This is false; the lead admins directly stated on multiple occasions that they would never do a character wipe. That's probably the driving force as to why Red in particular still exists. P99 (called "Blue" only more recently) was intended from the start to remain available more or less permanently, at least until P99 as a whole eventually shuts down. What was then called the recycle server, now called Green, was the one that was always described as following a temporary and finite timeline. They did wipe the original, actual P99 beta; I know because I was there.
Merge or not I don't much care, but I wouldn't tolerate a wipe. I'm not interested in progression servers. P99 as a whole seems to contain several different sub-communities who want different things. For some reason you appear to feel threatened by a potential merger....if they leave you remain separate, that's fine by me. I enjoyed P99 when it was new with ~100 players and I'd enjoy it today with that many. I enjoyed it when it had 2100+. Doesn't affect me overmuch either-or. However if you can only feel validated by the deletion of my near to 13 years of history, then I'd call that unreasonable.
