Yes, nearly everyone will merge so all characters can use all skills.

By pushing you to take a side, and forcing your whole account to be aligned with that side, Anet is definitely making a play to sell multiple copies of the game, so people will buy one account for Luxons and one for Kurzicks.

Or, just making it so you spend Faction and not horde it...

create a new character and choose Cantha at the place where that character will start and you will start out in the Cantha equivalent of presear.

I happen to be Kurzick atm, but then after the ID1 dance in Cavalon, it kind of made me wanted to change, and changing is easy to do, which makes it nice =-).

I was disappointed in the level of those leaving and grief players though, and I wonder if there are plans to resolve. Easy change makes the game much more enjoyable, but that much more griefable too. Had an idiot necro killing himself giving points to the other team - loss of a player and a regular point upon his auto-rez. Little @(#*s like that make it less than enjoyable.

Also I was suprised the lack of reward - simple quests might be 1k but we get NO Baltzaar faction throughout the fight and then might win only 200 or 300 Luxon or Kurzik after some (IMO) pretty long fights.

That's part of the problem of having such big scale fights random too - easier access but get odd matchups and more likely for some idiots to pop in.
