I know there are some roadblocks to merging like character slots and duplicate names but we need a merge. Why fragment a small player base when theyre identical servers in terms of timeline?
And blue is completely dead. Don't even think you can call it an mmo

Nah it's not a roadblock. For duplicate names, if a name exists on Blue you can only have that name on Green if you create the character from literally the same account that the character with said name on Blue is on. The staff already said (as early as Green launch) that they will add an "x" at the end of the Green char's name when the merge occurs. This is exactly what happened on live if you wanted to transfer your character to another server and your name was taken. Super easy.
For character slots, the staff warned people very clearly pre-launch that if you use the same account as you did for your characters on Blue, and you create more characters on Green such that the aggregate would be over 8, then you won't be able to utilize some characters when the merge occurs without deleting some. This was very clearly detailed and stated that there's nothing the staff can do about it (Titanium client issue) and if you don't heed the warning that's your choice. It's not an impediment to merge.
The only impediment is just the staff feeling like they want to use their unpaid free time to put in all the work. Eventually I feel like they will, but whether that's this year or a couple years from now is anybody's guess. I'm inclined to think it's more toward the former since they've recently been putting out patches that fix things much earlier in the timeline than Blue/Green are at currently.
