One good thing is that the Directx 10 is close to being put on the test server.  Looks like the new guy is shaking things up.  Good for him.  Just hope for Funcom that it is not too late.

it's too late for you to be hoping it's not too late for funcom.  You should have been hoping it's not too late for Funcom back in April, when it wasn't too late.   Once they launched the game, it was too late.

The only uncertainty (in my mind) is if we hear about the financial collapse of Funcom before they have to officially announce it on Nov 15th.

But but but... They have 400,000 subscribers! How could you need server merges with 400,000 people playing??

I'm trying my best not to use the server mergers in any way to slam on Funcom.  This is the one time where they put their ego's and hype on the back burner and did something that is right by their players.  The server mergers will make a HUGE difference to the players who still enjoy the game.

There are plenty of other ways to make fun of the fanboys.. I'm just not going to use server mergers :)

That number is made for legal reasons on a financial report... it isn't a live number. So EVER referring to it outside the context of the original document it was intended for is a dumb move.

Bingo. I really hope this will make the game much more enjoyable for those still playing AoC.

And hey, if we see other servers popping up later it means more subscribers.

I can't wait. The only reason I'm not playing is because there is no one to play with.

His comment was sarcasm directed at the half-dozen or so fanbois who insist on doing that very thing. They throw around this 400k number, which is not only old data, but was already out of date when it was released, and then pretend it actually means something.

While I agree this is a good thing and this is ONE time. Its too little to late to make up for months of customer bashing.
