They have to prevent people playing both green and red at the same time
 

it will ruin the new server

Cool! Thanks rogean

Threeish months left. Any idea when we might get more information so we can start planning vacation time? :D

CYA GUYS IN OCTOBER LADS

reading all this is kind of making me sad... i just discovered that P99 exists. I played 99-2004 and would have come to p99 in the beginning if I knew about it. I've just updated my computer and procured Titanium discs so i can play. 2 1/2 mo from Green coming out, what am i doing creating a character on Blue? why wait for green? Are Green and Blue really going to merge, or is Green going to be independent killing Blue/Red population? If i recreate my Ogre Shaman on Blue, while i wait and then again on Green, what happens if they do merge? Are there hold outs that are not going to play Green? Will those people be bullies or desparte for community?

As someone who has not yet returned to Everquest, on the outside, this looks like an Emulator Killer. & bums me out.

i might just have to read a book.

No one except the staff knows for sure whether the two servers will ever merge. However, whether you pick Blue or Green or both, there will be plenty of people (and not just "bullies" ;)) to play with on both servers.

You probably wont get whatever camp you remember being bullied out of on green or blue either unless you quit your job and grow a little hair on your neck

Blue isn't gonna die until either they shut the server down or everyone playing literally dies. People have too much time invested in blue. Even if they play green, they'll play blue when they want their Kunark/Velious fix. With no expansions, the world is gonna feel pretty small.

Not sure you could kill Red, as it died years ago.

And I would argue Green will help Blue by lowering the population some, would be nice not seeing all the camps being poop socked.

After a week of Green I'm sure a lot of people will come back to Blue, because Green will be so crowded and ever lone mob being called a camp.

I second this. Mostly the.. trying to go back to blue part.
