Why play on green instead of blue?

At this stage I don't think there's much point starting on Green tbf, only a few months left of the classic lifecycle to go. Not only is stuff cheaper on Blue but you also get pet window, hotkeys 6-10, blue XP bar. Population on Green is slightly higher but not massively so.

This. I'd go for Blue at this point because there's cheaper gear to help you solo and duo easier. There really aren't that many grouping opportunities on Green that you can't get by joining a guild on Blue.

That's 7 x the price!

You have to sit at treants 7 x longer to buy SCHW on green and then after you've purchased them you have no idea if their market price will plummet.

I guess the low value PP on green is irrelevant if you're going to do things the way it was intended which is to loot as you go and progress naturally rather than buy twink items in EC tunnel.

I don't follow the "market" too closely, but the prices on Green (and maybe this is the case for blue as well) aren't entirely due to scarcity, sometimes they are just whatever the few people who are the only ones selling that item decide it is. I notice certain items have a little oligopoly of players controlling its price. The solution to that would be to decline to buy until someone caves or gets desperate for quick plat

schw is silver chitin hand wraps, haste item

Don't farm plat then, just get the items you want from the npc that drops it and you can trade the item for a greater number of bandages and muffins once you get rid of them.

Green progress is over, so which server is moot in that regard.

But since it is newer there are still more fresh-start players scrubbing around doing fun stuff versus more established players on blue that are maxxed out.

Green is a much worse server:

UI

Targeting

Pet window

Extra hot bars

Blue is a no brainer
