Been wondering just how long it would take for somebody to point that out. Having trouble figuring out the agenda of all the folks who deliberately look away from that post. Folr whatever reason it must comfort them to pretend it doesn't exist.

I don't know about others, but as for me, I just didn't notice it.

It's very misleading to post this post and ignore Rogeans post immediately below it...

Server Merge - The staff has had considerable discussion internally regarding the merging of Green into Blue at the end of the timeline. We've heard your concerns. At this time, we haven't made a final decision, but we have also decided that we will leave the door open. A lot can change in 3 years, and we may chose to leave Green running independently as we open additional servers in the future.

Oh wow, I never noticed that post. Welp, that explains why people keep asking if the Green-to-Blue merge is happening after all. And once again, we must refer to the words of the staff: "we will leave the door open. A lot can change in 3 years, and we may chose to leave Green running independently as we open additional servers in the future." So, no update and nobody will know until we get closer to the date.

My hope is that Green will dump into blue after 6 months of the final patch.
Then Green starts fresh with all the bug fixes and classic improvements found during Green(2019).

I doubt they would keep multiple servers open like that. It’s expensive and we simply don’t have the player base to sustain it in terms of population numbers. I would be surprised if Green doesn’t end up merging with Blue when they start a new Green

If money meant anything Red would have been closed years ago.

Red is probably on the same server as Blue, with it's population I doubt it uses as much bandwith as one zone on Blue.

Sounds like either merge from green into blue with items/plat intact, or keep green running separately. Either way that's more than 2 years from now, I'd say go for it OP and enjoy gaming on green for now.

Except no. Red is a completely different rule set server (I.e. PVP). That’s why they keep it up. If it was just another PVE server I doubt they’d keep it up. I expect they will keep Blue as the server that every progression server merges into and then have another classic progression timeline server going through the overall timeline. Red will exist because they want to keep a PVP server up.

This... Unless they're expecting official eq servers to shut down in the next few years. Keeping green and blue would probably cripple at least one of the servers when a new one opens.

Was Teal on a separate physical server or same box as green? If so just make green 2 that box. Regardless I had no lag on either server so it should work to not have to merge to ancient blue.
