from ZAM News (full)

The original date given for server merges to kick off is quickly approaching. This morning the SOE EQII Community Manager, Amnerys, announced that Blackburrow and Everfrost will be the first pair merged. Ok, got some word that I can share while we all wait anxiously: The first scheduled merge is the Blackburrow to Everfrost merge. We are not sure at this time if the merge will happen tomorrow yet. We're still running some back-end things that have not given us the green light at this time, though we could get the green light at a later point today. As soon as we know one way or the other, I'll come post. I'll also make an official announcement post when we have a solid yay or nay on tomorrow. For additional information on the server merges, check out our Server Mergers 2010 guide. UPDATE: The merge appears to have been pushed back to Thursday, November 18th now according to an update from Rothgar . We're doing another QA pass on the merge process tonight, aft ...

Server Merger Questions and Answers [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
The server mergers are scheduled to begin on or around November 16. Despite an email and a couple of official posts on the forums, players still have some questions about the impending merges. We combed community posts for concerns and sent them off to SOE, where Amnerys was able to get us some answers from the developers. We hope this helps everyone plan for the mergers!

ZAM: Regarding potential guild name conflicts: If two guilds share the same name, what is the criteria for which guild will keep the name? Will active guilds have the chance of losing their name to an inactive guild simply due to the guild's inception date? SOE: The guild that was created first, chronologically, will keep the name. ZAM: Will the EQ2Player leveling history and/or item discoveries be wiped for anyone affected by the ...
