How to fix low server pop

This isn't true???

The character name is tied to your account. So, for instance, if you have the name Chillybob on Blue, then no one on Green or Teal could create that name unless they were doing so on the same account that has the name on Blue.

The staff already explained this. They also said duplicate names will have an X added to the end upon server merge (just like how this was handled on live). This is also what happened upon Green and Teal merge. So if you had used one account to create Chillybob on Blue, then on Green, and also on Teal, when Teal and Green merged you'd have Chillybob and Chillybobx on Green. When Green and Blue eventually merge, you'll now have Chillybob, Chillybobx, and Chillybobxx on the merged Blue.

I really wish people would stop spouting off about duplicate names with false statements like this guy made, when it's already been opined on by the staff and it's a non-issue.

Then how do I have names from teal that I never had on Blue.... I now have them on green yet cannot make characters with those same names on those same accounts over on blue..

Because someone already used those names years ago. Green and blue did share a name base but Teal was put together I assume rather quickly to deal with the massive population, seemingly it did not share the name bank with blue, only with green. Its confusing but trust, as someone who has names that I CANNOT make on blue.... Teal was its own enigma.

And honestly, might also point to why the servers were merged so early on in the classic timeline ~
