blue because its predictable. People like routine. Sure if you ~~~rAiD~~~ then I can see how its more fun on Blue (its totally fucking stupid but whatever.) People like their shinies they "invested" in and have had for years and nobody is going to take them away and they're not going anywhere.
Anyways, yeah all this shit is still really funny to me lol
