How long will the merge take?
So I am curious how long do you think the merge will take? Given NA's track history and the fact that this merge is going to start on a monday. I think the game is going to be down for a substantial amount of time. Definitely going to be longer than 12 hours, I could tell by the look on Katherz face during the announcement that this is going to be super LONG. Like longer than when Iria was released, and that took days. People go absolutely insane when this game is down longer than 5 hours. Will you have your popcorn ready? Because there are going to be some belligerent players.
Place your bets!

Hell no. There is going to be at least several weeks of clean up after the merge goes through. Tickets upon tickets of stuff missing and other crap.
I imagine there are going to be shifts for something like this and if everything goes smoothly - they will have a scheduled time during business hours that the server will become open again. But not before a bleep ton of testing.

I'm curious to see how many tickets and problems arise after the maint. I'm a little nervous, but I'm assuming they have a plan in place to deter any data loss. I hope.
I will wait for karma to hit these people who pissed at Alexina all these past 2 weeks. I'm telling you, something ugly WILL happen after the merge and i'm ready to get amusement of it.
I think they will throw in the towel after 2 days. XD

And here is Pan's troll everyone.

I just read em, and move on. It doesn't work on me anymore. You should ignore too.
It shouldn't continue on rampant.

I feel like it'll take 3 days though.
Is there going to be another vote on Alexit for Alexina leaving the NAO?
If they manage to anticipate everything, other than name theft, guild stone spot loss, and certain other issues, it could go smoothly. Although Katherz said it will take longer than 12 hours, this could just be CYA. From the outside looking in, the actual action to make the merge could take 8 hours, but even then, it doesn't end there. They have to run a data comparison with the 3-server backup, to ensure no losses of data, and perform other tests including logging into the server before it goes live.
On the other hand, if they miss something, then they have to:
1. realize that they missed something,
2. find what they missed,
3. determine if they can fix the consequences from what they missed,
4. finally they have to fix what they missed. If that involves a "do over" well there's the time needed doubled.
Up to 3-4 weeks with maybe double the maintenance's of 2-5 hours to get the engine running properly.
Pan I swear to god knock that BLEEP off.

That's the payoff for them; don't feed the trolls.
