Keeping in mind that dates and servers listed are ASSUMING nothing goes wrong, check out the preliminary list of server merges from Rothgar:
We should be able to give more notice for the upcoming mergers. This first one was a special situation where we wanted to start it ASAP and just got the final green light from QA yesterday. If we had then given 48 hours notice and delayed the merger, we wouldn’t have been able to do it Thursday due to a conflicting network maintenance so the next opportunity would have been the following Tuesday, putting us a week later. We just weren’t willing to wait that long since we also may need time to adjust the merge process after the first one and before we start the following merges.
The next merges will be:
Najena -> Unrest
Kithicor -> Butcherblock
Nektulos -> Guk
Mistmoore -> Permafrost
Befallen -> Oasis
Runnyeye -> Splitpaw
Innovation -> ValorEditor’s Note: This is not the final sequence of servers, but just a list of mergers.
I can’t give dates for the following mergers because they are very subject to change depending on any problems that occur or other unplanned maintenance.
I can tell you that if everything goes smoothly today that we will shoot for starting the next merge on Tuesday the 14th and possible the next one on Thursday the 16th.
These dates and even the order of mergers are subject to change if necessary.
