Nope, it'll never be merged I think, given the 1500+ queues every day
at peak time for a month or more after every patch through the last
two expansions... it's one of the 3-4 highest pop in Europe, hence why
I'm pretty worried for WoD if it's already getting queued now!

Hehehe :-) Have to say I'm not playing live a lot, pondering putting
my 2nd account on hold, since I mainly play beta at present, but it's
so cheap it seems a bit pointless freezing the account (which probably
has 2 months+ left on it anyway) only to reopen it come WoD. Still
enjoy the game, but it's hard playing the old stuff when I've got
shiny new things to look at, even though I do have a bunch of stuff I
want to work on on live!
