Server Merge

It looks like those plans to merge Lucan D’Lere with Crushbone weren’t quite so preliminary and subject to player input. From SmokeJumper:

Quote::

It’s official. We’ll be doing the merge that Rothgar describes. LDL will merge with Crushbone. Sometime in early February, preferably. (It’ll take a bit to get everything set up for it.)

Earlier in the thread, Rothgar addressed questions asking about just allowing free transfers to Antonia Bayle, the only other Roleplay PvE server:

Quote::

The whole reason we don’t consider merging LDL with AB is because AB is big enough already. Opening up free transfers to AB from LDL would just create the situation that we are trying to avoid in the first place.

When the Runnyeye/Splitpaw mergers in Europe were brought up, Rothgar reminded the poster about the maintenance necessary to those servers before a merge can be completed:

Quote::

The merges that involve our Amsterdam data center require some maintenance before we can proceed with the merge. That is being worked on now and we hope to start them the first week of February. Nothing we do can change that schedule, whether we attempted an LDL merge before then or not. So while I’m not commiting to any dates, know that your merge date will not be affected by our other plans.

What a crock. This is the same attitude we saw from Smokejumper at Fan Faire regarding EverQuest Extended.

They don't care, they're going to do what they want, when they want to do it, and the customers are not a part of that process.
