    That's why I said it could be for something like that in future whenever that could be. Look at it this way, we would need better servers to handle a server merge during and after.

    To be sure, since we are all on the outside, it's a reasonable assumption to make, of course. But I don't think updating hardware, the underlying DB Software, or even the OS would likely be required though. The way the overall database is structured is that the servers are, in essence, already merged, except that they are not, if that makes any sense. All our characters are in the same database but we have different labels to our home servers. Those home servers are really just partitions in the overall database, which is clustered over 28+ actual physical servers. Which of those belongs to what is just a label. A server merge, for the most part, is just changing those labels. There would be some changes needed to Nexon's software, of course: like how the bank and dressing room work, or how the login session marshalling code on the login server works, but most of the changes would require just changing values stored in the database itself.

    Has there been anything from official sources about a server merger with regards to this maintenance? Or is this speculation based on the fact that it's a 12-hour maintenance that involves server upgrades? If so, I mean, sure it could be, but it could also be, say, preparing the server to handle an upgraded server-side Mabinogi to take on more services from the client to limit hacking more.

    Just Katherz in all caps saying "NO THIS IS NOT A SERVER MERGE JEEZ".

    But no one is saying that this is not preparation for it. :]

    If I have to be merged with a server I left in the first place, I quit.

    But yes, 12 hours waiting, pretty fun.

    Get over it or don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

    someone has skeletons in their closet XD
    your with a new character now though so just be cool with old rivals. block them if you must :D
    everyone can be toxic online because they feel secure behind a desk. theres a name change function coming to mabi if your worried about it :D

    don't be discouraged by the past! ^.^

    3 and a half hours until said finished time.
    So it's time to either go to lunch, dinner, or take a nice long nap.

    Exactly. He's talking about Korea not NA. The two things to note here are: (1) he says "at this time" this says it is possible to do although they are choosing not to (2) the decision to implement it is based on whether the demand for it outweighs the demand to keep things as they are. So, at the campfire last year, when they brought up the topic of a server merge, were there more boos or yays?

    I thought I heard a couple boos in the far off distance from all the yays. Probably seal breaker holders. Hue.

    Which honestly I already suggested that when and if we do a server merge those original seal breakers should be given "First Seal breaker of [insert seal stone] (from [insert server] if they decide to merge all servers lol)" titles. I mean we know they have the ability to give out custom titles, that's a simple solution to those FEW disgruntled players right there.

    But yeah, they don't speak for our region. We have a different and WAY smaller playerbase. Honestly I would love to be able to play with people I know from other servers.

    Not trying to steal from FF14, but what about server visiting? Vist other servers by the use of the traveler's guide menu.

    This has also been suggested.
