All:

Soon our server will be merged with others. This is a new opportunity to obtain new members and have others to group with and more Raid possibilities. The Merger information can be found at: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=175923

The FAQ's about the merger can be found at: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=176031

Some items that may cause some concern, but are not show stoppers:

What happens if two guilds with the same name end up on the same server?

The server of origin will be added to the guild name so all
guilds will keep their name but with the name of the server they
originated from. A guild of course has the possibility to get their
guild name changed again by sending an in-game petition.

What is happening with guild cities when guilds are moved to another server?

Guild cities will be moved to the same playfield and spot
it has been before. When necessary a new instance will be created. So
every merged guild will have access to the same guild city on the new
server.

What happens if several characters with the same name end up on the same server?

This depends on the following aspects and rules:

• Is the character on a still active account?
  
• If several characters of the same name are all from active accounts, the one with the higher level will keep his name.
  
• If merged characters have the same level, the one from an account
  which is registered on a longer time base will keep the name (so 3
  month recurring over 1 month recurring).
  
• If characters are from accounts with the same subscription recurring time, the last login will decide which one keeps the name.
  

The other(s) will be prompted a message at the first attempt to
log in with that character stating that a new name must be given to
this character.

None of the above should be of great concerns. Yes there may be some challenges, but the AoC leadership will be addressing these as they occur. However, there will be new opportunities for us to meet new people, join in more Raids, and have many others to have fun with and may even become Hammerfist Clan members as well. I myself look forward to this new phase of Age of Conan.

By Crom's will!

Hiya X and All,

Time to upgrade the village I think. Competition will be tough for new members and a T3 Keep would help a lot. We are currently on the T2 barracks and it is fairly easy to get from there to the T3 Keep.

I know that gathering resources is the most obnoxious part of the game. However, if we work on collecting Iron, Electrum, Granite and Yew as we wander the realms we should be there in no time with little game distraction.

Sal:
