The sandbox MMO ArcheAge will soon have server mergers. To ensure these measures are fair, there are two methods for affected players to cope: stay and start anew or pack everything up and transfer to another server.
An important feature of ArcheAge is your land ownership, your guild, and your buildings. Since land is always limited, there is a fierce competition for property. Moreover, guilds can build entire cities and even nations with much effort and work.
Everyone is reluctant to give all this up, which is why the developers have devised a complex compensation system for all affected players during the upcoming server mergers in ArcheAge.
ArcheAge – Server Evolution – Which realms are affected?
From September 7 to 9, certain ArcheAge servers will be merged. Unlike a “normal” server merge, where two or more weak servers are to become one strong server, ArcheAge aims to merge several weak servers into a new server where all players can start fresh together, for fairness. The following realms are affected:
- Kyprosa, Dahuta, and Rangora will merge into TEMPEST
- Leviathan, Anthalon, and Sirothe will move to RETRIBUTION
- Ollo, Tahyang, and Salphira will transfer to CONVICTION.
- Morpheus, Nazar, and Hanur will merge into THUNDERWING
ArcheAge – Server Evolution – Stay or go?
If you play on one of the affected servers, you have the choice: Pack everything up and continue playing elsewhere or participate in the evolution and basically start anew. If you want to leave, you must consider the following:
- The transfer is free
- The transfer must take place between August 16 and 29
- You cannot take guilds, castles, nations, and families with you
- All your possessions must fit into your inventory or warehouse
- Placed buildings must be demolished or packed into kits
- You will NOT receive an evolution compensation package
On the other hand, those who wish to stay and participate in the server evolution must adhere to the following rules:
- Your possessions, guilds, nations, and families will be lost
- However, you will receive compensation for almost everything, and your possessions will be packed into complete sets
- Guild, family, and nation leaders will receive compensation for the dissolved groups and can use it to rebuild the guild, family, or nation
- There will be an additional evolution compensation package
- You will have to fight again for land and possessions after the evolution as all players will have the same chances at the start.
Further information about the compensations and transfer rules will be announced by Trion starting August 16.
