Blue and Green have been tremendous successes, what's next for Project1999 ?

Too many people on blue, why would you want to merge green into it?

Blue usually has about 15-20% less population than Green. Both servers are below my completely made up "healthy population number" of 1200-1300 on any given day. The overcrowding doesn't seem to occur until 1700+ are online at the same time. Again, not a bad thing as the intrinsic value of the game increases across multiple facets.

There's benefits to merging, without a doubt. Blue players are more experienced and knowledgeable based upon time in era alone and this experience resonates. There is so much knowledge on Blue to be shared and it would be a shame to let that wither away and die as it benefits all players. Intuitive players on Green that came from Blue would be wise not to share a lot of knowledge based upon competition alone. Most Blue players won't hesitate to enlighten other players and "share the love", if you will.

What more reason is needed beyond the ability to interact with more people while forming new friendships and potential enemies, or at the least competitors? Dynamics are important and part of the magic of the game.

I'm with you on the population thing. I think it's sad when I hop on blue to make a new alt that I rarely find people to group with, which forced me over to Green so I can actually enjoy grouping and leveling through nostalgic content.

I think the server admins very much cater to the hard-core raiders, and presently these people tend to be the most vitriolic, game-killing group. Elite raiders hate other people, hell they hate the "warm bodies" in their own guilds. It's like if you aren't a jobless, socially awkward shut-in who can devote 10-14hrs a day playing every day then you aren't worthy of pixels.

The one benefit to a new server is that it spreads this autistic raiding proportion out to essentially another opportunity of raiding content, not to mention another opportunity at highly valuable legacy items that most people didn't have a chance to get when Blue first started. More raiding content, if you will, makes it slightly more possible to experience end game content without having to become a souless raider.

I mean, who ever thought Kittens would become a raiding guild? I used to be in that guild back when the vast majority of players were sub level 40, back when they were kind and fun.
