These, and a couple of other nearby threads make the following clear:
All items in the db will get new ID's - programs like CS and AOIA will be toast initially
All backpacks will get new ID's - will be zero chance of labels moving with backpacks
Copying preference folder data - even if you map old ID directory names correctly to the new ones, will be mostly a waste. Most F10 info will migrate, but that's about it, and Macrosun doesn't recommend.
Appears the only 'clean' option is to let the new folders populate themselves and you manually re-setup *everything* for each char after server merge.

Not giving them back until you play again
Re: Some (annoying) things to know about servers merge !
I wish there was a way for old players to log in just to get their names/etc in order (for instance ... there WAS a Doctorhyde on RK1 that was older than me, but inactive for close to a decade now). Hopefully they toss out a free month soon.
Anyway for inactive players to know if they lost their names?

Re: Some (annoying) things to know about servers merge !
not until you log in.
The toon is "inactive" for as long as you don't log in.
Once you log in you'll "activate" it.
Then it exists. Until then though, there is no !whois doctorhyde or !alts add doctorhyde
It'll just return "this character does not exist"

Nooba got the longer version of the explanation right

We're literally broke at the moment, I'm on disability for the forseeable future, and even without that downloading the game and then patching up is a fair hassle.enakur wrote:Hyde... just pay one month...
I might see about rolling placeholder fr00bs and then deleting them and taking their names ... anyone know if that will work (as in, someone willing to test)?
Re: Some (annoying) things to know about servers merge !
Yes you can create a froob, and when you want to get it on a paid account you can delete the froob.
Re: Some (annoying) things to know about servers merge !
Hrm. I rolled a fr00b account and ... Doctorhyde, Hyde (which I didn't own, though I think someone snagged it for me ... maybe Mud) and Jexyll were all taken.
Hyde, I could see easily, as I never owned it.
Doctorhyde, wait a minute, someone has to be messing with me personally ...
But Jexyll?
I think they reserved names. No clue what their methodology is.
I'll create a new fr00b and see what I can see. I might bug someone for an org add if I can locate one of you.

Re: Some (annoying) things to know about servers merge !
I had Hydefu on both RK1 and RK2 ... and one of them is deactivated but with a random name, the other has the name reserved. So they definitely did do something to reserve names. I guess I'll have to pay a month to find out if I lost my name.
