With ArcheAge’s server merger coming later this year and Trion Worlds vague on details, players naturally have a lot of questions to ask. In order to keep players updated as the plans move along, Trion Worlds has set up an evolving FAQ on the ArcheAge forums answering questions as they pop up.
As we saw in Trion’s latest stream, it looks like ArcheAge’s ‘non-traditional’ merger will emerge in the form of opening up a new server and then shuffling players from their server to these new “evolved” servers. This is how mergers were handled in the Russian version of ArcheAge.
We are still looking at a number of options before solidifying the process. The basic plan is as follows: new servers will be created, and players from current low population servers will be moved to these shiny new servers. Yes, that means… LAND RUSH! All other details are under evaluation.
I mentioned in my column yesterday that any merge should naturally see the legacy servers eventually being closed down, and while that hasn’t been confirmed, the FAQ does say that inactive characters will most likely be moved automatically to the new servers:
Most likely, players who are on a low population server and inactive at the time of the Evolution will be relocated automatically.
It’s important to remember that nothing in the FAQ should be considered finalized at this point, that more questions will be answered in the coming weeks/months, as more details are set in stone. You can follow the link below to read the current FAQ.
