Dont worry about Blue, its population will rise quickly very soon

[astuce999]

If nothing is done on the management side, my prediction for 6 months down the line is:

Blue: 400-600
Green 600-800

The fluctuation will be based on the raiders who switch from one server to the other to kill a mob and then resume playing on their regular server.

1 year later it will be:

Blue: 200-400
Green: 600-800

If the impossible goal of opening multiple green servers was ever reached, I could easily see this 6 months down the line:

Blue: 400-600
Green1: 800-1000
Green2: 800-1000
Green3: 500-800
Green4(RP Preferred): 400-600

But it is again impossible [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you want to have an easy time leveling on Blue right now, just roll a character and go around the zones loudly proclaiming how Green isn't your thing and it's just chaos and people are so rude, not like here. There will be a pile of twinks rushing to you with full bags of loot and buffbot druids in tow.

Blue is fine. The people that were really invested in blue will have a great place to keep playing. The blue water experience of a new server is hard for anyone else to ignore.

Thats why it makes sense for green to merge into blue at the end of its cycle. To keep the full velious maxxed out server from going stale, and to keep allowing people the experience of a new fresh server every once in a while.

It’s been stale a long long time gustoo. They should wipe blue and host a purple server next. Blue is perpetually tainted from past exploits.. think of blue as a beta

Actually, he devs have stated that blue IS/WAS beta for green.

If we think of Blue as beta then there is no point in wiping it. Roll Green into Blue at the end of cycle and then relaunch it to keep the evergreen option available. Win for everyone.

I started in 2018 on P99. The dupes you reference have not ruined my experience. There were long lasting dupes in classic EQ as well that also didn't ruin my experience.

It's the same as in real life; You cannot let what others do or think, ruin your experience!

I just love the presupposition that if you roll on blue, you're awarded your epic and a fungi that even INT casters can wear. Guilds just roll you out ToV dragon loot. Powerlevels happen all the way to lvl 79! You even get a free Firiona Vie plush toy, which has a mouth that doubles as a backpack with plushy velvet interior, to store... stuff!

2 weeks ago, everyone was complaining how difficult it was to do anything on blue. Now they're dying to Large Plague Rats in Steamfont mountains with a Dagger* 3/27 NO DROP.
