Nope, I don't have it... but I WANT IT!

People shouting the merger is today in Whitegate. No purple text on my screen saying this. Nothing to make me think it's true. Sure someone probably already posted this like a bajillion times, but I'm to busy to research.

Who's got the real info. When's the ***goin' down, yo? There a link about this or what?

Begin trolling....

If it's like a server transfer then you lose everything you have at AH and in Delivery box (iirc). So I would doubt they would do it without announcing it first! Maybe we can keep our stuff in D box for the merge but I would highly doubt it.

I'm pretty sure it begins March 9th, or March 11th is the original date I heard.

From POL/FFXI website:
Quote:
- Suspension of the World Transfer Service
The World Transfer service will be suspended from Mar. 9, 2010 15:00 GMT until the World Merge is complete.

That's 10am EST btw.

So no, it's definitely not today.

It has not been announced yet. When it is announced you will be given links. People need to stop saying it is today or tomorrow. Updates always happen on Mondays it probably will not be until next week. Also you must remove everything from the AH and DB it has already been said that you will lose items that are not in your inventory or MH.

So let's see..

I've heard 9th, 10th, 22nd, 23rd, Mondays, and the only credible information for a date from actual POL news is "middle of march".

Maybe everyones right. FFXI UPDATES EVERYDAY UNTIL THE END OF TIME YAY!

Seriously guys, it's like the date for the update changes by the hour.. where do you people get this stuff. lol
I'm just excited that you'll be on Asura soon :D

I'm simply going by past updates. It always occurs on a monday. Since today is Monday and it's not today and they announced mid march I'd have to conclude that it is next Monday. And I'm not preaching that it is, but it is CLEARLY not this week as nothing at all has been announced on the website.

Wow, all this drama on the merger date. It's like the end of the world is coming.

I can't imagine what the threads will look like when December 2012 comes. It will be complete choas in here.

"Damn you SE! When is the end of the world? Will it be the 21st or the 23rd of December?"

I'm only annoyed because people are so impatient. This is like the third thread I've read about it being today or tomorrow. Who cares if it's tomorrow or next week? It will happen they didn't just say it to get everyone in an uproar and then be like "Psyche!".

There's a reason that most MMO and game companies say "when it's done." Because that's how these things work, and whining for a set date won't get you anything. Hell, Blizzard has a "when it's done" policy that's so famous, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 have been in that state for going on several years now.

that's because Blizzard's too busy making WoW expansions to keep up with current PC peripherals. (i seriously can't believe ANOTHER expansion is on the way for WoW)

In all seriousness though, it's only their 3rd expansion, and the game has been out for 7+ years now (I forget exact date). That's really not that crazy if you think about it.

I just realized I've been playing wow for over 6 years o.o

Haha I thought so too. I guess you can buy Beta keys and they're going for the most ridiculous amounts.

The original Everquest has 14 expansions and counting. As long as people keep buying them, there's no reason to stop.

Starcraft 2 is actually quite fun. Friends at Blizzard got me a beta copy.

"To streamline server maintenance and provide our users with a more unified gaming environment, the March version update will see the merger and integration of certain low-population Worlds."

So themerger is taking place when they do the update.As for the date they have not released the date of the update except saying mid march.

Ok so here is the thing regarding the merger.

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news18111.shtml

Originally, it had a phrase in it that implied that the merger was on March 9th, however SE has updated it since. Check the note at the bottom. The corrected it due to confusion.

The merger will happen soon (in March), but SE will let you know in advance just like all updates. They just haven't set the exact date yet.
