blue server will be deserted after green launch

I don't really understand the desire to play green, honestly. After putting a couple years into procuring pixels in Velious I'm going to start all over again so I can eventually procure pixels in Velious? Mind blowing.

Currently the leveling experience on blue is very trivialized. (Twinks, easy to get rezzes, overinflated economy)

There were also a lot of exploits that were fixed over time that people have already heavily abused. A lot of people would prefer an even playing field and not have some people with multiple chardok ae leveled characters and plat gained from these kinds of methods.

I'm amazed that people are still playing as hardcore as they are on blue. I quit a while raiding back on blue, but am looking forward to playing on green for a different experience.

In addition to all this, P99 never really got a near-classic pre-expansion era. P99 was very rough and glitchy in its early days and it wasn't until after Kunark had been out awhile that P99 began to feel moderately polished. Fans of the pre-expansion period understandably look forward for the chance to do it "right" for the year or so that P99-green should have classic.

There won't even be rezzes at all for some time, if you're under level 40 at the very least you're going to have to accept that you go grind back your lost XP. Even after more people level past 39 you're stuck with only 90% mana res, not clicky. 96% won't even exist until Kunark and people's clerics start hitting 57 or getting epics. The current glut of cleric epics won't be matched for a long time.

And aside from the economy and cheap twink gear, there's not going to be any drive by buffing when people's mana and regen are at a bigger premium and the server isn't topheavy with a ton of max levels. No one to log over to their cleric and HB the group, if HB was even a thing. No drive by PotG, no 50 plat PotG at the WC ring every hour....no PotG at all. Hell, there won't even be C2 until Kunark and ench's start leveling up and turning in the spell lotto scrolls. Who knows what kind of struggle it will be to find ports and even beg for SoW's for the first month or two.

That first year is going to be SLOW for the majority of people. Yes, there will be max levels in a week but its actually a minority of players who are willing to grind until their eyeballs bleed taking speed pills for a week straight.

The entire mana/hp regen issue makes me drawn to necro as a first character but even then I remember that Call of Bones at 34 is annoyingly high level research only and higher level words, and its pretty feels-bad-man.
