It was going to happen sooner or later to the ill-fated offering of Age of Conan from Funcom. First scheduled to happen in early December of yesteryear the merge of US server Bloodspire and Hyperborea is going ahead today.

The previously scheduled merge was postponed due to a data issue that could have potentially caused items to disappear in the merging process.

Servers will be down starting around 7:00 a.m. EST (or 12 p.m. GMT) for about six hours whilst the merge can be carried out. For further information on how this could affect you, the FAQ forum threads are on hand.
