[h3]The Grand Server Merge Event[/h3]

Hello Auraxians,

After the recent EU server merge we’ve seen lots of players enjoy the increased population on the maps in Auraxis. We now shift our focus to the NA servers.

We are pleased to announce that the NA Server Merge between Connery and Emerald will happen April 8th.

To celebrate both EU’s and NA’s server merges from last year and this year, we are hosting a two part server merge event! Read the details below and learn how you can vote for your EU and NA server names. That right, we heard our Cobalt community and decided to have Miller renamed as well.

Be sure to read carefully to learn about fun exclusive rewards for participating in these events!

[h2]Part 1 | Final Fight on Connery, Emerald & Miller[/h2]

Date: MARCH 28th - MARCH 30th

Details 
Play PlanetSide 2 during the date above as the faction that represents the new server name you’d like to have for the NA and EU servers. (See the server names below) 

Upon event completion the faction with the most map control captures throughout the whole weekend will have the winning new server name.
