General Discussion

Funcom has posted an update on the Age of Conan server mergers which were announced by Game Director Craig Morrison back in late September. The update also states that when the merges are complete, players will be given free character transfers and several new 'fresh start' servers will be introduced.

As announced a few weeks ago, we will merge the Age of Conan servers before the Christmas Holidays. Today we want to give you some detailed information about how these merges will happen and what this will mean for you, the players.

We will be spreading the server merges over the next few weeks so not all the servers will be merged at the exact same time. It is important to us to ensure that the merge process goes as smooth as possible. Therefore it is vital that we spread out the work rather than doing these complicated processes all at the same time in order to minimize possible risks.

The first servers that will be merged are the US servers ‘Bloodspire’ and ‘Hyperborea’. The list of servers for the next merges will be published shortly.

It is important to know that during the time servers will be merged, all servers of the same territory (US or EU) will not be available. This means that during this week's downtime - where the two above mentioned servers are merged - all US servers will be unavailable. The exact duration of such a downtime will be announced soon but we do expect them to be longer than the usual update downtime.

HAHAHA

I wondered when this was going to happen..

I would not count this game out yet.  Funcom is known for taking a MMO with problems and fixing them.  Still probably the best graphics in an MMO out this year.

Why did you wonder? It was announced a couple of months back that they wanted to do this before the holidays. They're doing it and starting early December.

You can blame FC for screwing up AoC release a lot, but so far they've been doing what they promised in regards to server mergers.

Sounds like to little way to late. We will find out in due time though.

Warhammer will probably do the same thing also

server merges=getting closer to its ultimate demise.

I was going to say the same thing.

Servers merges is not a good thing. That means the game is almost dead. Who cares AOC sucked anyway.
