Analysis of new server, economics

[schnickusaurus]

Here are some arguments of what will likely happen when/if new server is released:

Will it merge eventually with blue? Yes they have said. Sleeper is a problem then. Could be dealt with somehow I guess. But its still a technical problem perhaps affecting the timing of merge.

A new green (assuming future merge) would most likely mean:

blue population decreases between 51-99%
The gold (lockets,manastones,fungus staff,etc) is at green so gold diggers move there. Most people are greedy, therefore minimum 51+% move.
Move with the crowd mentality in addition to probably the strongest 'EQ is dead without the people'-argument further increases the % up to close 100% however below 100% because:
Some people are not greedy, and prefer open content so these will then stay since above arguments do not apply, hence maximum 99% move.

How will this affect markets? Huge volatility, in short run major crash due to sell off, in long run illiquid market , high price spreads although most prices will drop. Biggest hits might be on the wealthy ones holding alot of items, however once the selloff has happened prices should stabilize

The nr 1 losing item: Sceptre of Destruction which could loose as much as 5-7 million plat in value (somehow I like this..[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] /rude Awakened)
The nr 2 losing item: Fungus Staff which could lose half its value over 1million plat
The nr 3 losing item: Locket of Escape since it depends on high server population
The nr 4 losing item: Rod of Anahil. (Who cares)
The nr 5 losing item: Manastone (uber twink item still so could remain high value)

Velious items? No idea, removed ones could remain strong, for awhile at least. Im probably gonna hold on to my velious removed items as its a loooong time until a new velious era will show up.
Velious droppables will crash hard, aaaaall of them, supply will remain same. Buyers are gone. Simple supply and demand here.
