AV will start to Merge more likely on Monday! No word yet, but that's my best guess!

You need to remain realistic while optimistic. Yes, Monday is an optimistic guess, but not necessarily realistic. There may be other priorities that come up on a Monday that may delay that a day or two. I really think if you don't concentrate so much on AV itself merging, but rather to the end of the process being approximately a month off, you'll find as I said that you will be dancing-on-the-rooftops-ecstatic if it happens before then, instead of incredibly disappointed, if for example AV doesn't start to merge Monday. We all know how EA operates, so it's *always* best to overestimate time than to underestimate it, because it's the 'chomping at the bit' and underestimation of how long processes will take that leads to the disappointment and anger that is so prevalent on the boards.
Basically just chill and enjoy the rest of the next 30 days with the sims you have in EAL and TC3. Just like the fun of Christmas, it *will* come, just not nearly soon enough to suit alot of people.
