Merge Green with Blue

[Gustoo]

I think it was RMT traceability, when whole accounts changed hands its hard to track where the in game payment was. I wish there was a way to accommodate it. Same with server X trading as it made the servers feel connected and allowed people to flow from one to another even if at an exchange rate disadvantage.

Merging Green into Blue is the logical choice. As people have pointed out earlier in this thread, Blue had around 1200-1400 players at peak play times before Green came out. I remember seeing those numbers often. I believe it broke 1400 a few times as well.

The population on P99 has been pretty stable at the 1200-1400 number for years, and it is still there when you combine the Green and Blue population counts. You really shouldn't be worried about the raid scene being too crowded with 1200-1400 players. We had that for many years and it worked just fine.

Having 3 servers (Blue, Green 1.0, and Green 2.0) is more worrying, because it will simply thin out the numbers across all of the servers. If 1200-1400 is the stable amount of players on P99 as a whole, you will probably end up with somewhere around 400-600 players per server, which will start to feel distinctly more empty.

Because Everquest requires so much time investment, many people don't want to leave their main characters behind and start fresh. That is why I didn't move over to Green, I really didn't want to spend the time to build up new characters again. I also didn't have any need to get legacy items like Manastone, I don't have any plans on making the classes that would benefit from Manastone. Many people on Green will feel the same way, and not move over to Green 2.0.

The people who will move to Green 2.0 are the players who want to start fresh, want legacy items, or didn't invest too much time into Blue or Green 1.0. This is going to be a much lower player count than the players who moved from Blue to Green 1.0, because more players on both servers now have serious characters they don't want to lose.
