Blue/Green Merge 2025 - The time has come

[Solist]

Merge isn't needed.

Fixing the abysmal ruleset enforced by CSR who don't even play anymore, let alone partake as CSR needs fixing first.

Merging now would decimate the population.

Green server is Castle killing every raid mob as they spawn and uncontested 50% of the time and losing to Kingdom/GG the other 50% of the time.

Unplug the servers or merge them, the current situation is sad for everyone involved

Hear me out...

Delete blue and green. Make teams PvP server with coin loot and no cross team buffs or guilds.

Why would halving the amount of mobs by merging them address this.

Only a moron would think anything would happen except a castle/fuse merger.

That’s the way the rules are currently. That’s the mechanics of the current meta. It’s no accident both servers ended up here.

Merging would create a super alive server with 1k peak time CCU again, would be awesome

Blue is a ghost town atm

Do It Seannnnnnnnn

Once a server has defeated the wardens event it should just get dumped into p99 Woke server and a new server should be available imminently.

Voted yes and launch red 2.0

Also jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams.

in order to get the cheddar for new hardware for a server merge, the dev's should consider an in game currency used to purchase exclusive items like illusion wands and 100% wr bags. Perhaps call it something like Edging On Mammaries???

They could offer them as a "reward" for server donations, definitely not RMT cause they'll also put them on mobs loot tables with a 0.00000001% of dropping. I'm sure Daybreak would be fine with it.

I think a set schedule of 1 year pre-Kunark, 1 year Kunark, 9 months Velious and then merging into Blue would be ideal. That matches the duration of the classic EQ timeline while allowing the pre-Velious era to shine most. When you already have a server perma in Velious (Blue), that's the least desirable era of Green server. p99 thrived when it was in Kunark for 4.5 years (aside from the unfortunate AE farming, but that's fixed now).

Ofc, it's not actually worth playing on Green/Blue. Nice to have that museum around to have the classic game code in existence, but what's the point in replaying the same unbalanced and unfinished mechanics over and over. We need a classic-esque server that seeks to improve the game world by being the most sophisticated version possible of the original vision for the game. That should be Red server.

People on live were doing Velious content well into Luclin (and beyond). In fact, there were almost no kills of some of the top Velious raid mobs during Velious: on most servers guilds only ever managed to defeat them after Luclin came out.

Also, I'm sure rotating is a lot of work for the staff, so no need to do that work more frequently than is necessary. To address both issues, I think a fresh server should get at least year and nine months in Velious, and maybe even round that to two years for simplicity.
