i was just wondering when will server be up
why has it taken 2+ months for transfer are u guy working 1/2 a day

just stating that this server should of been 90% ready before u even shutted down the other shards maybe something to think about for next time

well hope u guys finish soon i will check it out and see if it was worth the wait

I was on staff when the decision was considered and made for INR to merge with XUO and suffice to say there is a lot of planning and thought that goes into things behind the scenes. It has taken a long time because:

Maka got tangled up in unforeseen real life issues, which always take precedence over UO.
Devs pledge a commitment to work and then flake out, leaving progress limited.

...I hope you don't feel like i'm talking down to you, but these things have been mentioned in a number of other threads, and in general i just find it quite degrading and disrespectful for people to generally accuse the administration of doing a bad job, as if they could have done better.
