I thought there was ONE server in this game?

Will the 3 servers be merged on release? i thought they said they wanted the game to be one big server like STO? how will this work?

Also will the server be wiped on launch day or will we keep everything?

    Plenty of topics about this, but yes, it will be like STO, this is just to help with lag and queues. No wipes, just a merge.

    You character(s) is safe, play as much you like....No wipes are coming

    But Perfectworld/Cryptic will merge the servers into a mega server sometime in the future

    I hope the merge comes sooner rather than later. I have a guild I want to join, but it's on another shard. I can mail my stuff (profession mats, zen keys, etc.) from character to another one of my characters.. but not across shards. And since I have an armored bear mount, I'm not tossing all that AD/Zen to reroll.

    I did find it amusing you can mail your profession dudes though.

    Hopefully they do, or they do something like in Guild Wars 2 where we can transfer all our characters to a new server for free.

    Please Cryptic, don't add a fee to server transfers. It works in WoW because that's just how the MMO works. Blizzard doesn't want each server's AH economy to be ruined by players who switch to a high pop server, buys tons of items for cheap, and then switches to a low pop server and resells it all back at ridiculous prices! So if people wanna do that, then they are gonna have to cough up $25 everytime they server jump!

    But Neverwinter has a real money controller auction house, kinda like Guild Wars 2. So people won't go to a server and buy stuff for cheap and expect to sell it for cheaper on another server because the prices are pretty much identical no matter where you go because of real money!

    If you won't merge servers, then allow us to switch servers when we want or put a 1 per month restriction or something!

    Cause as time goes by, I'm quite certain I will meet new people or discover that a family member is playing this game, and like usual, they won't be playing on my server, but we want to play together! If we have to pay $25 (like in WoW) to play together, then we just won't! Either they will start a new character on my server, get bored and just go back to theirs or vice versa!

    WHAT ? OK , let me explain this . The game is designed for ONE server . But do to the large amount of ' new game ' players the expanded to three temporarily. Once the wave of ' new game ' players leaves they will cut down to one server . No fees to transfer just will scoop them up . So don't be naming your toons the same on different servers , your just asking for heart ache ,
