Heroes of Arkesia,
On October 22, we will conduct a region merge to fold the NA West region into NA East. The NA West world names (Brelshaza & Thaemine) will remain the same and will be integrated into NA East. No servers (and therefore rosters) are being merged into each other. Policies that merge or sum item counts will only apply to players with an account in both server regions, and players within those regions can find the specifics below.
Merge Policy
Market, Auction House, and Currency Exchange
Cancels all posted items and offers listed on the Item Market, Auction House and Currency Exchange in both Regions prior to the merge.
Guild & Character Names
Characters with duplicated character names will be reset based on following conditions:
Retains the name of the character that belongs to a roster with a higher max character level.
If condition A ties, retains the name of the first created character.
Characters with reset names will be prompted to change their name when logging in.
Overlapped guild names will be reset and receive a '##' in front of the original name based on following conditions:
Retains the name of first created guild between two.
If condition A ties, retains the target region data and resets the source region one.
A Guild name change ticket for the guilds with force-changed names will be added as a token for guild masters.
Social
Friend Info & Recent List
Friend list and friend requests will be retained and the list will reflect the character name changes due to duplicates.
Names from the recent list will not be changed and stay as they were pre-merge.
Progression events, Tickets, & Tokens
Powerpasses, Character Slot Extension Tickets, Reskin Tickets, Name Change Tickets, and Guild Name Change Tickets will all follow the same policy:
Paid Tokens will be summed up to the cap.
