Real talk: Blue is a beta cess pool

dingus, let's entertain the idea for a minute that the servers don't merge and green stays separate. When green 1.0 "ends" and green 2.0 starts, what do you imagine will happen to the green 1.0 population? Do you expect that the server would maintain it's population?

I'd expect the majority would go reroll on green 2.0, making the 1.0 server a dead server. I'm pretty sure you said something along the lines of your green pixels would be devalued by being moved to blue. How much value will they hold on a dead server?

I imagine green 2.0 will have a substantially larger pop than green 1.0, and players who just want their green 1.0 will continue to play on those. When green 2.0 rolls into green 1.0, it'll happen all over again.

Imagine, a minimum pop of 500-600 is all you need to run a healthy eq server.

I also imagine blue will stagnate and people will get rustled they cant get the legacy loot offered on green.


Imagine, Blue population could be jettisoned into the sun, and green community would be fine and do fine without them in any case.

Imagine, green doesnt rely on blue population, not now, not ever.

sorry you dont got permablue, hope this helps

Fixed that for ya.

Green will always be green. Blue is beta, not perma. Imagine that.

Green players not getting that "Classically Inspired" custom content. And never will. See ya NEEEERDS.

Imagine playing on a 500 peak primetime server that doesn't allow boxing and ~100 people idling semi/fully afk in EC. Enjoy finding groups outside of a handful of popular zones. God forbid you try to play during off hours as a class that can't solo. Big ole yikes. This guy is seriously clueless.

No way would green maintain 5-600 after 2.0 launch. That's slightly less than it is now. You're delusional, pal.

Shut up blueberry. Stop using logic and math. You just care about your legacy deprecated blue pixels.


Edit: Forgot beta bucks

Green is "ending" and people are still playing it despite knowing a new one is coming.

So out goes that little rose tinted "merge with us, it'll be fine" theory.

It's trash garbage all these justifications trying to merge w/blue.

See ya on green 2.0

Merge is absolutely mandatory as population is king in a "MMO".

The merge/migration should be a choice to Red or Blue.
The new ladder season on P99 should start on Green. That simple -- then the devs should start working on custom content for Blue in the meantime.

The only people who stand to lose if they don't merge (would ironically be the players who supported this effort from day 1). As they will remain further disconnected from their original characters. There's no benefit blue players have at this point over green players.

I'd support a standalone Teal should exist to merge *only* Green players. Then when population dips below a certain threshold (Say 3-400 active players) they should just cancel the server/characters altogether.

OP has no clue how many people (who play green) pray daily for a merge back into Blue. Just from my little circle of friends, you'd lose 5-6 players who would love to migrate to Blue. The Blue experience is simply better than Green at this point.

Still waiting for OP to live stream deleting his green chars because he says he doesn’t care about pixels and would be fine with the servers being purged
