	Do you feel fine?</div>

In the final days of the countdown to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/06/23/server-merge-hints-are-confirmed-for-aion/">server</a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/07/04/aion-server-merges-delayed-name-changes-explained/">merges</a> in <a href="http://na.aiononline.com/"><em>Aion</em></a> this Wednesday, a mixture of emotions are on display on both sides of the battle. While some are feeling excitement, others are cautious, yet bridled with apprehension, and others still are simmering with discontent about the upcoming changes in Atreia. Some apathy has even reared up, as participation in fortress battles wane and the Balaur slowly re-establish their grip of power. Many simply feel a mixture of different emotions at different times (depending which side of the most recent ganking they came out on).<br />
<br />
Although the physical make-up of the land is not going to change like it will when <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/05/04/lengthy-aion-2-0-patch-notes-translated/">patch 2.0</a> goes live and the Balaur homeland is introduced, the landscape will still be changed. The player base -- the very atmosphere -- of each new server will be markedly different. The population explosion, the economy, abyss rankings, and even tracking reputations will all be affected by the merges. No question about it, life in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/aion"><em>Aion</em> </a>is going to be altered for every player -- though for better or for worse may be more at the discretion of each individual player, their own attitudes, and preparation.<br />
<br />
Take a moment of silence then wander past the cut to see what the last days look like, and prepare yourself for a smoother transition into the morning after.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/07/12/wings-over-atreia-its-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Wings Over Atreia:  It's the end of the world as we know it...</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/07/12/wings-over-atreia-its-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it/">Wings Over Atreia:  It's the end of the world as we know it...</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:00:00 EST.
