Is Green's epic release similar to what happened on Blue?

If you have one bucket that holds two gallons and another bucket that holds five gallons how many buckets do you have?

Two buckets.

Imagine thinking that a bucket is defined by gallons. Y'all idiots have never been to KFC before and it shows.

It's not just how it was on Blue, it's how it was on live. So yes very classic.

Verant/Sony eventually caved and reduced the bottlenecks of most epics post-Velious

Er, no it wasn’t like that on day one of epics at all.

No one even knew what drops they needed or how to complete the quest when epics were first released

7 1-gallon buckets.

A gallon should not be defined by it's size. Only a sith deals in absolutes.

People with jobs are highly unlikely to get an epic in the first month.

[Argh]

People are camping epic stuff 2 days after their release? Really shocking stuff.

I think people forget (or just don't know) that when this stuff first came out on live, there wasn't an extensive Wikipedia about the game and 15 years + worth of player experience. No one knew exactly how to do the epics or even how to start them, and those that did certainly weren't running around screaming from a mountain top about how to do it all, (at least on pvp anyway) they had to discover it all for themselves. That is the biggest difference between live back then and p99 and other servers now. Everything is known nowadays, there are no surprises, or even a challenge to find out how to do something. You can just Wikipedia / ask people in game and know everything you need in minutes. Newer servers will never be able to replicate that initial wonder of live, simply because it's an old game that has been solidly nerded for over 20 years now.

He was asking about compared to blue though, not compared to the year 2000.

I wasn't around but my impression of blue was that there were a lot less people BUT one guild (TMO I think?) kept epics on total lockdown for literal years.
