Daybreak Game Company Discussing EQ2 Server Consolidation


gu60_drunder03

Daybreak Game Company has expanded upon an earlier announcement that Everquest II servers will be merged. The term that executive producer Holly Longdale is going for is “consolidation,” meaning that the servers will be closed completely with players shuffled over to new servers, rather than simply merging a lower population server into another.

Those players moving will get a title naming their original server that can be worn with pride! And we will run a vote for the servers being consolidated to choose a new name for the new server based on the recent submissions we’ve had. We don’t know which servers yet, but that’s our next task.

The technology to implement server consolidation isn’t quite done, however the team plans on testing to begin later this  month. Server consolidation for other regions will take place after, and more information overall should be coming within the next few weeks.
