Server merges- one year later...Follow

Cazic Thule and Brell Serilis was a shaky merge at first. The Brell people complained 24-7 about losing their server. A lot of the Cazic people told them to go back then.

Time heals all wounds though. (Ten seconds for a complete heal.) The two servers have merged into one and we had the same differences in jargon.

Example:
+5 Aug to Wis.
In.
Out.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.

Out? In? Just say pass if you don't want it.

We random 500 1000 to set seed, then roll, no doubt due to the belief in people being able to cheat. Brellians (as they sometimes call themselves) like to roll D6 and assign alphabetically.

What made our merger complete was the folding of a great many guilds from both sides and absorption of CT people in Brell guilds and vice versa. After a year, I would certainly call it a success.

The main differences between the E'ci people and the Tunare people are:
1) Tunareans used to MGB at the Nexus Stone... E'ci people at the MB
2) Most people from Tunare I know do /ran 1 1000, most people from E'ci I group with do /ran 1 32000 (even though I dont really get that)
But it was a good merge... at first everyone was like fighting about whos server was better. lol

On MT...was merged to EMarr, unfortunately.
Easier to find a group....if you're 65plus...if you ain't, you don't, unless you're guilded.

Also, EMarr seems to have an inordinately high number of rude kids playing....times when you'd expect kids to be home, snow days, Xmas vacation, etc, the rude factor jumps. Seriously annoying.

/em waits for Vanguard....and hopes. <sigh>

I had no issues with The Rathe merge with Karana until one night in PoK I witnessed a serious, heated argument over general about who was better, those from Rathe or those from Karana. The mind bendingly powerful idiocy that I witnessed during that exchange left me with no choice but to claw out both my eyes and now I am left with a trained monkey to do all my typing.

I wasn't there for that arguement. Shucks!

Actually the merge has done some good things and also a few bad things. I have had 3 or 4 different guilds that were active then poof pretty much dead. However I am happy in the family guild that my main is in now. I wear my 'of the Rathe' tag for now but that may go away. The funny part is noone has ever said anything about it.

I like the idea of a /ran 5 555 since it is way easier to hit 5 then then 1 then 0.

I haven't played since pre-merge, but I played on Terris Thule. I logged in a few times right after WoW and Eq2 were released and our population was way down. Since then I simply have not had time to play any MMO's.

i was originally on cazic thule and then brell came over. was wierd at first cause like i use to solo alot and then people would be there and i'd call a camp check and appearently brell people didn't knwo we had camps so it was hard at first seeing who was doing what in the zone cause they wouldn't even reply you had like 15 people in the zone and no one was killing anything it seemed like.

next thing is the guilds like all the highend guilds people left, joined them and some disbanded all together there were like 4 or 5 high end guilds on cazic (not sure how many on brell) but now one year later there is like 5 total that raids all the content and has forces to do the new content and they are full/not recruiting any classes.

or if they are they want 70 with 1000 aa's or something like that and all thier flags so they don't have to help you.

moving on to grouping the first few months were cool.... now it kinda sucks 40-65 is hell for grouping cause like 40's is where alts stop being played and 65 is where mains are played. just a real pain to level to 65 or 70 now on this server.

in truth it was probably a good merge but having a 70 druid, 70 warrior, 55 enchanter, and like a 15 shaman i've started leveling i find this server now kinda sucks for the casual player looking for groups.
