It'll be fun if they release a time accurate server. One of the drawbacks of p99 as it stands is how many lvl 60 toons with best in slot gear exist. On a fresh server the top end wouldn't be so heavy, and raiding would be different at the very least.
You can assume people would be allowed to play both servers at once, and a lot of people would.
Having the "green" server roll into Blue would be a challenge as far as what happens if someone has more than 8 toons on the same account between blue and green? I don't see the addition of top end No Drop raid loot being an issue, since blue already has so much of that. The only thing I could see being a problem would be the trade-able items like Manastone that no longer drop. Since they are so expensive on Blue, I would expect a good number of people to farm them with the intention of holding them until the server rolls over into blue so they can resell. Making these items No Drop would be one way to combat this.
Personally, I would love the chance to see this new server. I started on Live during Kunark and never raided there, and on p99 I started in Kunark as well. I'd love to see Fear/Hate/Sky as level 50 raids, see the one MM raid, etc. I think it would also be interesting to see Kunark/VP/Velious without everyone having best in slot gear. Of course I'd want to try and get a guise too. But I'd take the new server to roll a new class I haven't played before and have some fun. It would probably get stale if they then immediately rolled a second green server after the first ended, but I'm sure there's a way to make it fun.
