Blue = Beta
In many ways the Blue server can be thought of as being like a Beta Server for the Green Server. Thanks to Blue anything that the developers code is likely to be tested by hundreds, if not thousands of different players. However, precisely because it serves this purpose, Blue isn't a true realization of the Project's goal.
Beta Side Effects
For example, in 2000 the Kunark expansion finished after less than a year, but on Blue that era lasted for seven years. This gave the devs the time they needed to fix everything in Kunark and get Velious's code right, and they were only able to do both things because of Blue's "beta tester" population. But it also meant that the server has far more items from that era (eg. Fungus Covered Scale Tunics) than it should. This is why the developers need the Green server to fully realize their vision.
Blue After Green
Although it was originally created to serve a "beta" server for Green, Blue will remain open (at its current point in the timeline, just before Luclin) even after Green's release. It may receive "classically-inspired" custom content:
Development will not stop for Green and Blue. The project will continue to make adjustments to fix bugs and restore classic functionality as it becomes possible to do so. There may also be things that weren't properly 'era locked' when implemented that may need to be adjusted. We will also be considering additional content for Blue that may be custom in nature, but adhering to a classic feel.
