    The Grand Server Merge Event

    Hello Auraxians,
    After the recent EU server merge we’ve seen lots of players enjoy the increased population on the maps in Auraxis. We now shift our focus to the NA servers.

    We are pleased to announce that the NA Server Merge between Connery and Emerald will happen April 8th.

    To celebrate both EU’s and NA’s server merges from last year and this year, we are hosting a two part server merge event! Read the details below and learn how you can vote for your EU and NA server names. That right, we heard our Cobalt community and decided to have Miller renamed as well.

    Be sure to read carefully to learn about fun exclusive rewards for participating in these events!

    Part 1 | Final Fight on Connery, Emerald & Miller


    Date: MARCH 28th - MARCH 30th


    Details
    Play PlanetSide 2 during the date above as the faction that represents the new server name you’d like to have for the NA and EU servers. (See the server names below)
    Upon event completion the faction with the most map control captures throughout the whole weekend will have the winning new server name.


    Server Name Roster

    New names are bad, especially the EU ones. Why not just give the option of Old Name 1 / Old Name 2 / New Name so the community of the servers got something to fight for they care about

    What about a Banner for Briggs
  4. NEXCE

    What on earth are these NAMES!!!!!

    Planetside 1 EU was "WERNER" (So not going to bring any PS1 players now as theres no reason to fight for it)
    Planetside 1 Final server was "GEMINI" (Also not going to bring any PS1 players now as theres no reason to fight for it)

    Then you don't even have "MILLER" or "COBALT" to fight to keep or revert to Cobalt.

    Who's made this decision.

    Can't wait for the merge but less intensity now

    NSO's are not get any representation on server naming. We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life. :(

    Hope CSR's are covering the events because I fear hackers may try to ruin it!!!!

    Don't click that video link, it's a scam.

    Let me think.

    Let's say 200 people log onto Connery on 1 team... Wouldn't they swing the name easy without Emerald having a dent. lol

    Is this going to be measured like outfit resources, where holding territory is actually worth something, or is it just to be based solely on captures making the optimal strategy trading territory back and forth as fast as possible?

    Mithril, would it be possible to choose which server to migrate to. I would like to move some characters from Connery to Miller. I leveled up my emerald alternative characters already and don't necessarily need 2 NSO and 2 NC char on the new NA server. I would like to move them to Miller. Main reason is because I have have made good progress towards unlocking auraxium weapons on those characters, while on emerald I have unlocked the auraxium weapons I want. Perhaps you can sell the auraxium bundle for 1 character unlock at a steep price.

    Where will the new combined NA server be located?

    Unfortunately not, however if we have future plans to permit something like this we'll be sure to let everyone know in our news and announcements.

    US server should be called Gemini. The end. Fits perfect.

    I've got my main vs on Emerald, and an alt relatively new vs on Connery. What'll happen?
  15. vlaamseleeuw

    i think the majority of the community agrees that these names are not going to work.
    let the winning faction do a vote at the end of the event and include the old names of all servers in the vote.
    voting can be done here, or true the news letter feedback, or any way you guys see fit.
    please take this into consideration.

    Thought about this after a few days. I do not really care about the server name, like at all. But I sure hope you are centralizing the servers location for everyone's latency sake. Because the US has almost twice the landmass distance then the EU.

    Could you please give the community more information about the location of the Merged Server? US-EAST would decimate the Aussie's and Kiwi's that play on Connery from Oceania as the ping is too high for them to US-EAST.

    There is a solution, and it's simple. Check the details below.


    This is absolutely correct. Among the last standing PlanetSide 1 servers were Gemini (US) and Werner (EU) as history would have it. Daybreak was previously informed of this detail amidst the Cobalt / Miller merge circa October 29th 2024 of last year.

    I even took the liberty to dig up a few posts to prove it. The facts are in.


    What is the official Daybreak response five months later, as of today? --- Six arbitrary server names which no one asked for.
