Heres my question, just started playing. what happens if there are two characters with the exact same name when the severs join? How will it be decided who gets to keep their name and who loses it?

Sounds like a very complex/sophisticated variation of the Guild Wars district idea.

Servers are about to become pointless, as they are about to incorporate some sort of "phasing" super server.....Where the separate servers will be merged as far as queing duos, alerts, etc...etc... and then they'll have different "phases" of Gotham and Metropolis, where players will be migrated onto random server phases.

They have promised that "most of the time" you'll be in the same phase as your league/friends/etc/etc.....

Here's the text of the message, if anyone is interested....

As RadarX previously announced, we will soon introduce new technology into DC Universe Online which will allow us to combine our current servers into huge MegaServers. I wanted to answer some of the questions that have popped up on the forums and Facebook to better explain what these MegaServers will mean to the game.

Why are you creating MegaServers?

We have a very large and active population in DCUO. As players achieve higher levels, a lot more of the game involves participating in Raids, Arenas, Duos, Alerts, and other queued instances. After examining how the queues were working in detail, we saw our players were spending far too much time waiting and not enough time playing. This just would not do. We wanted an approach that would not only help players waiting for queued content, but ensured that no matter when you play, there are a maximum number of people in the cities as well. MegaServers offers a way to have an incredible experience no matter what your play habits are.

I am on a PvP server. Will I still be with other PvP players when I get to a MegaServer?

Yes! MegaServers use "phasing" technology, meaning there is more than one version, or phase, of Metropolis and Gotham on the server. Players who selected PvP servers when they created their characters will always be in a PvP phase of the shared world with other PvP players. The same goes for PvE players; They will always be placed in PvE phases. However, since the queues will be shared, PvE and PvP players will be able to group up for Alerts, Raids, Duos, etc. greatly increasing the pool of available players for matchmaking. It is a very cool system that really maximizes the people online, and nearby, for you to play with.

Will I still be able to play with my friends?

Yes! We have algorithms that will attempt to place you in the same phase as your friends and League members. Even if you you end up in a different phase, you can almost always phase to your friends. Using the UI, or a command like /phase SooperBFF you will be relocated to SooperBFF's phase in the same location that you phased from. There will be some limitations on when you can phase based on whether you are in combat, in an Alert or Duo, etc. but I think you will find it is easy to get together with the folks you want to play with.

MegaServers? Why that name?

It just felt big. Putting hundreds of thousands of folks on the same server felt Mega! We considered 'UberServers' and 'MonsterServers' as well.

We will be rolling out more information in the days ahead. Have a great time playing DCUO!

So, how many people on the Crisis server still play?
And how often and at what times of the day?

Its been seemingly DEAD since the PSN came back up... I can't even find a mic'd DUO partner, much less one that seems to actually know what he's doing. (It was actually kinda sad, I tried doing Metro City Hall through the queue and the guy I ended up with kept attacking Arkillo while his defenses were up. I mean, he wouldn't even listen to me telling him what neded to be done, it was stupid and annoying and I gave it three goes, and he kept doing the ame dumb crap, so I left... UGH!).
