[Merge] Wartune Server Merges for 8/29 @ 9:00 AM BST/4:00 PM GMT+8

[MemoryLane2]

A server merge is scheduled for Wednesday, the 29th of August beginning at 1:00 AM PDT / 4:00 AM EDT(9:00 AM BST / 4:00 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:

European Servers

• S3,S65,S69,S107,S110,S138,S141,S144,S147,S184,S187,S190,S193,S197,S213 and S784 will be merged together

Oceanic Servers

• S40,S43,S54,S66,S81,S85,S106,S124,S157,S189,S194,S204,S209,S218,S223,S230,S237,S241,S248,S272,S294,S315,S332,S341,S352,S362,S377,S394,S413,S439,S459 and S783 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:
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.

OOOOOO now u really gone off the line. Well done R2 adding a 1 month old server to a server consistent of only old ones!!! Think u actually outdone yourself with utter stupidity this time. Why don´t u all make yourself useful and take a long walk off a short pier

[Irwanwtn]

Twits
and morons

[Irwanwtn]

Yeah! you skipped my dying server cluster Yet again, Let the lack of active players get smaller ....
Idiots and morons who don't care

[andrejsergej21]

what you all want with this "you merge 1 month server with bla bla bla" we all get merge with month or less days better say after start events someone get old servers on merge someone new but only know that in almost 6 months all new server have only one use to fill up holes in other servers clusters and that is not bad for r2 cuz "grasshopers" will still jump to new servers and spent there till next merge and then all over again. Good job r2 you get fine way to earn monay from "grasshopers" and gz on that

[R23224943]

everything these days is cross server .. if merge wouldn't it be better to merge into the older servers where they can help you rapidly grow your toons and that

after merge many will start to have orange grade dragonchants bits, after get knighthood many old players have sylphs that can solo HST so can take 3 through at a time.
i am forever taking low stat players through HST and ** nightmare.

There is currently much discussion going on between myself, my colleague and the OPs team to discuss all avenues of merges. This goes to suggestions of merging older servers with older servers, or creating separate clusters for the new servers so not to be hit by the older servers. We are continually fighting to help the players. Lets not get to name calling as that doesn't help the situation. Many Thanks

What can i say... R2 can go and suck themselves off with this level of stupidity.
My damn server havent seen merge for more than 2 years,but whatever,who cares. Better merge 1 month old server each week,greedy morrons.

[Irwanwtn]

The problem is the People involved in putting the Mergers together ignore basic facts of older servers vs newer servers.
Along with that They ignore the fact some of the older servers that have required mergers at least since early March/April

Old Clusters:

Clusters that have limited numbers of Cashers/Free players
The Combined CLuster Sets should benefit all servers merged in the sets Br Values, Active Cashers/Free players
Relative Ages are Similiar

New Clusters:
Since Newer clusters have lower BR's the combination of Stronger Clusters merged with newer clusters benefits the Newer/Lower Br clusters
but can hurt larger well established High Br Clusters
Newer Clusters generally have active players but are less likely to want to be merged with older established servers because of the "Cliche" that old servers have garnered for themselves

The best suggestions would be to Merger Old with Old and Cluster Older Servers vs older Servers for Cross server matchups , And Newer Server clusters with Newer Clusters and Cross Server Match Newer vs Newer.

The practice giving preference to Certain "areas" or Timezones should also stop Age/Active Players/Cashers/Free players should determine the merger requirements.
I do not begrudge Resurgences Cluster the got the benefit of preference with regard to combining high cash players with high cash players creating a super guild/server cluster good on them for that.

Devs should change this. Many toons lvl12+ that maybe recharged are out there that haven't been touched in years, even people requested to delete their own toons hitting walls. Also nowadays can be lvl20 after 3 quests and lvl80 in a day

And this is what is being discussed now. Wasn't long ago they wouldn't entertain the idea. We are making headway. The constant attacks is unfair. It is not all roses and sunshine when making decisions. Can't please everyone even if you could try. We could get 2 older East servers merged and Europe will get fragrant as it was not them getting the merge and vice versa. Time is a virtue and all need to be patient.

[R23224943]

s40 and S697 were asking for a merge but you merged s697 with s479

we even ticketed asking to hold it off

[R21535280]

And still, nearly 4 hrs on, It say "Server not ready". have they broken it?

[perkasa27]

my gameID Pendekar from s783
clicked s783 there's message Server not ready
clicked s40 can enter and get into create character interface
clicked s459 same thing with line 3
so the youngest server of the merge not prioritized, is that it?

[irena.jovic]

Same here with s784, every other European merged works just s784 dont't
