I take it we will not see messages saying that you couldn't be logged in to the server as it is overpopulated? I had plenty of times when that happened on the Red Eclipse when the server was far too populated (admittedly a few years ago now). This is the reason I go on the quiet servers, plus on the quieter servers you are actually able to complete heroics etc. without groups jumping in and taking what you are fighting for as a solo player. It does seem to me that this server merging will hurt the solo players the most. I would also like to add that as a European player my game time is going to be null and void for that day of the 12 hour patch and also on the following day when I get the chance to download, it does annoy me that you favour your US subscribers more. Perhaps in the future the European download can be done during night time hours and the US during their game time hours but the chances of that are slim to nothing.
