Gamigo announced the closure of several servers of the MMORPG ArcheAge and the merging of their populations. This means a new Land Rush is coming, where players will compete for the few plots of land.
Why do servers need to be merged? Gamigo announces on the official website of the MMORPG ArcheAge that they have closely examined the populations of the servers. The team found that some servers need to be merged. This aims to increase the player population density.
In plain terms, this means that ArcheAge currently has too many servers for too few players. Both versions of the MMORPG are affected, ArcheAge Free2Play and ArcheAge Unchained.
The rush for land in ArcheAge begins soon
What will the merging look like? A total of 17 servers will be closed. 4 for ArcheAge Free2Play and 13 for ArcheAge Unchained.
ArcheAge Free-to-Play
- In NA, Kadum and Nui will become Dochul.
- In the EU, Taris and Ezi will become Arkanis.
ArcheAge: Unchained
- In NA, Jergant, Stena, and Kaylin will become Akmit.
- Denistrious, Runert, Tyrenos, and Wynn will become Marmas.
- In the EU, Belstrom, Crazzian, and Tinnerph will become Okape.
- Gildaron, Halnaak, and Alexander will become Hieronimus.
What does this mean? Players will need to search for new land on the new servers to build their houses and farms. This is because plots of land are available only in limited numbers. This means a new Land Rush is coming, where the fans of ArcheAge will compete for the scarce but highly coveted building land.
When will the moves take place? The move for ArcheAge Unchained will take place on March 5th. Already on March 4th, it will no longer be possible to play.
Those playing ArcheAge Free2Play will not be able to play from March 11th. The move is planned for March 12th.
When will the Land Rush take place? To create equal chances for all players, the Land Rush will not occur on the same day as the moves.
Players of ArcheAge Unchained can start looking for new land on March 13th. Those playing ArcheAge Free2Play will be on March 20th. The exact times will be announced later.
By the way, work on the successor to ArcheAge is already in full swing. ArcheAge 2 is coming in 2022 – Featuring Unreal Engine 5 and new races.
