When the servers finally merge

I reside in North America and made the mistake of creating my characters on the Dragon shard.
Will I be able to play on NA server when the servers merge or will I be forever tied to a Euro server?

Much of the Zone chat is in languages other than English so I assumed that I was on a European server.
All servers are geographically located in the US, afaik.

No one knows. I imagine when people know it will have been announced by Cryptic.
I think because it was in their original plan?
And whats with these profile picsOo who messed up the forums.
Was it? With what purpose?
"The harder the game, the better."
Because they said they would merge them and some of us have friends on different servers. Plus, it would be nice to have some more pvp competition.
To have the one super server like in STO and CO?
Games don't normally die by having too many people playing together.
"The harder the game, the better."
You're correct and the common misuse on these forums is calling shards servers. The shards will be merged into one on their super server. They dont plan on keeping the 3 separate.
It would be better though, to have all instances fall under the same shard. Queue times would probably speed up, let's hope new characters may even get two skirmishes in before they level up.
Ive been holding off on even wanting to join a guild simply because I don't want some random arbitrary choice I made months ago be a factor on what guild I end up in. I'm too firmly set in my own shard to restart elsewhere. And just jumping in a guild, in my current shard, would feel too much like settling. Rather then having a chance to explore all my options.
my friend (we'll call them friend A) created their main character on beholder shard
My Other friend (friend
I enjoy playing with both friend A and friend B so to play with them i had to create a character on both shards
so now i have 2 level 60 characters on separate shards that are unable to transfer mail/ share a guild/ transfer AD
i would like the shards to merge so i can play with both friends at the same time AND be able to use all my available resources for both characters.
Everyone agrees that merging shards is desirable.

Here is what they have to say :
Why will Neverwinter have multiple shards when Cryptic's other games run on a single shard?
We believe that having all players in a single game world provides for the best user experience because it allows players to play, interact and trade with others without having to worry about which shard they are on. Launching a new online game is an exciting time, where new hardware and new software meet a large user population for the first time. Hence, we have decided to launch Neverwinter with three shards, to reduce the risk of players having a negative experience due to servers overloading. Our goal is to continue to optimize our software and hardware so that we can merge the three shards into a single seamless game world soon after launch, and we have built our multi-shard technology with this in mind. For example, we are requiring guild names to be unique across all shards, so that when we do merge the shards nobody will have to change their guild name due to a naming conflict.
So you plan on merging the shards into one game world soon after launch. Do you know exactly when?
We don’t have a target date set right now; we want to allow our infrastructure and operations team an open schedule to support launch. We’ll definitely announce and give the community significant warning.
