You impact the worth of the items accumulated on Green when you roll them into Blue. Things like Velious armor MQ's, epic MQ's, etc and so forth, are priced differently when the majority of the server is working on their main or first alt, as opposed to their 7th alt on blue.

Things will be worth more on Green. Merging into blue rips that economy apart, and de-values everything you earned overnight.

But if you don't transfer those items, their worth will be 0 because they will be destroyed at the end of green's timeline. along with every other pixel and character that wasn't transferred somewhere [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The whole point is to experience the classic timeline.

I consider this notion completely flawed.

When people were playing original release, did they know the timeline?
Did they know what items were to come, and when?

If not, then knowing the timeline is inherently not classic.

Therefore the only way to replicate an experience similar to classic is to not follow a known timeline.

Who cares about things being worth less on Blue. The game has no purpose there, it's just an unchanging graveyard/museum.

It's not like we expect to be literally mindwarped into our 13 year old selves again and forget the last 22 years.

We just want to fight over lions and wisps.

Why does it have to be "merge or destroy"? Keep Green as Green. Maybe at the end of the timeline we get the oft rumored custom content.

Or even better, Pantheon launches and I've done all this worrying for morning.

Having the value of your treasure tank after the end of Velious is classic.

Usually this would be caused by
1) bazaar opening up the market place
and
2) Luclin outdating your armour,

Merging green to blue could achieve the same effect thanks to alts already wearing Velious quest / nToV pixels.

After the end of green timeline they should just put the characters into a purgatory that can only log into the tutorial or something so people see what they managed to acquire for this particular iteration...kinda like a *gasp* museum.

If green doesn't roll into blue, then it will cut down on all these dudes looking at it as an investment opportunity and open up the camps for people that want to actually use the items.

Of course not, you can't change the past.

However, could we not do something different? instead of following Classic original EQ timeline, change it.

it wont happen of course since this place was designed around recreating that timeline, but it's an interesting thought!

Familiar game since we know what we know, but new game, with custom content and new timelines and raids and such. Maybe even new character class development! That is a fun thought. (not saying it should happen, but it's fun to think about. You get that sense of wonderment and that joy of NOT KNOWING everything while also feeling comfortable due to the familiarity of a lot of things)
