From Rothgar on the EQ2 Forums:
The merges are still going fine. The chat/mail portion of the merge is a little behind schedule unfortunately so chat may be down longer than expected. I’ll try to provide an ETA later today.
Tonight, Kithicor, Butcherblock, Mistmoore, and Permafrost all go under the Server Merge knife, so this means all servers will experience some loss of Chat functionality, in-game Mail, and Friends lists. On the Najena -> Unrest merge, this worked out to about 12 hours, so we expect that tomorrow, there will be 12-14 hours of these features being unavailable on ALL servers during the heart of the merge window.

The Mistmoore Crag Estate item limit should not have been less than the other large houses already available. We’ve decided to up the limit from 600 to 800. This change should be going out in the next hotfix.
EQ2Players.com has a news item up announcing the new 7 year veteran reward, your very own Mistmoore Crag Estate!
It looks like it’s going to be quite impressive. More pictures are available at EQ2Players.com.
There was quite an amusing thread with several devs posting screenshots and info over the past week about this new housing. All of it false of course but pretty humerous. Definately worth a read. It includes comments like this from Haohmaru like this:
Hey all!
We’ve decided to give a sneak peek of the Mistmoore Crag Estate. After much deliberating and rock paper scissors, we decided on…
A Boat!
But, should we just do a boring old boat? Would that even be interesting? What else could we do to make it unique and unlike anything seen before? So then we got to thinking… and thinking… and then, EUREKA!
Ladies and Gents – I present to you, the Mistmoore Crag Estate. Your very own floating coffin. And yes, for those wondering, the lid does indeed close during the day locking you and your friends inside. TELL ME THAT DOESN”T ROCK!
Even includes screen shots of the coffin. Kinda makes you wonder who spiked the coffee at SOE last week. 🙂
