Age of Conan Game Director Craig Morrison has written a letter to the
community explaining the reasons for recent problems with last week's planned
server merges, and informing players that the merges will continue in
January.

With the announced start of the server merge process not quite having gone as
planned I wanted to take AOC time
card the time today to speak to you all explain where we are at
with the merge process and what the schedule looks like.

Basically, on Wednesday when we came to do the first live merges we
encountered an issue with the structure of our data that we hadn’t found or
experienced during testing. This issue caused there to be a risk, on some
servers, under specific age
of conan cdkey circumstances, of items having non-unique identifiers in our
database. This in turn might have lead to some cases of player’s items not
surviving the merge.cdkey shop It didn’t
happen at all during our testing, and may have age of conan time card
been (in the scale of all players and all items in the game) a possibly rare
occurrence. However this was not an area where the team and I were willing to
take any risks with whatsoever.

This is also exactly why we decided not to announce all the merge schedules
in advance and to ensure we could do them in a live environment first before we
went ahead with all AOC
cdkey the merges. While it is never ‘nice’ to have your contingency plans
called into action, this approach has meant we caught a potential issue before
it could possibly affect people’s actual game experience.
