Butcherblock, Crushbone, and Oasis Server Merge – COMPLETE!
Update as of 3:45pm PDT:
After 33 hours, and despite a false start mid-morning, the new Maj’Dul server is now up and running! Please read our FAQ below for answers to the most common questions you might have. This new server combines all the characters and guilds from Butcherblock, Crushbone, and Oasis. The EQ2 dev team have been logged into the new Maj’Dul server, monitoring the situation, and answering questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Help I’ve lost my hotbars!
A: Type /load_uisettings and choose your character from your previous server.
Q: My EQ2 Launchpad still shows characters from Butcherblock, Crushbone, and Oasis. How do I fix this?
A: You will need to go to Character Select screen and then close EQ2 for your Launchpad to be updated.
Q: When Guild Halls come up, why doesn’t Call to Guild Hall work?
A: Before anyone can Call to Guild Hall, at least one member of the guild will have to visit the Guild Hall Attuner item in their guild hall to trigger an update to everyone’s Call to Guild Hall ability. It may necessary for every person to travel to the guild hall first and re-attune your CtGH.
Q: What’s with this Login Queue where I have to wait up to 2 hours to login?
A: This is a temporary queue to maintain server stability as thousands of characters are logging in for the first time since the merge. Subscribers don’t experience this queue, only Free-to-Play folks. This queue will go away soon.
Q: My Guild was renamed to something else or with X’s and Z’s appended to it. How do I change it?
A: Currently the FREE in-game /guild rename feature is disabled. When guild renames become available again, have your guild leader type /guild rename <name> omitting the < and > marks.
Q: Can I buy a Guild Rename potion on the Marketplace?
A: If you absolutely positively cannot bear to have an X or Z after your guild name until the next server patch, you can spend $25 on the Marketplace Guild Rename potion. But really, just wait for the next update (probably Thursday morning) which will enable the FREE in-game Guild Rename feature
Q: My Character was renamed to something else or with X’s and Z’s appended to it. How do I change it?
A: Type /rename <name> omitting the < and > marks.
Q: My character from Butcherblock isn’t able to choose the title “of Butcherblock”. Why?
A: This is a known issue that will be fixed in a hotfix tomorrow.
Q: What is the server name in-game for the purpose of sending tells/mail?
A: In-game, the server is Maj_Dul, so /tell Maj_Dul.charname is how you send a message.
Here are just a few of the updates we received from the EQ2 dev team as the servers were down:

As of 8:20am PDT, some characters are sporadically starting to show up on Character Select, however the Maj’Dul server remains locked.
We are unlocking Maj’Dul with a queue to monitor any issues. We will open it up when we confirm there isn’t a ton of clowncar issues. #eq2
— Holly Longdale (@TheWindstalker) October 21, 2015
We are delaying opening Maj’Dul at the moment due to a couple of issues we want to fix. When we have a solution, we’ll give a time est. #eq2

What if I have toons on the servers being merged and my home server has no open slots, What happens to the overflow of characters? so lets say i have 7 slots on Unrest and have 7 toons filled in those slots. On the other two servers merging with Unrest I have a total of 7 toons. That would give me 14 toons but I do not have 14 slots……. What happens which toons do I get?

It’s just one big pool of slots – not per server. So this should have no effect on your character slots.

12 noon Pacific… Maj’Dul locked. However, Hubby’s account (which has an open character slot) CAN create a new character on Maj’Dul. /le sigh

Correction: New Character created but upon selecting the offered Maj’Dul server we get a message that the sever is unavailable. Oh well, at least it IS listed as a server.

I’ve got the problem that my characters are shown for Butchblock and Maj’Dul server and I can’t delete the ones I can’t use, just the ones on Maj’Dul, but also I have just 2 slots that are active and 2 locked ones. So actually I have 1 active character. I already started the launchpad for about 20 times but it doesn’t update the characterslots.
