Any date given for Server merge?

Anyone know a solid date for the server merge?  I havent played for a few months due to declining population, but  I'm planning on coming back after the merge.   How's performance these days?  Can I get by with one Gig of ram?  I had some lagg issues at launch.

    Hello, Panthersn.

     

    I do not think that there is a specific date yet established for the server merges.  I am also eagerly waiting for it to occur.

     

    My performance is completely fine these days, and most people I know experience on average 40 to 50+ fps.  If I have time, I will long in later today and test it on my system.  I think 2 gigs of ram would be ideal for this game.  I imagine, though, that you could definitely "get by" on 1 gig.  From Test Server Patch Notes: 

    - Performance should see a significant boost, especially for computers with less than 2GB of memory. The client will now use a great deal less memory from textures. This option will be enabled by default without requiring the user to wipe their vgclient.ini. It will be enabled for all configurations.

    Soon I hope. Empty servers are depressing.

    I had 1gig of RAM and a Geforce 7300LE card and ran the game fine on High Performance. I thought the game looked okay enough to play it too on that setting. A server date has not been announced. Because of the population decline and the difficulty of finding groups for my level, I quit until the server merge or better yet, a serious population increase.

    The announced date for the merge is the same as it has always been 3 weeks.

    Performance is better than it was at release, for me mostly it means less crashes and the chunking isnt quite as bad.  I dont get any better FPS now then I did at launch though.

    1 gig could lead to issues, crashing or performance.  I have 2gig and things are running smoothly now.  I monitor my ram usage on my keyboard LCD and have watched the utilization drop from consistently in the 85%-95% (anything higher would crash me) to 62%-78%.  So the memory leak fixes are having a big effect... maybe to the point where 1 gig would handle it fine now.
