　　PC MMO WildStar is getting "megaservers" this week in move that will increase server capacity, meaning it should become quicker and easier to find people to group with. The move to megaservers was announced in September, and will begin on Thursday, October 16, starting at 5 AM PDT.

　　All realms will be taken offline for a period of 12 to 24 hours at that time, while the full transition is expected to take 3 to 6 weeks. "This is a complex operation and we want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible," a representative for Carbine Studios said in a statement today. "You can stay informed on the progress of the downtime by visiting us on the forums and social media."

　　Because the move to megaservers is not considered standard maintenance, all players will be given a free day of game time as compensation, as well as one month's worth of Boom-Boxes (one per day for 30 days).

　　Carbine Studios allowed the community to name the new servers, and these are listed below.

　　PvE Megaserver -- Entity (North America) and Jabbit (Europe)PvP Megaserver -- Warhound (North America) and Luminai (Europe)In a detailed FAQ regarding the forthcoming change, Carbine writes that all characters at level 3 or above will migrate to the new megaservers. All guilds, arena teams, circles, mail, and autction items are also making the jump. However, if you have a level 1 or 2 character and you have not logged into WildStar in the past 30 days, this character will be deleted.

　　Regarding character names, Carbine writes that it will introduce surnames for players "to prevent any duplicate names." When you log into WildStar after the transition, you will be asked to add a second name (you can also change your original name at this time).
