Massive Everquest Server Merger

EvilBastard writes "Sony Online Entertainment has announced the next round of server consolidation, where 36 Everquest Servers will be merged over the next 6 weeks, with 18 servers vanishing for good. Servers to vanish include Veeshan, Karana and Mithaniel Marr. Where two servers merge, the server with the highest population keeps it's name, however some characters will have the option to add their server as their in game title. This is the third server merge that Sony has performed, after the earlier combination of the 4 PVP servers and an earlier proof-of-concept merger."

The problem is there's no actual plot to EQ itself other than minor side quests. I played the game for on and off 4 years, and the game is really a large interactive chat room. Auto-attack does the combat, and raids are all about loot drops. Making it single player, although a cool idea, would make for an extremely boring world, as the only substance comes from players.
