Every post reeks of "But what about my green pixels?!?!". You claim bias against blue players but you're equally/more biased in keeping your current green pixels/wealth more valuable and scared to death of getting merged into blue where your pixel wealth is devalued a little.
Take it from someone that doesn't actively play either server at the moment and therefore is unbiased as possible. P99 has had 1000-1500 peak players on a daily basis for the last 10+ years. It's not drastically going up or down anytime soon. Any additional server they make just takes numbers away from pre-existing ones. Green players taking a hit to their pixels via blue merge is SIGNIFICANTLY less damaging to the project overall than splitting a limited playerbase 3 (or 4 if u count red) ways. Having 2 servers with ~750 peak count is WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than 3 with ~500. I personally would prefer 1 server with 1000+ but that's just me.

Yup. There's zero negative impact to merging the servers in a year from now. Green will be (and already is really) very mudflated by then. Merge em, start a new Green for everyone to have a fresh start on and the Blue/Green merged server has your other chars there for whenever you want to play them.
If we had like 5k people playing P99 I'd say we could have 3 PvE servers, but the pop just doesn't support it. Even now tons of zones on Green and Blue are ghost towns outside of the typical "EXP highway" dungeons/grouping zones. The population almost can't sustain two servers at all...we're already extremely below the population of classic servers on live. A third server would destroy both Green and Blue...there would be no one to group with, the economies would become extremely stale, etc.
