Is green + blue confirmed merging?

EQ isn't designed for pvp, EQ pvp is a totally unbalanced hackjob. UO is for pvp, EQ is for pve. And I mean, there is still "pvp" on blue servers, you're still competing against other people, you just can't kill them outright. There's a reason nobody plays red sorry.

Pvp on blue = elf court

EQ isn't designed for PvP but it's still better with it these days, because it adds some necessary danger and amount of thinking that the game is supposed to have.

There is no real competition on Blue servers. Being the first to click is not any kind of meaningful achievement. PvE is supposed to be about learning the zones and encounters, interacting with the environment, figuring out how to play the game mechanics optimally. All of that has been figured out ages ago. PvE is empty of its meaning now, and just the threat of PvP (not even doing it, but just being prepared for it) is the only thing that adds something dynamic to the way the game is coded.

Red is pretty dead. It's time for a fresh server.

When green was originally made, staff stated very clearly that it would merge with blue after the timeline is complete which would be some time after the final velious patch at which point custom UI and all other stuff would match Blue rules.

Since then, staff has stepped back from the original certainty and said more or less "We'll see"

I can't think of a single rational argument for keeping the servers separate when they are on the exact same timeline except for people that want to poopsock pharm on both servers at the same time and double their productivity without breaking any boxxing rules.

Same goes with red. No reason to do anything with existing red, it can be the archive of completed PVP servers just like blue can be the archive of completed non PVP servers.

I'm looking forward to red 2.0 like everyone else is. So many small fixes that the incredibly competent p99 team can implement to make it the most enjoyable EQ experience since 1999.

I'll find time to play.

So many people lean on that second part as their crutch, but the possibility exists that they only said it to shut up the whiners for the time being. Certain factions were crying and complaining about the future merge incessantly here on the forums before green even fucking launched.

Merger is the most sensible, manageable and likely scenario.

Negative. They also mentioned adding classic inspired custom content to Blue at some point. If they did that there would be a good reason to have Green be a separate graveyard for the newly completed classic only servers.

Uh oh, as someone who’s only char is on green the idea of it turning into a graveyard is certainly not appealing….
