We're patching right now.
The data that will be merged is a snapshot of earlier when Live went down for a short period.
Any changes made to your character right now on Live will not reflect how they will look on Testlive.

Did you get them some of those pointy hats? They seem to help with doing such magic.

go macrosun + vhab and all the other less known wizards !
we love you
OK, so is testlive at this moment getting its 'cloned' look, with a respite before it gets 'merged' or is the actual 'merge' happening right now on the testlive server. Also, how long does that merge process take? I seem to recall Means once talking in terms of days to process new stuff into all playfields.

when merge happens it happens on the fly your character gets qued to go into the server should be quite smooth : ) transition.
this is basicly a dry run with live data it cant get better then this
tbh, the test server is that, but hey can take that copy and move it to the new server(s).'
Genele's been the game director post Lindelu leaving. Whether or not she used the title on forums, another story.

1) My understanding was that *every* char gets automatically processed into the new merged db, jsut that anyone trying to actively log on gets bumped to the head of that queue. Left on its' own, the process should still merge all chars in in time.
2) Hopefully, all the relevant ppl still working in positions of authority at AO are spending the time while the testlive merge runs to write up some nice explanations about the state of the game etc. (hopefully the same is happening at AoC and TSW).

We've never done this before. It's not supposed to take "days," but it's conceivable that issues keep coming up. This is why we decided to just go ahead and clone Live, so we are guaranteed anything we find will be solved and documented before we push the update to Live.
Yeah i misunderstood that first, producer and director ^^
Im excited about things still rolling
No idea how the character slot numbers will look like, have we heared anything related to that ?

Means was awesome, he was the game producer (Italiya) and game director (Genele)
He's been gone a year'ish now. I will always remember his parting gift as a month or two of SL yalmahazor
Hm got a little technical question:
When merging the DBs has completed, do you have a means (no pun intended) to automatically verify the integrity of all the char data of both source DBs? Ie. compare the char prior to and after the merge? Just wondering, seems that quite a large set of scripts would be required to merge everything over.
