I will add besides all the cons to old beta blue discussed to near infinity the fact that our character names on old blue are "reserved" on new greens is a real pita.
How many people thought for a second the account they created 10 years ago to help test a wip/beta pipe dream of a server would prevent them from using their character names a decade later on their dream come true server(and thanks for all that work).
Makes me wonder just how many characters are sitting on blue unintentionally reserving names for eternity yet never to be played ever again due to discarded/lost account info.
It's definitely thousands.
Imho if we can't pull off the blue band-aid then the idea of just making it a fully separate entity would solve most problems. Transition Green into a New Blue(or whatever color) when a fresh Green starts. Then merge when the time comes. Rinse repeat.
Makes so much more sense and I don't understand the resistance.
