What was wrong with Ironforge?Franky that is one thing I think got ruined when they released expansions is people stopped hanging out in one focused place which creates a community.

Um you mean 150 players max in pe which has been and always will be max for pe instance? The only difference between seperate shards and single shard is instead of 3-8 instances of pe we will have 9-24 instances which is still less than we had pre-feywild. Sharandar will have 20-25 instances of 40 players each instead of the 5-11 we have now. The only way server merge causes any lag issue is if they continue to downgrade the hardware running the game.
Does this mean there going to make one of the servers a beginner server?
force new players start on a one server before being allowed to have access
to the other servers? lol

No, it means there will be one shard, period. All existing characters will be moved to the new shard and any new characters will be created on the new shard. Beholder, dragon, and mindflayer will no longer exist after the merge.
just hope they add auction house and all the stores that are in enclave to sharadar or gaunltgrym
so lvl 60 players dont have to go back to enclave...

its related, once after server merges, its going to be packed
and it will be a tad bit over whelming with hundreds of people
in one location. compared to a few dozen people atm.
but i wont say any more.

Well, color me corrected. I totally spaced on the fact that the game already threw us onto several instances of a zone on each shard. I'm not quite so worried about Ironforge-like lag anymore. Thank you for pointing that out.

Again, if there are more people, there will simply be more instances.

No, it isn't. you are bad and should feel bad. feel free to read the thread or actually pay attention to how the game works before commenting in the future. hint: the reason it's irrelevant is quoted in the post directly below yours.
Have they announced the name of the new shard yet?
Beholder, of course.

Well from the sound of things, the whole game will be moving to new hardware. So we might get a new name. However, Cryptic rarely makes a big deal about the names beyond their own internal name for things. I honestly cant remember the names of COs live and preview shards and ive played there for years.
New server..and stronger is my hope. Those PvP guys can have it out..faster grps.. New friends..Its not news as it has always been planned. Maybe cute guys..;)

. . . . . All the Shards are already on the same Server. It's their multi-layer server technology. In essense, the Shards are sub-servers within a single server. Along with the technology upgrade, all the merging is doing is removing the extra shards, which means more instances of each zone will now be available and players will no longer be separated by shard.
just hope they add auction house and all the stores that are in enclave to sharadar or gaunltgrym
so lvl 60 players dont have to go back to enclave...
Amen! you have my axe!

The name of the shards as we saw them were live and playtest. STO however got names for their shards that players could see. Holodeck for live and Tribble for preview.

No worries Leeroy, you will still be the best GWF around even after server merge
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
