I'll respond to each point directly, in the most poignant way possible to save everyone's time.
This is simply not true. Multiple factors would need to occur beyond the passing of 12 more years, to reach the mudflation state that blue is in now.
Here are a few:
- Rampant RMT
- AOE Chardok groups and AOE limit being removed on green that existed on blue for 12 + years.
- Account Trading
- Mechanic Abuse that was never available on green that did exist or still exists on blue
- A Raid scene under multiple previous GMs that was not impartial
Outside of the technical limitations of names colliding, or 8 character limits for people who used the same account their blue characters are on and now have a total amount of characters (Blue and Green combined) that can't be supported by the client once merged, the ecosystems/raid scenes/and atmosphere on green would be completely bashed by blue.
I also still see no good justification for explaining why the larger portion of the population who enjoy green and what if offers, should be subjected to rejoining blue's minority population.
Blue players are free to make a Green toon anytime without a detriment to their blue characters, economy, etc.
Whereas your solution, and forcing green to merge into blue, would effectively destroy the economy, the mechanics, and the environment that is offered by green, giving a one way only change that most green players will return to.
I hear you, the population is split, it's a problem. But your solution of maintaining status quo I humbly believe undermines a larger faction of players on p99.
Green is ending, and yet, more people still choose to play on Green rather than play on Blue. Why do you think that is?
Additionally - this isn't just about pixels, pixels are a byproduct of atmosphere, which I believe based on the clean history Green has, is superior to blue in basically everyway, from raid scene, to leveling scene/population spread, etc.
Merging Green into Blue is not the best idea in the room nor the best solution, and its many arguments are frankly lacking in justification.
