can we get a reboot or something? Hey how about a NEW ARADUNE Jr. and Merge them back when Kunark Lauches.
You trust them to do a merge when they royally screwed up the last batch? That's likely the reason why they don't want to create an Aradune Jr .. merges aren't easy, and they have a track record of not doing them well. It's obvious their hardware is on a budget or at least limited by 20+ year old netcode, but if money is an issue, I doubt they have the resources to employ a DBA who has the skills to ensure those database merge mistakes don't happen again.
tried three times, from the character select screen going to the zone in, got disconnected each time after I had selected my character.
