I think a set schedule of 1 year pre-Kunark, 1 year Kunark, 9 months Velious and then merging into Blue would be ideal. That matches the duration of the classic EQ timeline while allowing the pre-Velious era to shine most. When you already have a server perma in Velious (Blue), that's the least desirable era of Green server. p99 thrived when it was in Kunark for 4.5 years (aside from the unfortunate AE farming, but that's fixed now).

People on live were doing Velious content well into Luclin (and beyond). In fact, there were almost no kills of some of the top Velious raid mobs during Velious: on most servers guilds only ever managed to defeat them
after Luclin came out.
Also, I'm sure rotating is a lot of work for the staff, so no need to do that work more frequently than is necessary. To address both issues, I think a fresh server should get at least year and nine months in Velious, and maybe even round that to two years for simplicity.

Ofc, it's not actually worth playing on Green/Blue. Nice to have that museum around to have the classic game code in existence, but what's the point in replaying the same unbalanced and unfinished mechanics over and over. We need a classic-esque server that seeks to improve the game world by being the most sophisticated version possible of the original vision for the game. That should be Red server.
