Won't the green server suffer the same fate?

Experience a true fresh server start + get to try and obtain many trinkets that will eventually get removed like Manastone, Dark Elf Mask and in Kunark Fungus Staff etc etc?

I mean sure it will be fun to try that but I'm struggling to understand what, long term, the difference will be.

The point is experiencing the game new. No twinks, no PLing. Sure, everyone still knows everything. We know the zones, the nameds, the drops. It'll never be 'classic' as per, but with your outloook on it we may as well slit our throats because we'll eventually die of old age, the sun exploding, the stars receding, whatever.

Green will eventually become almost as saturated as blue is with twinks etc, but it will be fresh, which is a different experience. THE experience that most people want out of EQ. It's not about being the fattest, sweatiest most pathetic neckbeard ever to live, as you suggested. It's to experience a classic server without twinks, PL's, and enchanters/shamans/melees with fungis soloing every camp.

It really won't. Green will span Vanilla + Kunark + Velious, or about three years. Velious alone took seven years to code, which means Blue spent more than twice as much time just in Kunark as Green will spend in it's entire existence.

Green will have MANY issues, like insane players who want Mana Orbs and Guises and such and will do anything to get them. But it will never have as much ... anything (level 60 Rogues, Fungi Tunics, Mage Epics, whatever), or even half as much, as Blue has now.

Why no 60 rogues?

Nah, it's envy and lack of insight due to self-justification and fantasy addiction, as stated already from the beginning of the thread.

Everyone who plays fantasy roleplaying games thinks they know the difference between fantasy and reality, and every single one of them is wrong.

Does anyone else think that if Green ever does come out, that they shouldn't put items in the game that were later removed because they were deemed too powerful (i.e. Manastone, Elder Beads, CoS, etc.)?

Everyone will be broke. Unless you plan to sell PL for 5 plat.

a 3 year cycle basically fixes all the complaints anyone could have. Items too powerful? Gone in a few years. One guild dominates? Cycle resets.

Play Skyrim, you can start a new game anytime you'd like.
