Merge servers EXCEPT raid zones, which retain red/blue/green shards.. ie. only ex-green characters can zone in to the green instance of ToV.

I like the idea. The only problem is there are quite a few zones that have raid bosses and are mainly for exping. Maybe those get excluded, keep it to the endgame Velious stuff like ToV, Kael, ThurgB, and the Planes?

Instancing is not classic.

Doesn't appear to be the case based of the emulator population tracker

not only should necro's not see their dot damage knowing the exact damage of any DD spell is silly.

when you roll dice in DnD for a fireball or lightning bolt or w/e YOU know the damage but your character doesn't so in a video game it shouldn't show any of that shit.

Servers desiring high population are typically those that want to make money. Guessing volunteer staff are liking the lighter workloads and sipping cocktails, sharing laughs about the crazy days of 2000+ population while saying, "Never again"

You don't need a new server, or a merge. Admins/devs could offer to permanently move a character on your account once, from blue to green or vice versa.

You wouldn't have to even deal with name conflicts if the requirements were:

1. Blue Player creates a Green character with the same login account.
2. Blue Player fills out simple Google Form. "Move [Amazingwarrior] from [Blue] to [Sirtokesalotfourtwenty] on [Green]."
3. Destination character is completely wiped out and overwritten.
4. Original toon is deleted from Blue.
5. No reversals.

A lot of people enjoy seeing more than zero people in XP zones and dungeons. That's enough motivation.
