January 10th marks the day that DUST 514 and Eve Online will officially merge on the live Tranquility server allowing DUST 514 players to chat with Eve Online player and join corporations. This should also be the last DUST 514 character wipe, barring any major issues. Although the merger is happening in less than 2 days from now, DUST 514 is still in closed beta testing, so this is not the official launch of the game. For more info, head over to the official announcement.
