What happens if you just graveyard your account now, and decide to resurrect if after the merge completes and you fit into top50 of the both (and only) servers available? You will have to choose another country? What if you fit into top50 of every server after the merge? You just sit there, dangling in the graveyard?

Dear players,
in some parts of Germany, today (31.10.2024) is a bank holiday, in others tomorrow will be one, too.
Let's abuse this as an excuse for a long bonus weekend, shall we?
Starting today (31.10.2024) at 14:30 CET until 03.11. 23:59 CET the following bonuses will be active:

Well, that's an interesting way of seeing things. You are right about this, let see how it goes.
So let me add one more perspective (in case anyone is wondering).
If there was no "Merge World Festival" and 1 player had to level up the Saw Mill from zero to Level 60 on his/her island by himself/herself, how big would the "mountain" be in front of him/her?
It will need 5 Billion 299 Million 388 Thousand 126 Wood or 83 Thousand 650 Ambrosia.
It will take 9 Months 3 Days 4 Hours 23 Minutes 44 Seconds to achieve this.

With great power comes great responsibility.

You'd put a ticket in, they'd see that you graveyarded before the merge, and you'd likely be waived to merge to any of the servers.

And? What's wrong about that?
Initially, that rule is there for a reason and will be enforced. We WILL initially ask the player to try various target servers. The case "is in the Top 50 everywhere" is rarer than it seems here. Not everybody is the hero they make themselves out to be in chats and forums
Having said that, in the case that a player really can not transfer themselves manually the practice it to transfer them back to the server of origin. This will no longer be possible after this year's merge, obviously. So if a origin server no longer exists, the oldest server is chosen, for the reasoning that the rest of the players there will have at least a similar level of development as the highscore superhero the support case is about. That is the current practice.
-
A slight change/clarification we can already announce: "younger servers" will not be merged. Servers started on and after 09.02.2024 will therefore not be merged and remain as they are right now.
According to the above statement, Perseus should not be included in the merger in TR. Perseus does not appear permanently on the list announced today.

The new merge servers would not be the oldest servers at that point though.
I think Hera would be at least that's what it shows for me 174 days which would be feb9thotherwise it would be Aeneas at 104 days which would be even more comical for someone who can't go to merge 1-4 because they're too large.

I do recall August is a summer season for Germany and people enjoy their vacations, even if you show the notification tomorrow, thousands of players won't see it on time, because they'd be out on a vacation and a big (and nasty) surprise will greet them.
Good point!
Italians and Greeks too love their holidays.
Filipino's dodging typhoons.
GF's surprise is more important than the lives of its customers.

This is a German game - do we really need to start checking what each date could mean in every other country?
wut?????

Will the new servers count as "new" when it comes to "happy hour" and other discounts. Since technically they will be less than a year old, but in reality they would be made from servers that are a lot older than that.
It would be strange to get those worse discounts for ambrosia

What will happen too the accounts that are not beying used and are ghosted before merge?
Will all the accounts that are not beying used or not transfered in time, beying deleted or will they beyin transfered too the Gravyard?

They'll go to the grave yard like normal.

How many days afther the deadline will the accounts that are ghosted or all the other accounts be transfered too the gravyard?
Lets just say that If the deadline is 12.09, how many days afther will i see my account in the gravyard?

Im not sure if they're sent to the grave yard instantly or if it's the normal grave yard period.
EDIT: I think they'll have to grave yard like normal.. because the merger runs for a couple weeks.. So I think it's at the end that they're sent to the grave yard if they hadn't elapse inactivity yet.
everyone who is not inactive goes into Vmode at the start and has to pick a server when signing in.. at least thats my understanding.. maybe someone who went thru the areas merger can correct if wrong.

30 days so if you want to be in the GY before the merge, you need to start GYing now.

Quote from Reaver
Why do you care? If you're a builder, you want more wood and marble, right? Why the need for an army? Of course, also on builders server can be wars and fights, but remember that EVERYONE is affected by that nerf, not only you. If you are a peaceful builder and do not want wars, but still get attacked, when building army for defense is not only you who have to pay much for the army, but also the attacker!
Because most people are some blend of fighter and builder. There are plenty of builders who fight and fighters that build. It's not an either or. I currently play in 7 large active alliances across 3 different servers. I would say at least 95% of the people in those alliances are a combination of builder and fighter. So yes, builders are going to care about the penalties to troops. Pure fighter alliances are more likely to have access to military banks and therefore bypass this nerf.

I just wanted to say "Thank you" to badidol and the rest of the Ikariam team, for listening to the concerns of the community (regardless of which location opinions and ideas were shared).
As they mentioned, I don't think there will, or even can be, a "perfect" solution.
But in looking at the final info, one can tell they were listening.
There's really no good place for me to say this, so I chose this popular thread.
Thanks again.

Can anyone help me with which server does system 2 correspond to? Us 53 or Us 54?

Can anyone help me with which server does system 2 correspond to? Us 53 or Us 54?
In order of mentioning.
So
Communities, that will retain 2 servers will have the following choices:
Server 1
Production of Wood and Marble will be 35% higher than normal.
Buildings are built 25% faster than normal.
Trade Ships are 25% faster than normal.
Troops and ships are built 50% slower than normal.
Troops cost twice to build as much as than normal.Server 2
Production of Wood and Sulfur will be 50% higher than normal.
Production of Wine is 20% higher than normal.
Buildings are built 10% faster than normal.
Troops and ships are built 25% faster.
Land units are 25% cheaper to build.
Land units move 50% faster than normal.
Priest conversion rate increased by 40% (7 conversions per priest instead of the normal 5).in combination with
us_53
Eurydike
us_54
Kreontranslates to us_54 (Kreon) being Server 2 and us_53 (Eurydike) being Server 1.
Analogue the servers for the comms with 4 merge targets go from top to bottom, 1 to 4.
