Scooch over and make room, RIFT European players, because you’re about to have company.
Gamigo announced on Friday that it will be merging several of its English-speaking European servers on June 5th. This will bring the current count down to three shards (English, German, and French) plus a “hidden” fourth one to help with load balancing. The company says that these merges are a result of switching over to Google Cloud Platform and should result in better capacity and performance.
[AL:Rift]Part of the merge means that one dwindling community in particular is going to be devastated: “Unfortunately, the population no longer warrants support for an open world PVP server, as noted above Bloodiron will be merged into the PVE Typhiria environment.”Source: RIFT. Thanks Patrick!
