Hopefully green gets wiped after each merge and starts over.

One of the main reasons I would be tempted to play on green is to have a fresh start away from all the bloated wallets of people that have been playing for 10 years that drive prices up. I've only just started playing on blue about 3 months ago maybe. My highest character is level 40 and I haven't gotten to the point where I can really start amassing a good deal of plat. Most things for sale in EC are more than I can afford or priced at silly prices due to the amount of virtual money in circulation (ie: Shralok Pack for 125 plat.) Starting over on green would allow me and people like me that were late to the game to be on a level playing field with everyone else, at least at the beginning. Why on earth would you want that level playing field to go away at the end of 3 years? You wouldn't, or at least I wouldn't and I would think most people wouldn't. If it's going to go away at the end of 3 years, what's the point of even playing on green? I may as well just stay on blue with the characters I've already sunk time into. | |||

There are lots of great reasons for green but "my level 40 can't afford to have a teenage Orc killed" is probably not one of them.

The point remains, if you start on a fresh server then you have the same amount of time to amass wealth as everyone else. You're not starting where everyone else has up to 10 years head start on you in piling up cash. | |||

Green drape is end game preplanar gear. The fact you perceive it as newb gear demonstrates to what degree the economy spoils us for anything but the most elusive equipment. On blue you won't use it for long. As you say. On green you're going to be stuck with that tier of gear for almost a year.

On a fresh server, myself or any other player would have the same amount of time to amass wealth as anyone else. Whether you take advantage of that or not is another matter but you start even with everyone else on day 1. If you get put back into the bloated economy of blue after 3 years, your wealth relative to the rest of the server is going to go backwards. That's not arguable, it's a fact. That's why I would not want to even bother with green if it's going to end up being merged with blue eventually. I may as well just stay on blue with the characters I've already invested time in. As it stands now, all this talk of green being merged with blue seems to be, from what I've been able to tell by reading this forum, just rampant speculation from players. I've yet to see any comment from an admin saying that is the plan. Until I know what the plan is, I will remain on the fence about playing on green. | |||

20 years farming plat also means 20 years farming bracers.
That said, sure there will be less plat on green some people might sell items for less, but the really valuable items will be traded by barter not for currency. Or just be used by people who loot them. The people actually generating the items by clearing content need to saturate their own strata with desirable items before they will trickle down through sales. On blue you have items 15 levels higher than you, meaning anything you find is distributed for greed. Furthermore, ignoring the fact that you've taken 4 months to hit 39 which calls into question if you have as much time available as everyone else, time isn't the main factor in ability to accumulate wealth. 4 people spending 4 hours on productivity in Eq is with more than one person putting in 16 elf hours. With all due respect, good luck on getting your tolans bracer 4 months in to green | ||
