Author | Merge - January |
27 days and counting down ^^ |
for Dionysus:
Or less ;-) |
or more |
Hi, I was asked to throw the text my friend from RU server, it simply is not registered on COM
Greetings! =) My name is Dennis, I am registered on the RU server.
I read your forum and want to express their opinion on the server consolidation. (I apologize in advance, I use Google translate)
Really looking forward to join, because I think that the worst of anyone will not. Yes, there are angry, some just do not like something, it happens. But in general, I can only see the positives - there will be more good characters may be introduced new kinds of battles, and in general, I hope for a good friendship of the people =)
There are certainly a lot of questions - how it is made? What about balance? It is too early to draw conclusions, make assumptions. Yes, in the beginning will not be so smooth as we would like, but the administration will try to do everything to the players from both servers to be comfortable. |
Nice that someone from .ru has made the effort to make contact with us :-)
It seems the reactions over there are similar to here. Greetings back to Dennis and thanks to hoolygan for delivering the message. |
for Laitha: I totally agree with you!
My personal opinion is that we can just expect great things from the merging of the two servers. I am back to lordswm after 2 years of stop because of this and also my clan is wakeing up little by little.
We have great expectancies, let's cross the fingers! |
I am categorically opposed to consolidate servers. This is a bad idea. The need to develop our server for foreign players or... just close it. |
I think merge could be in 5th, 6th or 7th Jan, cause event end on 4th :-P think admins must have time to transfer all thinks :-P |
It would be devastating for roulette players who are going to try their luck with all their gold :)
I don't think it will happen because it will be hard to calculate all costs, like for a sword with enchantments which has been repaired x times and has half durability.. How do you know its price?
Also every estate was bought for a different price.
1. The game will be down during the merge. So, you would go to sleep with items on this server, wake up with a pile of gold on the .ru server. The roulette players should not be effected much. As a general tendency, they do not have many possessions to begin with.
2. The price of the unused arts is the price they are sold at.
The used arts are prorated considering remaining durability, original price and sale price.
The enchantments are taken off and converted back into the elements that were used for enchanting. The elements are then liquidated as well.
3. Estates are "demolished". All the rooms and such that were built since the last purchase are removed, refunding the building cost. Then the estate is purchased by the empire at the cost it was bought at.
Basically, everything that was bought is either sold to the Empire or converted into gold at the purchase price, using formulas to figure out any deprecation for durability used. |

Merging the two servers isn't something that will be done at a matter of minuts or hours, it may even take days for all we know.
But what flour mentioned looks quite realistic. |
for Flour:
Wake up with pile of gold ? You mean we get free gold from alempire after merge ?
If so, Is it applicable to all ? |
26 days and counting down ^^ |
@369: #2: what is mechanism for elements? also unique/hunter artifacts have very low "sell value" |

Let me be clear that liquidation is my suggestion of how the merge to be done. I have no knowledge of what will actually happen.
As to the question, I think they can use median market prices over the last week or so to assign prices for non shop artifacts and elements. |
for Flour:
see, you have misled a lot people here :P |
for Flour:
I think that arts and elements should remain in inventory. Many players keep them not because of their market value but because they can use them in combats sooner or later and this is why they bought it. So many can be unhappy by changing their arts and elements to gold. Only arts that cannot be transferred could be changed to gold, such as some rare arts sets that have different parameters from sets on .ru (venomancer set for example).
Also changing lots of enchants into gold could affect economy (too much gold in system) and many diamond users, who often have enchants, would have now a lot of gold instead, so they would not buy diamonds after merge for some time.
Regarding issue with estates and arts in estates, it would be I think most comfortable for players here to connect our map with the one on .ru, so that one or few provinces would be connected with provinces on .ru and you could travel there or stay here. We could still feel at home by doing merge that way. |
2 days remembered his password from the character =)
This again Dennis.
I agree with # 376, because to take away from the character and instead immuschestvo pan out no one would, it would not be fair. Because many things have been amassed a long and hard work. About the card too interested on RU server is an island, perhaps there will be is a portal for communication between two worlds. This island is 7-8 months we can not attend, he just has it. So it was prepared for anything. |
Interestingly, Google has turned bad, or the meaning is clear? |
connect our map with the one on .ru, so that one or few provinces would be connected with provinces on .ru and you could travel there or stay here
i belive this is the way servers will be merged
easiest to do, i guess
also, if i remember well, in some of the official posts, there is a part that suggest something like that
in a post where empress and a wizzard from .ru talk through a crystal ball or something
changing all elements and enchanted arts in gold would produce a total chaos on the market, i think
prices of elements would go sky high |

I don't think so,Arctic's post is very clear
The plan is to have a happy peaceful holiday season and then grab our suitcases and move over. |
