They were specific in stating that you can create a character on Green with the same name as Blue, if you use the same account. No mention was made of what would happen when Green and Blue merge, but obviously, one of the characters would need to have an -x or something added to it, since the game cannot handle duplicate names.
As for the "more than 8 characters" question, this is the same issue as on live, when they merged servers. Only the first 8 will show up. I don't recall for sure, but I thought Sony/Verant/Daybreak/whoever it was provided a way to request server transfers in game to access those characters in excess of 8. BUT, the good news on EQEMU is, accounts are free. If you have an account with characters on Blue, limit the number of characters on that account for Green so that you will not end up with more than 8 when they merge. Create a new account if need be. The devs know this and may not be that sympathetic to those who max out 8 characters on the same account for both Blue and Green.
