Other than personal experience we're in a total vacuum. I've been on the west coast server forever and SS feels dead as dirt to me, like never before, but we have no idea what BW's metrics are. We don't know what situation would necessitate a server merge, it's all entirely speculative. Whatever's discussed here has zero impact on that potentiality, that's a fact. I do hope it happens though, and naming conflicts and other complications be damned. SS is a graveyard, it's sad and lame and not sustainable at its current trajectory.
