I wonder how they will handle the server names after the merges.
Will the login server names be listed like they were in EQ1 showing both former names?
Will toons be running around with "of [server]" after their names?
It may seem silly to some but I chose my starting server name because I LIKED it better than the others and because it brought back fond memories of my time in EQ1.
The server I am being merged with has a name that I would NEVER have picked because I dont want to be associated with the name.
This IS a game so these choices can take on a more unrealistic importance than actual RL choices should. These choices all contribute to your personal sense of roleplaying and fun.
Oh yeah ... I hope I can keep my main toons name. In roleplaying you tend to identify with it after awhile.
Just my 2c worth.
