We will be performing a World Merge to resolve this issue so players may enjoy all the content the game has to offer.

Please refer to the "Guidance on the World Merge" for more details.


[Guidance on the World Merge]

- Schedule
World Merge will be performed during the upcoming version update. Once the version update is complete, characters from the "Source Worlds" will be migrated automatically to the "Destination Worlds".

* The schedule for the version update will be released at a later date.


- Details on the World Merge
The following is a list of worlds designated for the World Merge.
Source World Destination World

Fairy -> Sylph
Kujata -> Valefor
Remora -> Leviathan
Midgardsormr -> Quetzarcoatl
Hades -> Cerberus
Seraph -> Bismarck
Garuda -> Lakshmi
Pandemonium -> Asura
* Other worlds will not be affected.


- Things to note for the World Merge
Character Data:
Other than the data listed below, all character data will be transferred to the new world. This includes character status, belongings, gil and key items.

Character Name:
In cases where a character with the same name already exists on the "Destination World," you may be required to change the name of your character. If this is necessary, your character name on the character selection screen before login will be displayed in yellow. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the change.

Changing the character name will not affect data such as your Friends List.

Items stored in the Delivery Box or Auction House:
Items and gil stored in the Delivery Box or Auction House will be deleted automatically when the World Merge takes place. Please move them to your character's belongings or Mog Safe before the World Merge.

Please note that items and gil lost in the merge cannot be restored through the Item Restoration service.

Linkshell, Pearlsack and Linkpearl:
Pearlsacks and Linkpearls cannot be carried over to the "Destination World," and will disappear during the World Merge. Linkshell owners will receive an unopened Linkshell when they log into the "Destination World" for the first time. Unopened Linkshells will not be affected by the merge.

Please note that you will need to create a new Linkshell Community after creating a new linkshell on the "Destination World."


- Suspension of the World Transfer Service
The World Transfer service will be suspended from Mar. 9, 2010 7:00 PST until the World Merge is complete.


- Suspension of the Character Reactivation Service
The Character Reactivation Service will be suspended from Mar. 9, 2010 7:00 PST until the World Merge is complete.


- Regarding the worlds Odin and Bahamut
After the World Merge is complete, the following services will be reinstated:

Character transfers to Odin/Bahamut.
Creating a new character on Odin/Bahamut.
Issuing a Gold World Pass on Odin/Bahamut.

Huh?

This. And it doesn't affect everyone, sadly. I want some new neighbors.

[Mineyl]

Ugh, this blows. What the hell is a Lakshmi, anyway?

I suppose it was inevitable...

[Kekeo]

Nom nom nom.

I like how you think.

Fuck forced server merge. I dont mind being crowded onto a different server, but I do mind losing my name. Most other vets feel the same way.

That does kinda suck~

[Kayci]

I honestly would rather be Kayci-Mid instead of having to change my name
show my roots and all

[Velhart]

Never thought Asura would get a merge, shows how much I know.

[Sephirothxii]

I finally get to change my name!

Wow, how did I not think of this. Wonder how they'll be handling that.

If someone has your name on the destination server, you have to change yours. Simple. Just like if you did a server transfer.

Some people, including me, have created a mule of their main char's name on the destination server to prevent someone taking their name between now and the merge.

Although, people could also use this method to guarantee a change in name, if that's what they wanted.

[rambus]

when is the server merge update?

Whenever the March update takes place. SE hasn't confirmed the date yet.

Thank god.

People need to be more creative ;p

[Cruxus]

When exactly is this taking place, as far as date wise? I've talked with ppl from my dynamis shell and all seem to be under the impression that it is tomorrow (Tuesday March 9th) which I assume is based off of the World Transfer service and Registration services being unavailable starting then. However I've yet to see an actual statement from SE saying it's this week, which I assumed would've been posted this afternoon if it was taking place this week...
