We're still waiting for news I'm afraid, but we're obviously well aware of the thongs of hungry gamers waiting for their new careers. We should have *real* news for you within half an hour.
Well, whereas the result to the end-user is pretty similar, we're not actually merging servers, but rather moving the population. And, we're doing it en masse. We've been tweaking our tools throughout the day to speed up the transfer process with some success. Still, progress just isn't what we thought it would be. If need be, we'll just pull the plug and launch the servers with the new careers online.
Cheers,
Magnus
You should take cooking classes BloodOmen!Been playing mmo's since EQ1 right upto present mmo's, i've seen more server merges in mmo's than you've had hot dinners, it doesn't take 16 hours simply because its all pre-planned, they know (or should know) what to do the moment the servers go offline.
And yes, the extended time would be nice if it all goes perfectly and all problems are rectified when they go back up, 16 hours is extracting the bodily fluids tho. Its not giving off a good impression for trialists seeing servers down for this amount of time for such a simple and pre-planned task.
