How do you feel about mergers?

[catpella]

Many of our homes in SWTOR have been changed around with the new server transfers. Did you move? How do you feel about the consolidations? Do you hate the queues? Did you lose names or chars? And where is everyone based now?

My guild decided to move from Sanctum of the Exalted to Ebon Hawk, so I followed. I got super, super lucky -- none of my main characters' names were taken, and I was able to keep my awesome Legacy name.

I think I'll enjoy the soft merger? I still need to reconnect with my guild, but more people means easier pick-up groups and a more vibrant market, so I'm down.

It looks like I'm moving to Ebon Hawk after all. Haven't moved my mains yet, but I was able to move an alt and claim my legacy name, which is the only one I'm really attached to. So maybe I'll see you around the server!

My friends/guilds finally moved, since they've made it clear it's not optional, which means I finally moved.

I now play Republic on Begeren Colony. (Had to rename one of my grouping characters, so eh. Who knows, maybe the name change will help. *not holding breath*) And Empire on Ebon Hawk. (Had to rename Kyrian to Ky'rian, which still falls into the *shrug* category of things. And I'll have to come up with a new Legacy name there, which is okay as the first was halfway a joke anyway.)

I still think they've handled this weirdly. If you're going to do a server merge and shut down, just say so.

Since this is actually possible now, if any one does run into me and I ignore them that is because either I'm having social issues (people are scary!) or I completely missed that someone tried to talk to me. My apologies in advance.
