Hail Heroes!
It's the Lineage2 Revolution Team back again with even more exciting news for you! We would like to give you some information on the confirmed details of the Server Merge.
Following the Developer's Notes - Part 4 on the Server Merge, a lot of our users gave their opinions, suggestions and expectations. We, the Developer's Team, fully understand our Heroes concerns and we are continuously working hard to provide results that our users will be content with.
As we have to approach the Server Merge cautiously, we are proceeding by taking our users opinions into account to make sure that they fully understand. We would like to share with you confirmed details of the Server Merge and we hope that you, our users will give your valued opinions. We will try our best to reflect your opinions and suggestions as we proceed.
1. We are planning to carry out the Server Merge at the end of November.
As this is an enormous task, our Developer's have been constantly discussing and working hard to ensure a safe merge of the Servers. We will give you more details on the schedule once it is confirmed.

2. The Server Merge will be carried out for Servers in the same group.
We decided to carry out the merge in the same server group because we know that our Heroes have formed a bond with the other Heroes in their Server group. Therefore, we decided to merge servers in one server group instead of merging servers from different server groups. The name of the merged server will be similar to the current server names. We are currently discussing what the name of the new server should be.

3. We are currently reviewing various aspects of the Server Merge.
These aspects include connectivity, total average Combat Power and others. We do understand that a lot of our users see the Server Combat Power and Ranking as a vital element of the game. That is why instead of simply considering the number of users that login at the same time, we are looking at other aspects as well. This is being reviewed very carefully internally. Once we finalize our decision, we will let you know.

4. Character, Currency, Clan/Friends information of the Server to be integrated will be transferred safely.
For example, if Dion 01 and Dion 02 are merged and a new server is formed the Characters that were in both Dion 01 and Dion 02 will be kept. However, this is assuming that all the characters are in the same account. In addition, all the Red/Blue Diamonds that the character has will be kept. The same goes for items in the inventory and mailbox, Clan information(Level, Currency, etc) and Friend list. However, characters that do not have a record of game progress or do not satisfy the following conditions may be removed during the Server Merge.

The same goes for items in the inventory and mailbox, Clan information(Level, Currency, etc) and Friend list. However, characters that do not have a record of game progress or do not satisfy the following conditions may be removed during the Server Merge.
a) If the status of the account is dormant. If you do not login for more than 15 days, your account becomes a dormant account.
b) If your Character level is lower than level 10. (i.e from level 9 and below)
c) If you have not made at least one purchase.
Note that your character will only get deleted if you satisfy ALL three of the above conditions. If you do not meet at least one of the above conditions, your character will not be deleted. For example,
i) If the last login date for Account A is 1st October it becomes a dormant account. The level for Character A is 150 and that of Character B is 5 and Character C is 3. All the Characters in this account will not be deleted.
ii) If the last login date for Account B is 1st October it becomes a dormant account. The level for Character A is 2 and that of Character B is 3 and Character C is 4. All the Characters in this account will be deleted.
iii) If the last login date for Account C is 1st October and at least one purchase has been made in this account then none of the characters are deleted regardless of their level.
iv) If the last login date for Account D is 24th November the account is not a dormant account. The level for Character A is 5 and that of Character B is 1 and Character C is 2. All the Characters in this account will not be deleted.
v) If the last login date for Account E is 24th November, the account is not a dormant account. The level for Character A is 150 and that of Character B is 1 and Character C is 2. All the Characters in this account will not be deleted.
vi) If the last login date for Account F is 24th November and at least one purchase has been made in this account then none of the characters will be deleted regardless of their level.

5. We will be distributing Character and Clan Name Change Tickets.
In the case that after the merge there are duplicate Character or Clan names, we will add a temporary letter to your current Character/Clan name. This is to avoid any issues that may arise due to duplicate Character/Clan names in the merged Server. After the Server Merge, you can choose your Character Name and/or Clan name using the Name Change Ticket that we will provide. In addition, since we would like our users to maintain their previous Character name/Clan name as much as possible after the server merge, we will be letting our users pre-select the Clan/Character name that they used until 11/16 1:00 PM [UTC+8]. Character/Clan names created after 11/16 1:00PM [UTC+8] will not be given the option to be pre-selected.

6. A new season in the Arena will start.
The current season will last until the Server Merge. A lot of aspects have been taken into consideration to ensure fairness in the new season that will start after the Server Merge.

7. The Clans that have conquered Fortresses will be reset.
The clans that have conquered fortresses will be reset, but we will be giving out rewards to the Clans that managed to conquer Fortresses the week before the Server Merge. We will give more details about this in a further notice.

We will give more details apart from this when we carry out the Server Merge. As always we ask that you give us your opinions and suggestions about the Server Merge and we will try our best to reflect them.
This is all we have for you today in our Developer's Notes. We will continue to listen to the suggestions that our users have until this becomes a Lineage2 Revolution that our Heroes want to see. We will do the best to be the best Developer's Team.
Thank you!
