I'm with Dante on this, you can tell I've been shafted already with my forum name (especially irritating since the other player doesn't seem to use the forums at all).
Merged server list? not high on my list of things they should be doing, and I'm 99% sure my global will be lost to me tomorrow 
.
Been here as Overload since EU beta, not looking forward to logging on after the list merge.

How did you guys find out that your global is bing used on the NA servers? Did you get an email?

I'll be completely honest, I don't. But my global is not an uncommon name online, plenty of people use it and when globals went live, I considered myself very lucky to grab it. The chances of there not being a collision with an NA account is, IMHO, tiny. So I'm preparing for the worst, especially as seniority is not even a consideration.|

If by some miracle I manage to retain it after the merge, I will be both gobsmacked and a lot happier.

And I'm in the same boat. I know there is a player with @Tyger as I couldn't have the same global when I started my US account and in the early days of the AE I kept getting his feedback on my account EU-side.
So I couldn't care less either. If some miracle-happenstance changes that I'd probably be happier but atm it's the last straw.

Which lube you using, i've gone for the industrial strength super smooth oil and also went all out and got fragrance version. No harm in having a nice smell whilst they stick it to me.

I've never been one for the fancy things, so I went for some cheap lube from the pound shop. Although given the scale of the shaft I'm beginning to regret not going for something more expensive. |

I have a feeling that its going to hurt.
Ready for the biggest shaft...
Midday to Midnight UK time.
1PM -> 1AM Central Europe.
Not only do we get @Global ly shafted and EU forced clashing accounts (Even vs inactive trials!) but they hit us during peak time too!
They could of been fair to us Europeans and done it during NA peak times 
(Yes, that was my being sarcastic. 
)
Oh and priority heads up after the merger...
Careful who you mail your own inf and items to @globally as it may not be yourself! 
Nuff Said...
Coolio Wolfus leader of Coolio�s Crusaders on Union.
Tekna Logik leader of Tekna�s Tormentors on Defiant.
Creator of: Coolio's Tech Beacon Replacements
AE arc 402506, 'The Rise and Demise or Otherwise of Tekna Logik...'.
maybe send a /pet asking them to be gentle with you, but really it's gonna be strap the leathers on, hold onto the hand rails and brace for impact. If you've not got the expensive oils I would strongly suggest investing in a extra padded stuffed with duck feathers cushion, at least then you can nurse the wounds back gently.

This is good advice guys, if we relax the shaft will be easier to take. Maybe I'll get by on that cheap lube afterall.
Mind you we should all be used to it by now, they have been gradually shafting us for a while now in preperation for the major shafting.
Heck if King Kong came and shafted me right now I wouldn't feel it

Yep. Instead of creating a list of 15 servers for you to choose from, they could just shut down the EU servers and tell you to reroll on the NA servers. |

I sincerely hope the poor NA person with @Dante as their Global knows what they're letting themselves in for!
They'll be forever confused with the famous EU dancing Dante
I really hope that they decide to change so our EU @Dante can keep his global.
Also, a farewell to all my EU friends about to lose their Global names:
@Beet : @Bunny : @Crimson Archer : @Dante : @Eleven : @Elizabeth Bathory : @Gangrel : @Lucius : @Night : @Omega Chief : @Q. : @Romanov : @Shadow Phoenix : @Tyger
Help Dirk Knightly the freelance detective solve a case in Arc ID:368097

One thing is for sure.. the amound of shafting after this will be very small indeed. We only need our clients merged so all serials can be used on all versions... then its even harder to shaft EU.
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Oh don't bet on it. After the list merge we can look forward to New & Improved Shafting v2. I hear it's based on i13 PvP. |

Kall, that's a horrible long list. Global chat is going to be... awful for a while. This whole affair is becoming deeply depressing.
