If this is true, DB is following the first kick in the nethers of FG with another one. https://massivelyop.com/2019/04/16/...sion-server-to-its-live-antonia-bayle-server/
How is anyone surprised by this? The exact same thing happened to Stormhold. On Fallengate 2 nights ago had a wopping 21 people if you /who all. Of course the server was going to get merged with live.
Not surprised by the move to merge it. Just question the choice to do so with AB. Would have been better for the players to merge it into a server that is more populated, because it's doubtful the incoming accounts will make a substantive difference to the population on AB.
I think AB is just going to be the graveyard for dead TLE servers. At least until all of live is merged into 1 server.
Did you read the announcement on the EQ2 site? You know, the one that had this in the FAQ: Q: Will there be free character transfers off of Fallen Gate before the merge? A: Character transfer tokens will be handed out to all characters on Fallen Gate on April 16, 2019.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention - I did not read the faq. So basically, all the accounts that don't take the token will be transferred to AB, which reinforces Zenji's comment. Eh. It is indeed positive that FG players are given an option to transfer to a server of their choice.
The real surprise here is they didn't have to wait a year like SH did. The only real benefit here I see is to be able to persist the cash items you may have bought to a live server. The time to level someone past FG in live is very, very minimal.
