ButcherBlock has been having some serious troubles the last few weeks.
Just watching to official boards, it's been crash, after crash, after crash.
It makes you wonder, what could be affecting just one server like that.
Maybe if enough people request for thier characters to be moved to another server, or the population dwindles enough, they can consolodate the population of butcherblock to another server, and now they have a nice fresh new server ready for station exchange.

To restate: Next week's polling will be used to determine how many new servers we need to start up at the service's launch. It will not be used to determine whether any existing servers should be converted. There will be no current live servers switched to the Station Exchange ruleset.
Later, if the popularity of the service grows and it becomes apparent that we need more than the two planned servers, it will be because people have moved from other servers, which means those servers' populations will have gotten smaller. If that occurs, we may merge lower population servers together if any have gotten below the point of remaining a healthy community.
This way, we can ensure that no new ruleset is forced on any player on any existing server without their consent, regardless of what that server as a whole expresses in the polls. The only way to end up on an Exchange-enabled server is by explicitly opting-in to the ruleset by either making a character there or by moving a character to that server.
We want you to know that we are listening to your concerns, and that we are committed to maintaining the spirit of the EverQuest II community that we all have worked together to build.
