November’s update is here and with it comes a lot of goodies, like Wildmound Cradle in Silent Plains, a refresh on the Wizard class, new boss encounters and much more.
Along with the update comes server merges. Our community has raised valid concerns that it has been difficult to find groups in some level ranges on some servers. As more and more players return to the game, or try it for the first time, we have opted to make grouping options more available by combining some servers.
Veil of Azeris and Blackmoon will be merging into Stormona. Ossari and Bakamel will be merging into Havensong.
No level 1 characters will be moved.
A server merge means duplicate names. Duplicate character names will be appended with either a number or an X (or multiple x’s depending on how many of that character name exist).
Each character can be renamed once using the new /rename command. Simply type /rename followed by the new name. If the command fails due to a name already in use, it will not count as your single use allowance per character.
If you run into any issues, please open a support ticket.
The full patch notes on today’s release can be found on our Patch Notes page. The server downtime starts at 11am PST and is expected to last approximately 5 hours.
