The biggest benefit to merging the servers is preventing the player base from becoming too fractured.
Some players will stay on Green 1.0 instead of going over to Green 2.0. Same with Blue players who never went over to Green 1.0.
I honestly don't see P99 surviving if they keep Green and Blue separate servers after releasing Green 2.0. You're going to have 400-500 players on each server at that point on peak hours. Less during off hours.
There will be a percentage of players who are boxing multiple servers simultaneously too. The more servers they have to split their attention, the more likely you are to see semi-AFK campers instead of groups of players.
