Hello,
You are free to request server merges as much as you'd like. The server merges will occur once Oasis feels that they are necessary, which is not at the same point as when the player base feels that they are necessary, unfortunately. The line, "server merges will take place once every two weeks" is in error and is meant to say "no more than once ever two weeks".
Server merges will be announced in the News forum when they are happening. Asking friends about them won't really help, because your friends won't really know about merges ahead of time. The only way to find out about a merge is to check the News forum for the announcement. That's really the only way to find out about a merge announcement.
I hope this helps, and sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for the clarification. My question was meant to be more like:

[How long does it take merges to happen after the "Server Merge Requests" topic open in the "News" section. For example, if the topic is opened and people start making requests on some day of the month, how long will it take to merge the servers that Oasis thinks qualify for a merge. Is it 2 weeks or a month etc.]

So my question is not "when will my server merge". It's more like "how long does it take before Oasis merges requested servers which also qualify for a merge".

Hope this clears misunderstanding about my question :)

It really depends on how long it takes for the problem to reach a critical mass. If there are enough server merge requests and the servers in question fulfill the other requirements for a merge, then it could be quite quick. If not, then it might not ever happen. We have servers that have never seen a merge. There's really no way to be certain, and those policies have never been made public. Unfortunately, we just have to check the News forum weekly for updates.

So, neither do you nor us players have no insight on who'll get merges and when will they get it, whatsoever? And, all we can do is just check news section if there is any updates on the matter. That's... odd.

Edit: I don't blame you though. That's just Oasis policy apparently.

Hello carbok!

That is correct, merge information are not influenced or even shared with our moderators. While we keep collecting merge request (and yes, we do take them into consideration), it does not guarantee that any server merges will occur in next week or even month. We reserve the right to delay or cancel serve merges due to unforeseen cir*stances.

Once we are ready to merge server, we will always announce it via News section and notices via our official social accounts.
