Server merging

[Mirage]

There are probably thousands of legitimately created characters that aren't in use anymore but just happen to take up names that are currently used on other servers. It's not always intentional although some are. They blocked character creation for merging servers before they announced the merge last time, though.

Not really there was a day long window where you could still make a char on any server so some stealing still happened.

As for 6 man content the players got down and begged for 6 man groups and to do less with alliance content so SE gave the payers what they wanted.

Then we have VW, even with increased numbers filling a alliance for old and boring content will still be hard. With how much the items go for and still people don't want to really do it.
