People really like that idea. The staff floated it during one sirken stream and seemed to have walked it back hard since, probably surmising (correctly, imo) that such a move would turn blue 99 into a ghost town until the re-merge.

My idea is to release Luclin on the current blue, and then let those who really aren't attached to progressing their characters and raiding, to do a more classic time-line.

Luclin would likely sap all the hardcore raiders (or most) from the classic velious capped blue -- allowing a more classic atmosphere on that server. At the same time, raiders are going to want new content and will prob go for it despite all the "Cats on the Moon" bitching.

Now I know people are going to argue that some guild will dominate both servers...that simply doesn't happen. Once people pick a server they have very little motivation to stay hardcore on both. Maybe a few will play casually on one and more hardcore on the other, but things post velious are so time consuming that I doubt even that will happen much.
