I don't see the point in keeping both Blue and Green running as they are in perpetuity after the Sleeper is awake. It's an unnecessary split of the playerbase.
Even without a fresh new Green 2.0 I think merging the servers is the best course of action.
What if Green 2.0 started out as post-Velious instead of TLP, and with a modified Sleeper script so it's not a permanent change? So manastones and guises won't exist but on day 1 we can make our iksar monks and necros, we won't be dealing with that horrible hybrid xp penalty and we can move to Velious in our 30s if we wanted. Just a thought to change things up a bit.
I wasn't here for the launch of Green 1.0 but I can imagine people were holding off on making necros and monks and were concentrating on farming items like manastones instead of playing the game as it actually was at Everquest's launch where you didn't know your human monk would be superseded or that manastones would be removed from drop tables.
