Launching green was a big deal because it was when they could roll out updates exactly like live did. Now that that has ran its course what other reasons would they have to launch another one?

Because that’s the point of project 1999. Have a server going through the timeline again and again so people can experience it forever.

I actually dont want a merge anymore. I recently found out how cheap as fuck everything is on blue now and spent a huge portion of my savings on like 9 alts and soloing my ass off with little if any competition. i like logging in and seeing specs uncamped. i love being able to get some giants in oot without fraps on, i liked being able to waltz into unrest with my 40 paladin and just camp most of the basement smacking shit with craslith and chilling with fungi+purpose
oh god and getting AC OOT uncamped for said alts was amazing

NOT CLASSIC

I heard that daybreak was sending the devs lawyer letters not to add more servers

that post on guide applications being accepted only for blue kinda puts a damper on the idea that the servers are merging anytime soon

It possible the present policies for the guide/GM program may be influencing the lack of merge: They don't want their staff playing on the server they're active as staff on. With two servers, that's viable. When it was just blue, most of the staff also played. Red is not viable as an alternative server, and the amount of volunteer staff who want to put in significant hours at no pay for a game they can't even play has got to be vanishingly small.

I totally support that rule in theory (that staff shouldn't actively play on the same server they GM on, because there are obviously perverse incentives all over the place), but I honestly don't know how they can ever hope to enforce it unless the entire p99 staff has to live in a house together like big brother or something.

For that reason, I very much doubt it has anything to do with the lack of a merge.

They could incentivise non-GM players to dob their staff mates in by offering free fungi to any player that is able to finger a staff using a player toon on the server that staff GMs.
