I see this said a lot, but has this ever been confirmed? I wonder if maybe green will be separate and wholly distinct from blue, even after it runs its course.

This has not been addressed, at all, by the devs, it is all conjecture at this point but there seems to be only four options available:

1) If creating new servers is a big expense, AND the devs want to maintain a true Classic experience option, then most likely Green will roll into Blue when the timeline is complete and Green will then re-open back at the start, rinse and repeat..., or

2) Green could be a one-time deal, and will just end up being a second Blue, or

3) The devs are ok with three servers, and there will be a "dumping ground" server that each new Green server feeds once the timeline is complete; Blue is left untouched, or lastly

4) New Green servers open up every three years or so, and the old Greens remain separate servers left to age and bloat like Blue has ended up doing, but with their own economy and unique issues, the older servers will not be impacted by merges

Creating new servers is a bit of a pain, I am guessing, but merging is too, duplicate names, accounts with more than 8 characters, economy distortions from "green" loot dumping into a "blue" server, etc etc

I think that #1 is the most likely choice, for many reasons... but again, this was not addressed in the announcement
