Looks like Funcom is considering it:
http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=1979009#post1979009
A quote from Famine, a Funcom moderator: "There is nothing official yet on such a system but I think it's safe to say we are considering it. We do see the concerns in the community for needing it and that is something I have personally taken up with the dev-team in relation. If we receive any additional information on something like this then we will of course post it in the announcement section of the forums."
Just thought I'd update this: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=20442 When reading through this thread, pay close attention to how Famine states this is NOT going to happen, and how the dates are not that far back, either. |

Launched in May and server merges coming in Sepyember or October. Does not look good for the steaming pile of crap that AOC is. |

Merging them can be good for those who have poor levels in numbers on them and I think its the right way to go forward - screaming fail and POS the game is without saying why is OOO. |

Prancing around blindly throwing false praise doesn't help either. |

I think that the server merges are a very good idea. Hope is not lost for AoC. Anarchy Online had a horrible start too and it became a good game. It regained the respect of the fans and media. Hell PC Gamer even gave it mmorpg of the year one year. Will it ever have a huge amount of subscribers? Probably not, but they can have a very healthy(fairly large) population if they keep improving the game. The new Conan movie will probably draw in some new players also when it comes out.

You're confused. This is actually about the time most MMOs have server merges. If anything they have waited a bit long. Oh and that's not prancing. Prancing looks like |

Anyone who wants to go into outer space is not playing with a full deck! (Example: Richard Garriot) |
Originally posted by zymurgeist Uh... most of the (good) MMOs I've played either went several years before merging servers or they never merged at all. |

I was going to post the same thing. I can't remember any MMORPG I have played merging servers, let alone even considering doing it in the first 6 months. I'm not saying AoC is doomed if they do merge or anything, but this statement is just not true. |
