Hey all,
We’re still working on getting everything ready for server consolidations, and we wanted to give everyone a quick update.
Our first merge will be Crushbone, Butcherblock, and Oasis into Maj’Dul. This won’t be ready for next week. The soonest this will be ready will be the week of October 19, and we’ll keep everyone updated as we know more.
We’re also working to time this with the launch of the Terrors of Thalumbra beta server. While we’re still working on optimizing the server consolidation process to minimize downtime, there will be extended downtimes for servers that are merging. Hopefully you’ll choose to spend some time exploring Thalumbra with other beta testers during this time.
Our other server merges will happen before the expansion launches. We want to see how Maj’Dul’s merge goes first, before committing to dates and giving approximate downtimes for Everfrost, Guk, and Unrest merging into Halls of Fate and Freeport, Nagafen, and Permafrost merging into Skyfire.
After these server merges have completed, we’ll have a period of time that players can choose to transfer for free between Maj’Dul, Halls of Fate, Skyfire, and Antonia Bayle. We’ll have additional information on this later, and the free transfer period won’t happen until all of these merges are done.
We appreciate all of our players’ patience and support during this process. If you haven’t been keeping up on server merges, you can find out more in our most recent FAQ here.
Do we need to pre-order for beta server access?
So far yes (As far as I’ve heard/read), but they might do something like last time; pre-orders access first (To give a bit more reason for peeps to pre-order), paid members, then all types. Not really necessary to test server load on a beta server, I don’t think, so I could be wrong.
Oh goody, my server is one of the guineapigs… /crosses fingers it all goes well.
