Consequences of merging Blue and Green ?

[Solist]

Sorry you’re not rich on both servers.

The biggest benefit to merging the servers is preventing the player base from becoming too fractured.

Some players will stay on Green 1.0 instead of going over to Green 2.0. Same with Blue players who never went over to Green 1.0.

I honestly don't see P99 surviving if they keep Green and Blue separate servers after releasing Green 2.0. You're going to have 400-500 players on each server at that point on peak hours. Less during off hours.

There will be a percentage of players who are boxing multiple servers simultaneously too. The more servers they have to split their attention, the more likely you are to see semi-AFK campers instead of groups of players.

I really hope there is an ongoing conversation between the devs regarding a possible merge. The population on blue has gotten so low that it's no longer easy to find groups at lower levels except at peak hours, and the tunnel has been so empty since Quarm launched that it's taking forever to find spells/items for sale.

It seems the only time the server gets busy is when there's an earthquake or a re-pop day, and everyone jumps over from other servers to raid, then log back off as soon as they run out of targets.

Yeah even Green is becoming somewhat like this. We really don't have the population to sustain two healthy servers anymore. I really wish they would merge.

Seems weird to play classic EQ then

It does beg the question, if the devs are putting little to no effort on the current Green and Blue server, what are they spending their time on?

Have they taken a step back from P99 all together and just allocating little to no time to the project at all, or are they working on something behind the scenes like a merge or new server?

I've personally seen no indication from P99 staff that a merge or a new server are in the works are a part of their vision and to date the excessive amount of threads dedicated to this topic are just filled with speculation and projections of personal preferences.
