EverQuest II producer Holly Longdale has posted the most recent state of the game letter on the official forums. In it, Longdale gives players the first information about server consolidation and indicates that this is not "evasive language" but that it is the approach of Daylight Game Studio.
We think our best path is to consolidate some lower population servers into a new server and build a brand new server community from those players.
Those players moving will get a title naming their original server that can be worn with pride! And we will run a vote for the servers being consolidated to choose a new name for the new server based on the recent submissions we've had. We don't know which servers yet, but that's our next task.
In addition, the team is hard at work on the next campaign update and is currently in the bug squashing stage. According to Longdale, the update is on track for fall deployment, with the prelude events starting as early as September.
