In accordance with the merger of several Worlds on March 23, 2010, any character deleted on one of the merged Worlds below that is reactivated through the Character Reactivation Service will be reactivated on its post-merger World.
Was checking out FFXI site and stumbled upon this saying the World Server merge will be on the 23rd, previously on the 16th until the earthquake/tsunami hit Japan. Not 100% sure if the FFXI will be up by then, but I'm thinking SE will start getting stuff back together.
