Greg"Rothgar"Spence has been giving periodic updates throughout the day on the progress of the Blackburrow to Everfrost merger. His latest update around 3:30pm PST indicates that the two servers should be completely merged soon and the QA team will be able to begin their checks. The merge process is nearing an end and we are almost ready for QA to start a pass on the server. Assuming nothing goes wrong, we may be ready in several hours. Regarding the server legacy titles, those will not be available as soon as the server comes up. They will be processed after a few days. An earlier update today also announced the order that the remaining affected servers of these mergers will be in. There is no solid date given for the next merge.
