Hello! Long time no play - I see new HF server opening in November

But I have time to play now. What I always liked about RPG club is that you don't lose your toons because when server closes, it gets merged

So is it still true? If I start playing now, will the server get merged with the new one sometime in 2018?
Thank for answers
It's a high possibility, but no one can tell your for sure. It usually takes over a year to merge. My suggestion is play now on the servers that are open, have some fun and then if time permits switch to the new one.
