12/9 Downtime + Server Merge: Blackburrow to EverfrostFollow

24 hours... I will go insane! Most likely I'll watch a days worth of Netflix ques.

If nothing else, Feldon from EQ2Wire is hanging out being entertaining, since he's overseas atm :)

I will log in tomorrow and somehow Dya will have all my stuff, I just know it.

Damn you Dya!!

An update from Rothgar on the official forums:



Will post more updates as I see them. :)

Just letting everyone know that there hasn't been another update the last 4 hours, I've been checking about every 5-10 minutes. :)

The EU servers have also been down for about 11 hours now--last I saw, they were having issues with transmitting the patch.

Amnerys posted to basically let everyone know that nothing is burning down and at this point, no news is good news. :)

Latest update:

Around 3:30pm PST Rothgar said the merge is "nearing an end", however QA still has to pass its checks and give it a clean bill of health.



I'm not sure I'll still be awake when it's finally open, so hopefully Calthine will be able to update everyone if not.

Haha.. never had those actually. Sounds a bit funky to be honest!

Trying to follow Cyliena's tracks now that she's gone to bed.

Everfrost is up. If you're name is wrong DO NOT PETITION. Around 10pm SOE time they announced they had a script running to fix the names to match what they said on the FAQ. http://eq2.zam.com/story.html?story=24393

Definitely! I'm glad. I had two chars and my husband had one that got affected by this oops.

However, here's today's update:

1. In-game mail is sending duplicates of old items to some people
2. Many guild halls that were paid up cannot be entered.

That's all I know of so far (just woke up a bit ago), and my hubby popped on the confirm that his char name was fixed and that the guild hall wasn't working. While he was on it seems that Everfrost was yanked down again... looking for more info on that still.

All of SOE is down today. Probably all day. All the games, everything for maintenance. So I still haven't been able to see how my characters are after the merge. Eh, I'm off tomorrow, I'll check then.

I was able to log in this morning to the new Everfrost however my first toon to log in was swamped with items in overflow inventory. Many of the items were in stacks some L&L items that I usually destroy since they are so plentiful and many many of the items were stacks of low tier harvests along with level 30 foods by the stacks. I have 9 level 90 and many hovering 78 and above so I have not had those kind of items in years. There were also old items like Basil and differant liquids that has not been in game in years. My shared bank had a 6 slot bag in place of a 44 and it had old game junk my original bag seems to be missing. I had in my mail box old old mail along with one that contained 23plat from my hubby several years ago and another with 1plat he had sent me. Another of my toons had rares from old mail with messages like for you jeweler to make lvl 32 stuff for your alt. So it has not been exactly smooth.
Now server went down at 8am eastern and no word yet.
