If SE does what's needed to relieve congestion in abyssea areas, I won't mind the merge as much... But I'm deeply saddened that I will be losing my name on the merge. :/ The people on Siren seem much like us though, so I'm not so concerned about drama or anything at least.

I doubt SE is going to stop the merge, but I would very much welcome them to keep things as they are. I'm happy with my server and the way it is right now.
