CS Server Merge Scheduled for February 12th @ 1:00 AM EST

[R2CS_Crystal]

A server merge is scheduled for Wednesday, February 12th beginning at 1:00 AM EST (10:00 PM PST on the 11th). These servers will be down for approximately 6 hrs to allow for adequate testing, but could be shorter. The servers to be merged are:

• Server Purgatory (S64) will merge with Server Nightmoor Hollow (S66).

Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates or changes.

After the merge the following things will happen:
1. Each character will still have a S# marker added to the front of their name. For example, (S64)RoryWilliams on Plethurian Plains will still be (S64)RoryWillaims.
2. All characters will be preserved, even if you have more than 3 characters between the servers.
3. All character data will be preserved (including items, skills, pets, stats, mounts, wings, Crystal, Gold, Honor, PK rating, Nobility and VIP statuses).
4. Guild membership, friends and black listed players will be preserved.
5. Current quest progress will be preserved.
6. Any items in your temporary inventory will remain; any items currently in a shop will be moved to your inventory.
7. Dungeon attempts will be maintained.

The following things will CHANGE:

8. All data related to the Guild Showdown will be removed. Guild Showdown will restart at the normal time after the merge.
9. All rankings will be recalculated.

I'm not certain what kind of criteria that GM was using to determine whether or not a server deserve a merge. Because, as far as i'm concerned, both s64 and s66 are fairly new servers, around less than several months, and are relatively decent in terms of the number of players, neither overloaded or silent. Definitely not something really worth merging unless GM has certain agenda (cutting off server's cost, maintenance issue, etc) to deal with. Besides, i find it funny that nobody seems to care 'bout s1, s3, s60, etc which have been constantly losing players in alarming pace and in verge of transforming into ghost servers.

Again, what kind of criteria you guys were using?

You are right!! S60 is absolutely dead, only playing GM players and his alts

S60 is on that pace again, even after merge there are literally no cashers. No cashers means non cashers will get bored, and yes we have. Literally the only thing is shops is some puc g.mut and DC, all farmable stuff. Last time I have actually seen a cash item in a shop was a very long time ago. Honestly I can think of maybe 5-7 active S60 players, maybe less, it's getting really bad.

[MomoJay]

I'm just glad to see r2 came back to work. The servers are in need of maintenance. I hope the next event has something to do with the new systems.

100% agreed

[fujiiglenn]

our servers our still new and a lot of players are still playing >.< why merge as early as less than a year?
it simply will give us lesser space and massive lagness

[vastilos]

You guys can thank Rage for killing s60. Any server that gets merged with s60 will die as well. No point in merging servers with a server that 1 person has complete control over.
