EverQuest to Merge Servers

Not that it’s surprising, but server merges are official hitting EQ for the second time in its lifespan.  Given the game is now 11 years old, that’s not too shabby.  Here’s the official list:

Stromm - Luclin

Drinal - Maelin

Xegony - Druzzil

Tribunal - Bristlebane

Fennin Ro - Cazic Thule

Saryrn - Bertoxxulous

Seventh Hammer - Tunare

Prexus - The Rathe

Quellious - Povar

Erollisi Marr - Nameless

Player with duplicate names will have an X added to the end of their name for the player whose character was created more recently and be offered a free name change.  This policy can be a bit of a bummer if you’re losing your name to a level 24 who hasn’t logged in since 2000, but it is what it is.

There will also be free server transfers available for seven days after your server has been merged.  I’d expect there will be some player shuffling going on.
