This will remain in effect for an undisclosed amount of time but once the new expedition launches this will most likely not be the case anymore. If you want to inherit your dead Popham character on Providence it is encouraged you do so as soon as possible. Keep in mind that the stats you get will be dependent on the same variables like Last Will, Undertaker, and # of times prayed to the Inheritance Statue on Popham.
I really like this game but how some things are handheld with implementing isn't ideal. The notice you are referencing to doesn't state any definite and is rather vague. reading this it even seems like their could of been a small chance that the server would stay open even after the new server starts.
If someone didn't see this update to a post they now have a character slot they are unable to delete which is bad game UI
