Merge

  • ErGeNeKoN


    Just a FYI - if you meet the criteria for normal server transfers then you will have 5 servers to transfer to.


    The server that opened today will not be merged and there will be 4 new servers opening in your community, based on your 44 number posted above, giving you 5 servers to transfer to (4 free and 1 paid)

  • badidolIf a player has 11 multi accounts on one server, they will have 110 accounts on 10 servers. When the servers merge and there are 4 servers, 44 of these accounts will be allocated to the servers. The remaining 66 accounts will go to the graveyard. After the merge is complete, 66 accounts will start leaking from the graveyard to the servers. Do you have the ability to detect this

    If you put 12 accounts on one server, you will get banned.


    The reality is someone with that many accounts can just go to a different region.

    They aren't getting banned with different IPs and lobbies. They have found ways around it.

  • Why are new servers being made if old servers are being merged to consolidate?

    The NEW servers are where the OLD servers will auto Merge into, other than the servers that opened on the 20th

  • when will we get the option to move bwtween comunities finally?.. -,-

    and to get rid of that nonsense rule of "top 50" for the old servers...?

    You get 2 weeks to choose a new server from when your communities merger date starts -- see HERE for ALL information

    Yes, they do. Especially given your example. Originally, they were playing by the rules (11 accounts per server). Now they aren't. That would result in a ban.


    If you believe someone is violating the IP sharing treaty, use report player in game.

  • Noone is violating anything. Everything is permitted.


    It would be fun, if all these accounts fill the servers.

    this is not what i asked for...it has nothing to do with choosing a different comunity which is currently still under that nonsense "top 50 rule"


    on merges we simply can choose the new destination but ONLY within the merged comunities


    and it's not only about the merges too, it is about being able to move after the event


    for example...going back to the original comunity after ending up on UK due to a period of inactivity...

  • I thin I hit the wrong quote for my reply - I was answering someone that had asked how long they had to choose a new server - my apologies

  • You'd have to ask support about that. How big is your account and what community do you want to go back to? You might be able to after the merges.

  • badidol ..

    While in merging "weeks", is it going to happen any "ambrosia" event with 100% more?

    (the "monopoly" of ambrosia, says they are offering it cheaper )


    Also 1 more question to any player.

    When merging occurs, our cities are placed in random islands? Or we can choose islands? (besides the items for re-placing cities)

  • I can not answer for the Ambrosia event but as to the Island placement I can


    The game will try to place you on the same type of Island that you originally were on (Marble to Marble, etc. ...) and as close to each other as possible as well.


    Remember: The game goes in the order of the QUE based on the order in which players click to me moved, so the earlier that you move the better your chances because the latter players will have fewer Islands for the game to choose from to keep with the same resource type and closeness togetherness.

    I don't know. I know the schedule for sales actions and Happy Days a couple of days before I announce them and I have a date on which I am supposed to announce them.

    For the record, this is also how graveyarding works. If the place you left is available, it will replace you there.

    I have a request:

    I have "suffered" 2 merges till now (and one more at Ares), and all of them had the same start time. About 11-12 CET. Is it possible to change that once at least, and choose a time that we are not at work so not to be with a "time" disadvantange for one more time? The players that don't work or have a flexible work can log in immediatetly after the merge starts, and take all good positions, in addition the put millions of multiples to fill many islands. So a few hours later, when we, the normal people who working a day job, try to go to a target server, have the same problem again. The others doesn't have to move at all (they keep the transnportations at the inventory) and we don't have a good place to move and fit all our towns. I believe you should think this parameter and do something for it and be as fair as possible . Of course everytime a merge starts is a working day and not a Sunday for examble.

    You'll never manage "fairness" for all. Even if we moved the merge start to let's say 20:00 CET, there'd still be hundreds of players moaning about that start time then.

    And we work, too. And we won't start working Saturdays or Sundays just for this.

    The merge start requires us to be present, as well. So it'll always be during working hours.

    As humans we are moaning all day, for everything. There isn't a solution for that. (besides the lemons and the juice example..)

    But we could tweak it a little bit.


    You could give motivation, as a possible solution.

    People who would move towards merge after 20:00 CET, ( even if the merge starts at 11:00) they will take a gift item. Let's say, a 10-day pass for +20% of luxury goods. (or 1MM of wood, in boxes strictly for donations)


    ( This maybe will share and the "traffic" moving accounts)

    Personally, I prefer to get there last. Yes, I will lose the spots, but I will not have the hundreds of multis around me. I will have fewer..

    Don't forget the tale with the Rabbit and the Turtle. (it's an example that many times came true)


    Also, I have some.. questions, while I wasn't ever to any merge.

    How the merge, starts? We are going to lobby and from there...? or with some kind of item in invetory? ..or there is bar (like the "hydra" event bar) ?


    The account can go to merge if it is in vacations? Can the account go to merge, if someone is attacking me?
