I think that any news on the status of a merger would be fantastic for the community. Even if it's "No this isn't ever going to happen." Staff initially brought up this concept so I do believe that insight of the issue is somewhat warranted. But any light shed on their thought process would be great.
Is it still on the table for discussion at all? Has it been deemed too much of a logistical issue? Do they want x amount of time for geen to be on velious? Some supposed insiders say that when dark darkpaw took over the EQ ip that they felt that new p99 servers being opened up would hurt tlp subscriptions, so now with no new server opening up, staff is hesitant to do any sort of merger. Is that the case? Is it something to do with hardware? Unlikely. But the fact is that CSR has had this discussion internally and for whatever reason have decided to go silent on the issue but as anyone can see from the forums, the player base is still curious.
Again, I have nothing but appreciation for the p99 staff. No post made here is meant to slander or even disrespect them in any way whatsoever.
