Servers will merge, there will be 3 months of no new server.

However the 'new' server (teal) will shut down the moment the sleeper finishes its rampage across velious. no transferring alts to blue, no nothing, all gone. symbolizing that everquest died with velious and we are all in a post-death dream this entire time

And the server after that will have the sleeper toned down and "killable" as long as theres enough people, here you will have a chance to keep your characters. And once a month the sleeper will respawn, if the raid fails and he finishes its rampage, boom servers gone again. said sleeper will allow up to 255 debuffs, but dots still unstackable with other casters.
