  • [Announcement] Wartune Server Merges 01/30 @ 1:00 AM EST

    A server merge is scheduled for Thursday the 30th of January, beginning at 1:00 AM EST (10:00 PM PST on the 29th, 6:00 AM GMT, 2:00 PM GMT +8). These servers will be down for approximately 6 hrs to allow for adequate testing, but could be shorter. Please watch this thread for any updates or changes.

    The following servers to be merged are:
    • Camp Calorn (S9), and Shrine of Sakaiya (S15) will be merged together.
    • Lambridge Stronghold (S58), and Fowlsfield Gorge (S61) will be merged together.
    • Permbridge Mount (S62), Barkely Plateau (S71), and Talsworth Castle (S68) will be merged together.
    • Selsmire Stronghold (S65), and Corftey Ravine (S69) will be merged 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:
    1. 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.
    2. 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:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    We also have some special events and promotions just for the merged servers!

          im ok with a merge, but the rewards aren't worth the balen buying, and s71 has been known for hackers and we have our lot already in s68... i think a compensation pack should be given to non-hackers... otherwise count me out for buying balens as well. I've tried to be tolerant but why play if hackers can still be around and do their thing? The challenge is getting stronger, not immediately being strong. I say play fair or don't play. I haven't commented on this since the problems started.

                  My money is on Wednesday the 30th, since maintenance is on Thursdays and I've never seen a Thursday merge.

                  You don't lose guild contribution. Guilds will still be fully intact after the merge. The only changes that happen are listed in the first post.

                    Glad to see s61 finally getting a merge. Pity I'm going to miss a lot of the "state of equality" rewards cause of work but not too big of a deal.

                    The Legends of Baelanor reward seems kind of pointless as it only rewards the top few players, but I guess I have gotten used to the way this game rewards those at the top.

                    The recharge bonus isn't very big but I may take advantage of it anyway.

                    I also have a question. How is BR going to be measured cause often players will be snapshotted potted up when the rankings are taken every evening which skews the results? I hope it is possible that it will take your raw unpotted battle rating for the rewards.

                      Nah the top hackers maybe from S62, pls check their top guys astral, lvl 8 will destroyer, and lvl 6 patk gems and their top archers.

                      I guess u mistaken s71 with s81, s81 is the famous server that has been reported. Lester from the forum can clarify.

                        I'm really pleased to hear that the servers are merging, but I have some concerns. Foremost among those are the bonuses Server 61 is receiving for "Leveling the Playing Field" and "State of Equality." Don't get me wrong. If they were truly in need of those items i would be happy for them to receive them. However, that is not the case. The top ten players in Server 58 have an average battle rating of 43,392 and average level of 63. The top ten players in Server 61 have an average battle rating of 44,443 and an average level of 63 as well. In fact, the highest level player in Server 58 is anoobish, at level 66, while the highest level players in Server 61 are Evilmog and Demorak at level 67. Obviously, having opened later than Server 58 has not put Server 51 behind in leveling. So I would like to ask you to please consider either a) just not giving the rewards, b) only giving them to players below level 50, or c) giving them to everyone.

                        EDIT: Looking further, it WOULD be nice for the Server 61 guilds to get some sort of reward like... extra wealth maybe? I'm not sure, but that would seem fair too. ^_^a

                              Not sure the benefits help much but in principal I see what you're saying and agree. Nice of you to think of our later starting guilds, too, Aya. See you on our server. Kicking my but in the BG
