Is this the best time to roll/reroll on blue?

IMO it's the best time to play blue. Great population in all zones. Good access to all content.

tend to agree with this.

Maybe I play not quite peek times but I’ve only seen like 1-2 in BB when trying to lvl my little ranger. Oasis is easier for groups cause somebody’s always killing Crocs. Yes it is a good time to play though.

It's not a bad time to play blue as it's very populated.

As for your predictions of the future.. well.. You may end up like me, wishing I could tell myself many years ago to buy bitcoins for nothing. Except you having dragon loot on the 90000th lvl 60 shaman on a dead server of a dead emu of a dead game isn't quite as depressing as missing out on millions of dollars.

This is as close as you will get to 1999-2001 for sure. I still wish for a few more people at lower levels but this has been out for several years so it’s understandable that most ppl are higher level as there is no massive advertising or big game box on the shelf at bestbuy or circuit city enticing new players to buy this game. It’s a lot more casual as well as your not paying a monthly fee and feel like you have to play as much as possible. Also I’d guess the majority of players are like myself, a bit older with more responsibility’s like house/family unlike 20 years ago lol.

Druid is a good choice as well. Can solo well and a lot of nice buffs and the port spells later on. I have a 17 Druid, my highest char on this game. His name is Renlaan. /friend me an I can help you out! Have fun!

If you don't have any interest in the fleeting newness of green, would this be a good time to roll/reroll on blue?

With much of the toxic blue crowd moving on to green, will blue be a good place for a true casual to slowly savor the classic game with access to what most of the game has to offer as well as how it was probably meant to be played? Or will blue be abandoned?

The toxic will just play both, and if its like red they will just play both at the same time

GREEN99 is your server if your desire is a "true Classic" experience. GREEN will almost certainly be overcrowded but you'll also get to experience the game AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED!

You'll be looting cloth armor and rusty weapons from the skeletons in the newbie area and actually equipping it. You'll be rolling on leather and patchwork in Crushbone and actually equipping it. You'll be rolling on ringmail and bronze in Unrest and actually equipping it, etc etc.

EverQuest is an entirely different gameplay experience when you're not grinding mobs solely for experience points, but also because every bit of coin they drop is a benefit to you and likewise every piece of gear they drop!

Everyone on BLUE99 is incredibly over-geared at this point that you simply cannot achieve a "Classic" experience. Even if you join a guild like <Auld Lang Syne> you will consistently have to go out of your way in order to avoid grouping with players that are extremely twinked.

TLDR: Enjoy the spring and summer. Wait til GREEN99 launches and make your decision then!

Are you assuming someone's hemisphere?

I concede! My sincerest apologies!
