I have to (somewhat) agree with this. Harder to invest a lot of time into a character I know I'll abandon once the progression server launches. I'd much rather be spending time on a character I know will be around a while.

So am I understanding this right? There's a temporary progression server and it eventually dumps back into blue? That sounds horrible for blue server health, which isn't all that good as it is. Would so much rather see one progression server that goes on forever with a proper timeline.

Blue is already insane economy :P TONS of money floating around, tons of every item, all people do is camp and have epicced out twinks.

The progression server will take like 3 years till it finally merges with blue. The only thing it will do is maybe have one or two new guilds looking to raid things.

At this point what does it matter if more high level characters are added to the current blue server a few years from now? Would it make a difference at all? I don't really think so.

More players (new and old) would benefit from a healthy new server than would be hurt by an influx of higher level players years from now on the current server. (In my opinion) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It would hurt if there is a distinct difference in the community of the new server, bc eventually that will be scrapped when they're forced to merge with the shitfest that is current blue.

I don't have the experience so I can't speak to the blue community currently being a shitfest. But, yes, if that's the case that would definitely suck. I would hope the majority of the good community would just reroll on the following progression server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I wonder if they will allow you to play both blue servers at the same time, like how you can play both blue and red. That will be a big factor imo

Yes! They specifically said that would be ok.

well you have to think about a couple of things, first the progression server will only dump into blue every 3+ years...

2. everyone from blue will be playing this progression server, and over the course of like 3 cyles 9 or so years from now, all of blue, will be more like the plane of knowledge.. where you go to retire your fave characters.. or just hunt and kill things and raid with friends..

a plane of knowledge that is awesome, instead of stupid and not classic and from an exapnsion i dont care about with models that look like crap.
