Server Merge

[DarkStaoneDragon]

After reading this I got concerned. Not about just population but names. See my name is unique but my wife is concerned her name could be taken on another server.
How would this work? The account that is active would get to keep the name? Also houses and FC's if there isn't enough room for FC/Personal houses would the server that gets merged be left out? Server mergers happen in every MMO that I have played.

Also this part of the world transfer info page it says this in the disclaimer:
With the introduction of the World Transfer Service, there may be cases where players are requested to transfer to other Worlds due to fluctuations in population. We may also consider the splitting or merger of Worlds. Because of this, there may be instances where players who have used the World Transfer Service are requested to move to a different World. Please note that in such cases, applications for World transfers cannot be canceled or refunded.

How do you think it would be handled right now my wife and I are on one of the lower tier housing servers so if our server gets merged we are risk of losing names,FC and personal house plots due to lack of room.
how do you think they should handle names? Like I said I think the one that is the most active should get priority over taken names.
I know it may not happen anytime soon but it will happen look at FFXI.
