1 in thread Buddy Keys! [News and Press Releases]
This information is also available on the Buddy Key claim page:

Quote:
New Pirates of the Burning Sea accounts only; existing accounts and Station Access accounts excluded from trial offer. The buddy key may only be used once. After the 14-day trial period is over, in order to continue to play Pirates of the Burning Sea, your friend will need to purchase a copy of Pirates of the Burning Sea and and update their Station Account subscription information with a valid credit card or an official SOE Game Card to pay the recurring subscription fee.

Your buddies' trial characters will be available for them to continue their journey using the same Station Account created for the trial.

Entering billing information prior to the conclusion of the 14-day free trial will terminate the free service and your buddy will lose the balance of any unused free play period game time. This offer cannot be combined with any game time included with the purchase of certain versions of, or other offers related to, Pirates of the Burning Sea.

1 in thread Refit Trade-ins, Hurting ship sales? [Discuss: Economy]
Duplicating data makes it harder to maintain and more error-prone, especially when dealing with a few exceptions as opposed to a global rule.

To add to this, when you do file a support ticket, please be sure to note what ship you're having the problem with. That saves the support guys one or more round trips trying to ask for that information.

So ..if they decide about the number in 2. Week of April...the work then starts..
This means to me..that ..it will be end of MAY till we have consolidated..
I would suggest you open your eyes. The work to do a merge is the same work that we're doing for Testbed.

Now this thread shall be locked leaving us with even more questions for FLS devs still haven't got the hint that the servers NEED A MERGE QUICKLY.
No, it was actually yelling at one another about a tangental issue. If I had a nickle for every thread that somebody said "it'll be locked!!" that wasn't, I'd run a whole business just on the forums.

Personally, I think the sooner the better, but I understand your hesitation to do anything too quickly.
It's the exact same technology we'd use.
