I'm so excited! How long does the merging process typically last?

There's no way to tell. Usually merges take a good part of the day, then for the next few days the server is fairly unstable and goes up and down a lot.

This time, however, things are probably going to take a lot longer. I imagine there are some extra backup precautions being taken, and a new navmesh system to load. All of that will add hours and hours to the down time.

I have my fingers, toes, and a few other "random" body parts all crossed to send the server some good luck. Hopefully it comes up soon, its starting to hurt a little

Very excited for this update. This will definitely go down as one of Basilisk's most historic and memorable moments. This update will be very exciting for a lot of people. I know Jedi being in the game comes with its own set of issues, but there's no doubt that the first handful of months after Publish 9 will be a blast (and hopefully well beyond). I'll be playing Sonic Mania while I wait. =)

I would love to disagree with this, but since you didn't specially say "one of the best moments" (at which point I would have pointed out other moments that could surpass this one) I have no choice but to agree with you.

Though, I like to think that the biggest reason this is so memorable as you want to call it, is not solely because of Jedi (although that plays a big factor) but because there was so much at stake here since the server just as easily could be wiped. There is no shortage of people that want this server to be wiped, just like there is no shortage of people that want Jedi to be on the server. The wipe will lead to players leaving, but also people coming, and implementation will lead to some people coming back. No matter which way it goes, lots of people will be happy and a not-so-small amount of people will be disappointed or pissed.

(Funny how literally no one has commented on the fact that Corvettes are going to be in)

...and a new navmesh system to load.

What is this and what does this do for the project? It sounds like it does something.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_mesh

an abstract data structure used in artificial intelligence applications to aid agents in pathfinding through complicated spaces.

Sounds like improved pathing of NPCs and mobs.

Dear goodness, I hope this stops the Tuskens at the fort from running through and shooting through walls.

As long as everything runs smoothly it will be up within the next 24-48 hours but not sure how long they will have it locked.

ecp, a navmesh is what aids mobs in pathing. It lets the bad guys go around a rock, for instance, instead of through (or getting stuck in).

Ahhhh, thanks!

Soon.....

Running out of pr0n to watch, waiting for server to go back up.
