Green actually recycling like it's supposed to would help, but doesn't go nearly far enough to fix the problem of the game being based on bad coding that will continue to push players away as better servers open.

To recapture what classic EQ was supposed to be, there needs to be custom coding and non-static content. Otherwise the game will remain completely figured out and push people to play the game in a non-intended degenerate way, while being full of unacceptable bottlenecks.

I would keep Blue as the perma classic-coding locked-in-Velious server. Green should be a custom coding progression server. 1 year pre-Kunark, 1 year Kunark, 1 year Velious, at which point the server re-boots and the existing characters move to either Blue server or Red server, of the player's choice. Red server wouldn't be a full PvP server, instead just a Velious-locked version of Green server. I'm assuming p99 isn't allowed to open more servers b/c of their legal agreement, and since they are clearly not interested in designing/caretaking a full PvP server, Red should be put to better use.
