Yes! :D
Now I don't have to worry about a polarized server or the race to the next boss and just relax with my guild and go back to enjoying the game. I don't have to worry about scraping the bottom of the barrel for recruitment. I don't have to worry if people are not going to show up to my next rp event. Thank you Carbine! I'm so glad I can stop stressing. Thank you so much. <3
 
Now ...names *goes off to ponder*	
----
			It amuses me that 8 minutes ago I got an e-mail from Carbine telling me megaservers are next week. Guess their newsletter system is extra slow. xD	
----
			I saw the Twitter feed for the announcement. I haven't received an email yet.

The email does have a bit of an error in the title. The text body is accurate and says "this week".
 
I've put this up in official forums as well, but please use the existing megaserver thread for any megaserver feedback. :)	
----
			
Will do Anlath.  Feel free to close.
 
I saw the email, didn;'t see any posts, and posted this. 
 
Technically though, you should clsoe your thread and just use this one, since I made this one first!
 
 
No?
 
Darn, okay!	
----
			If it really is going live this week, that bodes well for the overall timeframe of 3/4 with all the fixes/updates.	
----
			
Haha, mine's just to duplicate the news post in N&A (standard process) but I don't feel the need to lock this just yet, as it can be for excitement as well.
 
Just want folks to know that any *feeeedback* needs to go in the main thread. Feel free to be excited here. ;)	
----
			
*cheers* :D
 
Ha!..Only two days left to say goodbye to the Lightspire Server and hello to Mega-Jabbit!
 
.. I have this weird feeling I should harvest feverishly before the merge everything I can harvest from our server.. (*grabs kitchen sink*)
Maybe even do some quick rare-monster hunting & achievements.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Actually, see ya Thursday! :)
 
Servers will be down for 12-24 hours for this.

From the website regarding the announcement of megasever (and this part should make everyone a happy player with extreme dancing and wild parties where even the Chua get invited):
 
"This is not standard maintenance, so in appreciation for your patience while we make this transition, we are giving a month’s worth of Boom-Boxes (One per day for 30 days) and a free day of game time to all our players, with the additional time to be credited to accounts by no later than the end of October."

My body is ready!

			I'm excited, but also bummed about surnames. I've had the same character name for over a decade. A simple 4 letter name. Not sure wtf I'll use as a last name. I wish there wasn't a character limit because I was honestly just going to do 1 letter for the surname until I heard that.

			24hrs downtime to force my last alt to Stormtalon...zzz

			Are the surnames for the whole server, like swtor legacy? or are they per character?

			Surnames are indeed the worst part of this. 3rd name lucky for my character? Whispering/inviting/FINDING friends will be a pain in the arse.	
----
			Very important for us to know. Will the raids be reset on the wednesday when megaservers hit or continue from tuesday? Please answer as it's pretty important for us to know. 	
----
			
Best news I could hope to have on a Monday morning!
 
Here's some more good news:  ThaydFest is going to happen for everyone on the NA PvE server now, and not just Evindra :)	
----
			YES!!! A full day of downtime for absolutely nothing to change! Score!

Hello Razhork!
 
Cougar replied to that on Reddit. Raids will be reset on Tuesday and when megaservers will hit on Wednesday (or Thursday, depending on where you are/how long the maintenance lasts etc.)

Please don't reply to official WildStar matters by referring to a third party website. He came to the WildStar forums to get a WildStar response. Not everyone monitors social media.

i feel like getting a red response is fairly official

Reddit is not wildstar-online.com. I've never reddited nor do I plan on it. The only reason I use twitter is for streaming.

Doesn't have to be a surname.
 
Go for Master [YournameHere] or Lord/Lady [Yournamehere] or [Yournamehere] Jenkins.

that doesnt make the people giving the information any less official. i prefer official forums as well, but to discredit something just because of where it was given and not by who it was given seems a bit harsh
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Can one deduce that since this is the case for raids ELDER GEMS also reset?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Sounds likely.

			@cougarDC Will the megaservers help the PvP Q times? Right now the average time for a Q in almost 20 minutes and the lower levels are seeing 50+ right now :(

			Hmm, I never received an e-mail about this. I checked my junk folder and everywhere else I could think but nothing. Kinda strange because I have gotten them from all the past updates. Did anyone else get left out?	
----
			Since megaservers are being implemented this week I went ahead and re-subbed. I figured I'd give the game another chance. Besides I don't want to lose my toon or it's name. I know I will have to start another toon to re-learn everything. Will see how it goes.	
----
			
maybe in strong contrast.... Why? I actually quit wow because of the overcrowding and immature players and behavior. I do understand having more people to interact has it's advantages, but a lot of people turn *cupcake* as soon as they feel they are anonymous enough to get away with it.
 
Of course I really really hope I'm wrong about this, but if this game turns toxic or lagfest I will have to find something else to play really really soon

			just so im clear. All low level alts, (lvl 1 & 2) are being deleted on merge. Does this mean i need to lvl all my alts to lvl 3 or is just logging in as them and logging back out at lvl 1 enough to keep them from being deleted?

Actually open the email. Mine had same subject line, "Starting next week", but in the body of the email it changes to "this week". Guess in the excitement that it was ready to go they forgot to update the subject line. 
 
Might had thought they were ready sometime last week but something could have came up last minute to force a pushback. 
----
			Can't wait! Would be neat to get a title for the server you're still on, just so I can say I stayed on (insert dead server name here) till the end! Cause it is some sort of accomplishment (example, getting to expert research on all trades Alone (have to gather it all yer self), making decent/excellent gear Alone (cause yeah, can't buy them). kill world bosses Alo-yeah not really).

			Don't we already kinda have "mega server" tech now?  I mean most people are all on one server now except for the RP people on Evindra and the hardcore raid guilds on Avatus
