Wartune Server Merges for 6/17 @ 03:30 AM EDT

[MemoryLane2]

A server merge is scheduled for Friday, the 17th of June beginning at 03:30 AM EDT (00:30 AM PDT, 07:30 AM GMT, and 03:30 PM GMT +8). These servers will be down for approximately 2 to 4 hours to allow for adequate testing, but could be longer. Please watch this thread for any updates or changes.



The following servers to be merged are:

East Coast Servers

• S639, S643, S646 and S650 will be merging together.

European Servers

• S16, S22, S46, S49, S51, S53, S57, S60, S122 and S28, S31, S34, S37, S63, S80, S82, S172, S175, S178, S181, S226, S229, S233, S236, S240 will be merging together.
• S645 and S649 will be merging together.

In order to avoid the loss of any character information, please refrain from making any new characters on these servers until after the merge has been completed.

To help with potential name conflicts, we will be removing unused characters that fit the following strict guidelines:

• A character must not have logged in within the last 45 days.
• Be under level 12 and their castle must be on the Twilight Coast.
• Have no Balens.
• Have no record of ever recharging.
• Not be in a guild.

Only a character who meets all five of the conditions above will be deleted.

All character data will be preserved (including items, skills, pets, stats, mounts, Gold, Honor, Honor ranking, Daru, Kyanite, Balens, Vouchers, level, Battle Ranking, Academy information, Friend lists, Astrals and VIP statuses). Guild membership, friends and black listed players will be preserved. Current quest progress will also be preserved. The only thing that will change is that all player's Castles will move to Twilight Coast. The Server Rankings list will be cleared, but will repopulate the next time it updates after the merge is complete.

Character Names:

• A character's name will only be changed if characters on different servers have the same name. In that case, the character on the newer server will have -S## added to the end of their name. For Example: RoryWilliams on Boneyard (S17) would be RoryWilliams-S17 after the merge, but only if there was a RoryWilliams on S12.
• Upon logging into your character after the merge, if your name was changed to include -S17, a popup window will open up allowing you the chance to change your name. To continue the example, RoryWilliams-S17 would log in and get a window asking to change his name. He could change it to RoryPond and the -S17 would be removed from his name.

Guild Names:

• A Guild's name will only be changed if guilds on different servers have the same name. In that case, the guild leader of the guild on the newer server will get a popup window upon logging in to change the name of their guild.
• Should the guild leader choose not to change the name of their guild, they will not be able to access their guild interface. Attempts to access the guild interface will only open the name change popup until the Guild's name is changed.
• Guild members will also be unable to access their guild interface until the name is changed.
• After the Server Merge, the Official Website, server names, and login entrance will remain the same. Players will login to their character though their original server. If a player has a character on both servers, you will continue to access the same character associated with a particular server as before the merge.

Ummm why are you merging us soo early it hasn't even been a month yet, give us another month at least to get little stronger.

[R218822214]

That's what I'm saying, we haven't been here a month and you are merging us with all much older servers??

[mastablasta23]

Rewards are crapp for old servers
Come on

[Valhalla69]

Server 650 have not had eudaemon event yet and most people gathering level 70 set
Do we get months worth of resources to compete with older servers?

[R218822214]

Server 639 alone we are merging with have 3 guilds double our highest guild rating. And 4 guilds higher then us period. How is that balanced or make any sense? We are going to be facing players with double or triple our rating all of the sudden.

I remember saying to a mentor this "All R2 wants is money, so they can develop the game more and inorder to do that R2 makes a bunch of servers thus making new players not join the preexisting servers then you merge with other servers that are much stronger then our."

the mentor said "Thats not nice of you to say that about R2, we care about all players including the ones that don't pay."

my response was "R2 is ran like a business and you trick players into joinning other servers so you have an excuse to merge with the other ones thus causing player to pay more into the game, making you more money, you know lieing isn't nice ether and you just lied to me."

he had no response and right here this merge right here is proof that R2 only cares about money (which we all know by now) so R2 if you care soo much about all of the players including free to plays I'm gonna say this, postpone this merge for 1-2 more months and don't say you can't when you got all the power to do so.

Show me that you care not just about payers, but the free to play players as well, cause if you were in their shoes how would you feel being at 100k battle rating vsing a player with 5mil br and not being able to pay to catch them? You don't play the game so you don't have to worry about it, but the players that grow to love this game will end up hating it an then you'll get rid of an amazing game.

So R2 I'll say it again cause when others have told you, you choose to ignore us all, think about all of the player instead of yourselves.....cause I want this game to stay and I want everyone to enjoy how badass this game is.

Don't worry ppl, a new server less than a month, get first merge to avoid get the sylph and ress crystal events at the week four, then the events reset again after server merged,
when we close to month 2 after merge, u get a third server merge , again to avoid getin sylph and ress crystals events, after that there is no more merge for few months lol.
R2 plan is to ruin new servers mergin them with 2-3 months old ones. I say this cuz its true, ive tryed to play on a few servers in last 6 months and all went same after 1 month from server start.

A few thoughts on this merge, Memorylane, from a game designer.

- Starting a new server each week, giving a chance to every player to be 1st on some ranklist was a great idea originally from the Chinese game developers.
- Merging servers where active players were so few there was no one to kill a world boss, or make team with, was a great idea too.

- However. Merging server clusters where each have HUNDREDS of active players, many many paying customers, is a BAAAAD idea. And this is not the first time you do this.

For us, players, it definitely is a bad idea. World boss dieing in 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes? Not being able to find a living sylph in sylph atoll ever? Not being able to join Chaos Wars, even Guild battle or Cross-server guild-battle? And losing rank in every top list?
Who was 1st previously, will be 5th. Who was 8th, will be 30th. Who was 30th, will be 100th. Merging 2 crowded servers is a sure way to lose motivation and quit the game.

For you, R2Games, it is equally bad. You literally murder your paying customers. You burn your own money. You are the enemy of your own wallet. Merging without using your brain is worse than nerfing, adding bugs, allowing extreme exploits.
You think people who lose rank will spend more? Quite the opposite. The last merge was a heavy factor for me to stop spending since 6 months.

And yeah, whenever its about nerfs, bugs, exploits, finger is always pointed at the devs, saying it's their responsiblity is not of R2Games who is only the publisher.
But merging IS R2Games responsibility (like messing up this forum and the login system too and never fixing it). So this is a clear proof, that you, R2Games, is no better than 7Road, you are as responsible for the downfall of this game as the devs.

With just a minimal thinking and care, you should have added a vote to the game. Where you ask players: you want merge? yes or no. And merge only when people vote yes.

I still have to understand what goes on in the mind of those who still support this game with recharging.

when server is up?
