Is there any way we can just not do the merge thing?

I don't know, a lot of people felt uneasy about the last server merge. But...I didn't really notice any drastic changes. Things felt the same as they did before the merge to me.

Then again, I'm in Asura and don't have to contend with any such merge this time around.

Same here. Asura has a decent amount of people on it.

As for the merger, I guess to keep the game open and to prevent overcrowding on their main servers, they figure they'll overcrowd us lol Not really a big deal for me, but if I was in an affect server, I'd probably not have a problem with it since maybe things I try to buy at AH will be there instead of me having to wait 2+ hours for a drop.

I have no problem with the concept of server merges. THe name thing is the only part that bugs the hell out of me. IMO, if two characters share the same name the system should "flip a coin" as to which one keeps it rather than force the immigrating pop to change. And if an account hasn't been active in 3 years, they definitely shouldn't keep their name over an active player.
