We'll see what actually goes live though.

Exciting.  Almost no way I could see them pushing server merges out that soon, but I'm glad it's out there now.

Servermerges won't be in June I think, as they state the will begin to think about it afterwards. Only question of interest for me is what kind of free transfers will they offer and how many.

Free transfers if you don't like where you end up. You can all be frenimies on the same server if you want.

Anyone know how Cazic is doing population wise? If it is as poor as FRo then I might have to take advantage of the free transfer.

I'm just sad that povar is losing its awesome name to the lameness of quellious (no offense wildwaters and whomever else).

They set these up to balance populations between the resulting servers, so you might not find it worth transferring for overall population reasons.

Then Cazic better be a thriving server because FRo sure isn't.

Is any server thriving?

I think they should have been more careful in server choices. Just because a server has a higher or lower population doesnt mean that the population is balanced between groupers/raiders.

Maelin was pretty solid 3 months ago when I left, at least compared to what Xegony is.  There is almost no group game, it's box or take your friends/guildies.

Guys.  The important stuff.

Any info on bags?  Specifically, tailoring recipes?

Heh...it probably doesn't help that your guild is about to drop from number 1 to number 3 or 4 on the combined server and likely be a primary poaching target for the new top guilds.
My guild will drop rankwise too, but we're used to not being bleeding edge, and our members who were poachable are mostly gone already.

Actually atm Im guesisng our competition is going to be firestormers, we are making some rapid progress now.

I couldn't really care when it comes to rank, Im not that vain. I just figured that the idea was to balance the group/raid populations and in todays eq putting 6 raid guilds working tower or higher on a server that allready has a low group game is kind of counter productive.

Is the character transfer for each individual character or for the account. I wouldn't mind moving a few toons to a different server but I don't want to move my entire account. That is why I am asking. Anyone done a transfer and can verify that it only moves one toon at a time or if it moves your entire account?
Title: Re: June patch looks to include larger bags and server mergers
Post by: Khauruk on June 24, 2010, 04:55:48 AM
One toon at a time.  I don't think they even have the means to do an entire acct at once.

You can move characters to different accounts for free? (just at the moment ?)

No, the free move is only between merged servers, and only for a short while. Between accounts would have to be done the normal way.

SoE's automated process is broken, so it has to be done by petition and GM currently.  /bonk SoE!
