The transfer to the mega-servers for the SF-MMO WildStar is scheduled for Wednesday. It will last a maximum of 24 hours, during which the MMO will be unreachable. Players will receive a free day credited and 30 Boom Boxes allocated.
On Wednesday, October 15, at 2 PM, it will take place. Then the transfer of the mega-servers will begin. When will the WildStar servers be online again? Probably after around 24 hours, but if everything goes optimally, players can re-enter the planet Nexus after only 12 hours of abstinence. The mega-servers are intended to make the world of Nexus livelier and to make it easier for players to organize raids, PvP, and group content.
As compensation for the loss of playtime, Carbine credits players an additional day of free playtime and releases “Boom Boxes” for an entire month (one per day for 30 days), as stated in a press release.
After the transfer, players who were previously on a European PvE or role-playing server will find themselves on Jabbit again, while PvP players will call “Luminai” their new home. The names of the new mega-servers were chosen by players in a survey. German players will also notice that they are in a German chat zone and will occupy a help channel.
There is also an FAQ about the mega-server on the official website, which has answers to the most frequently asked questions. Speaking of names: With the merger, it is likely that a name on the mega-server is now duplicated. Therefore, Carbine is introducing last names. A guide to choosing a suitable name is available on the WildStar website. For Exiles, that is Granok, Mordesh, Humans, and Aurin, you can find it here. And if you are looking for a suitable last name for your Dominion character (Chua, Draken, Cassians, or Mechari), you will find it here.
