I'm still working on gathering up more questions and answers, so if there's something that hasn't been asked or answered so far please let me know here in this thread.
Remove items from clan warehouses. Only Adena will be transferred with the clan warehouse. -> lel way to be lazy ... I'm almost certain these can be transferred also
Would you be able to share what problems do you have with this transfer I'm sure there's plenty of DBAs around that could lend a hand.

Although the offer is appreciated, it's unfortunately not that simple. A server merge is never a simple process, and that's only compounded when merging 3 of them.

We did want to post this guide as early as possible to give everyone enough time to make the appropriate plans to move items and prepare for the merge.
what about Dimensional items? I have several eva , drop runes from my monthly prestige pack...
hero coins will be reset?
hero coins will be reset?

good1 +1
Yes , you are right it's pretty involved even private servers had trouble with this.. As far as I know there is an SQL stored procedure for moving the character data between world ids that transfers (char name , pledge id , account name account id , gender , race , class ,world , the loc information (x,y,z) the items information , the character stats and all that ) but it's safe to assume there's no procedure for the clan
hero coins will be reset?

Hero Coin rewards are not a part of the server merge, but they will be updated with tomorrow's maintenance.

Please keep this thread for questions about the server merge only.

We'll be keeping track of questions asked in this thread and getting out answers for things not covered in the guide as soon as we can.
Char names.

If I have char XXX in Magmeld, some1 other have same name "XXX" in shilen/bartz. When we log in new server Freya we both get name "XXX1/2" option to change name or just 2tn and 1th log not get option and save his "XXX"= 1th who log may free log with name "XXX" w/o pop-up for change name?

Other, if some to other 2/3 ppl have same name "YYY1/2" and one of them decide to change name to "XXX" as some1 other who is still not online and not have claimed his original name "XXX" did when some of that original char's with "XXX" log will must pick some other name instead "XXX"?

As said in the guide, we'll have a separate article on Clan Halls coming out soon.
Name conflicts are covered under the "Server Merge Special Cases" in the guide.

Name Changes After the Server Merge
If your character's name has been changed in the server merge due to a name conflict, you will have to change its name before entering the game. Successfully keeping an original name is still technically a name change because by doing so you will be getting rid of the number that was appended to the name to resolve the name conflict during the merge. Name conflicts are basically resolved by giving the desired name to the first player that requests it, but there are certain conditions. If multiple parties have the same name pre-merge whoever logs in will be able to first claim the name. However, if the other parties would like to also have a fair chance for the name as well, they can request the support team to investigate the character history on each parties respective server.

To keep or change your character name:

As you log in after the server merge, in the character selection screen, you may see that a character has a new number at the end of its name. This means that your character had a character name conflict. If you don't have a new number at the end of your character's name, you can log straight in to the game.
When you select a character that has a name conflict, a message box pops up explaining that there was a character name conflict. It says: "Please enter your desired name."
You can enter in your original character name. Entering your original character name lets you check to see if the name is still available.
If a character has already claimed the name that you are trying to assign to your character, you will not be able to use that name.
You will see the above popup message box. Enter a different character name in the message box. Repeat this process until you have successfully renamed your character. You can now log in with that new name.
There will be an appeals process for those players who lose a name due to griefing or name-stealing tactics. If you lose a name due to griefing, send a support ticket and we will investigate the issue. If you lose a name and you're not sure if it was through griefing or if it was a legitimate name-claim, send a support ticket so the GM team can investigate for you.
Bro I not see here what i ask so that why ask...

Let me ask simple.

If I'm Staroto in Magmeld and some1 other is in shilen Staroto. Did we both get Staroto1/Staroto2 and both get option to change to new name or 1th who log in auto save name Staroto and just another one who have Staroto(1/2) will get pop-up to puck other name? That is my 1th quastion.

For 2th, If both Staroto1/Staroto2 are not still log and no1 form them claimed Staroto as name did some1 others who alredy log and have name1/name2 may change to Staroto even fact the before merge there no1 from them was Staroto?
Hero Coin rewards are not a part of the server merge, but they will be updated with tomorrow's maintenance.

Sorry Buster, but I guess he's trying to ask if we are going to keep our hero coins during the merge? If it's like a normal transfer, I do know we do keep it!

And one more question, in case of no name conflicts, we will be able to change it before logging or it will remain the same?

Thank you for your patience!
buster or juji

well I have a question, and the warehouse of my character have to clean it too?
or only clan warehouse?!

Read that link, char inventory/wh is ok, just mail/ah/item broker in chars have problem and need to be clean.

In that case, hero coins should be kept during the merge but I will double check.

In the case of no name conflict, then you will find your characters on Freya just as they are named now; no option to change will show up for those characters.

That is covered in the "After the Server Merge" section of the guide.
http://www.lineage2.com/en/news/announcements/03222016-shilen-magmeld-and-bartz-server-merge-guide.php


I know that there is a lot of information there, but please take some time to read the guide carefully and thoroughly. It may not cover all specific scenarios, and those can be addressed individually but a majority of the larger questions are covered.

yes I read, but not explained the problem of Char-Shilen Nick same Magmeld: CharX-Magmeld
warehouse of the characters? will have a problem?


For the clans there appears to be problems.

For the clans there appears to be problems.

The names of characters does not affect the transfer of the warehouses; the character warehouses will transfer intact.

From the guide:
Inventory and private warehouse items for all characters that are successfully transferred will remain intact.
Buster name question as well:
What if the scenario is Playerx1 has other name in other server and this guy playerxx1 is the same as well is there a chance that Playerx1 can pick the name of playerxx1 or only the people who has the name premerge can repick their names again tnx
The names of characters does not affect the transfer of the warehouses; the character warehouses will transfer intact.

From the guide:
If I have the inventary and warehouse expandex by skill, I can lost items ?
I do all the things I have in the ware of the clan?
to where I can move, you might not have to lose all my stuff ...
...and if I have no inventory space, or private?

The merge will happen with the maintenance on April 13th, 2016.

Thanks for the info.
1) But you´re planning some bans for the RTM chars near gatekeepers?.

At least in shilen they´re ALWAYS (im not screaming btw is only to give some impact) blocking the way, and are annoying. I think is the same in Magmeld and Bartz.

2) What about traffic? (not that traffic https://store-images.s-microsoft.com/image/apps.20134.9007199266250122.00d88580-d2d5-4900-b932-8e78e330dd06.b44c28f5-d6c4-4915-bcf5-9af80a7c95b2?w=96&h=96&q=60, server traffic :p)

Merging these 3 server will, end up in a new Chronos or even higher (3425 right now)

EDIT 1

3) Names and max characters. What if your Character name has 16 characters?

Name Your Character
Enter the name you want to give your character. Names may be up to 16 alphanumeric characters in length.


For example: qwertyuiopasdfgh, tecnically can't be qwertyuiopasdfgh1 or qwertyuiopasdfgh2.

If the compound fail the data of the others 2 server will be lost and ramain only one? :D
i will pray for the compound succes, because ncsoft compounding rates are always like 15% success ;S!:confused:
So I come because I got a tiny question.

About warehouse (private^^)
They got transfered fully?
(I mean even bounds item etc)

Also a little tips would be to block characters creation to prevent futher "problem" with names conflict peoples would voluntary create just to steal the name.
Is there any posibility, in the near future, brooch and jewells will become tradable within the same account ^^? It would be so helpful and with the new changes that would be perfect to add :D.
Bro I not see here what i ask so that why ask...

Let me ask simple.

If I'm Staroto in Magmeld and some1 other is in shilen Staroto. Did we both get Staroto1/Staroto2 and both get option to change to new name or 1th who log in auto save name Staroto and just another one who have Staroto(1/2) will get pop-up to puck other name? That is my 1th quastion.

For 2th, If both Staroto1/Staroto2 are not still log and no1 form them claimed Staroto as name did some1 others who alredy log and have name1/name2 may change to Staroto even fact the before merge there no1 from them was Staroto?IMO, fairness....the oldest birthday for same names should get to keep their name untouched. But we don't do fair here....
Yes , you are right it's pretty involved even private servers had trouble with this..

So get a job at NCW and fix all the things you know better than they do. We need you!
The guide has been updated with new information about character mail.


3) Names and max characters. What if your Character name has 16 characters?

Name Your Character
Enter the name you want to give your character. Names may be up to 16 alphanumeric characters in length.


For example: qwertyuiopasdfgh, tecnically can't be qwertyuiopasdfgh1 or qwertyuiopasdfgh2.
Length won't matter, a number will still be appended if needed.

RE other questions about name conflicts and character warehouses, all of those are addressed in the guide. But just to reiterate, all character warehouse items will transfer intact. If, and only if, one of your characters has a name conflict will you be given the option to change. The rules for this are outlined in the guide, along with the necessary steps to resolve any conflicts involving the "stealing" of names.
Length won't matter, a number will still be appended if needed.

Thanks for the answer.

I do all the things I have in the ware of the clan?
to where I can move, you might not have to lose all my stuff ...
...and if I have no inventory space, or private?

A good question. But there are some easy ways to not lose items.

1) If your account, not stay with more than 6 characters after merge, create one extra character and give items to him, using both its inventory and its private warehouse.

2) If your account, not stay with more than 7 characters, create a new account and give items to the necessary characters, using both its inventory and its private warehouse.


New character creation on Shilen, Magmeld, and Bartz will be disabled starting on April 6th, 2016
sorry buster know you guys are busy
only one question which i cant find a answer to
teleport items area's that a player has set on thier server will that transfer or be reset and if reset will we be getting the items we bought reurned to our inventory or will they just be lost

This post is a clear example of relatively new players that are not aware of L2 NCWest history from Closed Beta till today..

when L2 was released for the Western worlds in 2003 (Closed Beta) 2004 General release there was only NCWest so the first 3 servers had a mix of players from NA / Latins America / Euro / Russia etc. and it stayed like that for many years..

what people call EU L2 Core is something from ~2013 or so and most NCWest server players stayed here for various reasons like friends/clans/not wanting to rebuild chars etc.

now when Bartz/Shilien/Magmeld were created many Euro/Russia players who were tired of their old servers politics or just wanted a fresh start or easy farm for XP/gear moved there..

now reality is that on all NCWest servers there are still huge communities of NA / Latins America / Euro / Russia - even on Chronos server there are close to equal amount of Euro players as NA/LA players so the outcome of timezone voting was very predictable and if done on all servers it would have been more or less the same for all of them except maybe Zaken as there was much more marketing (Steam) promotion done in NA to make that happen but again even there you will find that at least 25% of the player base is Euro..

long story short there is NO such thing as a pure NA/LA server on NCWest

ps, if NCWest would set all servers on NA timezone L2 would no longer be profitable for them to run as that means at least 50+% of all NCoin spenders would quit play L2 on NCWest servers and that's just plain bad business practice and unwanted by all imo
sorry buster know you guys are busy
only one question which i cant find a answer to
teleport items area's that a player has set on thier server will that transfer or be reset and if reset will we be getting the items we bought reurned to our inventory or will they just be lost
thanks for your time

I'll check on that.
BusterCasey can you spoil the info about Freya's timezone ? I can't sleep.... :(

Setting all the servers NA timezone won't be healthy, but is the same case with the opposite
BusterCasey can you spoil the info about Freya's timezone ? I can't sleep.... :(
I'll be updating the guide by tomorrow afternoon to include the time zone and answer some more questions that were brought up.
Buster my question is when you will make service change dual to main because juji said last month you are technically ready and just need to connect it and make it on the l2 site as buy option service.
I want to pay you asap and use this option and I am sure a lot more ppl will change their dual to mains too.

My clan have pay 2b+ before 4years for our Goddard top clan hall, did will that adena be back or some other XXX adena?

I won't be able to give every clan the exact amount of Adena they'll be receiving, but I'll try to find a way to let everyone know an estimate of how much they can expect.

Well you must know the every CH owners have pay big money and to they have chance to get some top or w/e clan hall in new Freya server they need to be proper pay out. If we have top clan hall and lose in merge you as NC need to compensate good adena to we try get new in new server. What is point if you give use 100kk when with that adena we not may even enter in new auction. Adena (for top ch) must be in billions.
So bartz players go from gmt-5 to gmt+1
shilen go from +0 to +1
magmeld from -2 to +1

average time on that would be the gmt-2 and everyone would be happy not to mention that u put naia/chronos/zaken players voting...


i guess free server transfers to players in those 3 servers would be something to think about so we can move a server with times we can play as we creat those accounts in those server because of the gmts and now u just make them like 1-6h diference.

And no i wont care about server transfers. Wont pay 400$ to change my toons to another server
one extra question for time, will be same +1 gmt as naia +1gmt? That is winter +1, in summer =+0. This new Freya server will be same or will go 1h extra?

GMT +1 the server will keep the same as always, because no one will play and EQ will still be there, certainly has open transfer for free to whoever is of 3 servers, now more than ever, who was already there in shillen, magmeld and bartz will get out fast, and freya will count for nothing, Kronos will pack now , freya will be there in your cold and icy server without PVP..
Update (this will be added to the guide as well).

The Time Zone for Freya will be GMT+1.

Please be aware that all server transfers will be on hold from March 30 until April 20, 2016. If you were considering a transfer, make sure to get it in before March 30.

.

NA/SA Players will be able to transfer into Chornos/Zaken as free?

I know, but my point was did CS in freya and CS in naia will start in same time.

Clan Fame will be provided to the Clan that owns any contestable Castles or Clan Halls on the day of the server merge.
Clan Hall Auctions will not stop, however only auctions won before the announcement will be given compensation.

Olympiad Points will be reset
Olympiad Tokens will transfer
Hero characters and weapons will be reset

I'm still working on gathering up more questions and answers, so if there's something that hasn't been asked or answered so far please let me know here in this thread.

I wonder why GMT + 1 has earned being that 54.41% of those who voted not want to GMT + 1, do not want Latin players on their servers, or this and only for these players pay the transfer to Chronos, it would not be fair and honest of you to them to open a free transfer to the Chronos of players of Shilen / Magmeld and Bartz who do not want to play in the GMT + 1.
If they have the same time zone, they should start at same time.

Yes, i just ask because naia was create as winter gmt+1 server. Now Freya will be create in summer time. So if is summer gmt+1 that is not same as naia server.
Chronos will be full now, Freya will get cold, you're not going to have PVP in freya, as always.
Making the timezone gmt + 1 and not offering free transfers to zaken is pretty insulting to many (formerly) loyal NA players. It's basically saying that NCSOFT doesn't care if they can participate in Ceremony of Chaos, Olympiad or sieges. Basically the things that help make L2 fun. Almost not even worth complaining about at this point though, given the level of care you show for your players. I'm downloading Black Desert........
Chronos will be full now, Freya will get cold, it's going to be no PVP freya

From other side all from Chronos have other "EU" time option instead naia. so is two way transfer option. Also im sure the there is many ppl who are nto happy in naia, so will go in another +1 gmt
Hello!
Hello!

Bye!
Name change please call it what it is. First person to login can take any name. Example the name "Bilbo" is on every server. If I log in before any of the original Bilbo's from the three servers they are screwed its now my name. Why not just say everyone is starting over with names because in essence thats what it is. There is no such thing as stealing a name when they open the flood gates first in wins. NCSoft should have had a better plan for this name problem instead of ******* everyone off.
Will we have free transfer to chronos or not?
With this time zone I can´t participate in coc/oly, only siege, so stay in Freya doesn't worth it. To transfer my 3 chars that I play with will cost too much...
Server merge in one word for me: Unmotivated.
Why don´t make a half term? If I have to choose betwen work and university or play L2, then I don´t have an option at all.
Update:


Castle Sieges will begin on April 27, 2016.
My Teleport locations will be transferred.

I'm still checking on the question about the Dimensional Castles.
So bartz players go from gmt-5 to gmt+1
shilen go from +0 to +1
magmeld from -2 to +1

average time on that would be the gmt-2 and everyone would be happy not to mention that u put naia/chronos/zaken players voting...


i guess free server transfers to players in those 3 servers would be something to think about so we can move a server with times we can play as we creat those accounts in those server because of the gmts and now u just make them like 1-6h diference.

And no i wont care about server transfers. Wont pay 400$ to change my toons to another server

NCSoft said they would take the top 2 votes for server time boy did they dupe us. But the euro's are happy to have Naia2. They say one thing then do another. Just another example of poor customer service from NCSoft.
I think that all accounts that are N. American should get free transfers with everything they own.. if you can't participate in events because of time.....
That is just not right. :mad ::( :rolleyes:

I mean to say BE Fair

After all the important details has been out, next thing main thing I wanna know is when is this "New" gameguard gonna be implemented. lets be honest no matter how everyone makes a fuzz about this new server,new update or other stuff everything is futile if bots will be running around shouting selling adena and other stuff :) LF> Answers regarding this matter ASAP

I think you are dreaming if you think NCSoft will do anything for NA hour players for forcing us onto a euro server. I know with the new time I will not be able to participate in coc and oly weekdays. I'm still at work. I understand euro players had to do those late on bartz but why wouldnt you put it in a time in the middle where NA players could still at least participate in some of the events as well as euro's could too. In order for me to get to a server that I could participate in weekday coc/oly I would need to pay to transfer to Chronos or reroll on Zaken.

BTW April 27 is Wednesday, do you mean April 17 same as in other servers or we in new Freya will jump one CS and start from May 1 ?

And pls again, did this +1 will be same as naia +1 and Cs/Oly/COC will start same time as in Naia?

You must realize that the poll was built so whatever the result was... NC Soft could take the maximum profit of it (by server transfers). They deliberaty chose to split in 3 major timzones -5, -2 and 0/+1, knowing that combined, the first two (NA/SA) would outweight the EU timezone (just by looking the server population).
I am sure this will be removed but I am going to be honest. It seems that if two groups vote NA time at a higher number than those that voted GMT+1 that we would go NA time. I also think that if we voted a different time we should be able to transfer to a server that has a more compatible timeframe for free.

However, this will not be the case. We will once again have to transfer on our own money. Way to make the maximum amount of money from this "Free to Play" game. I am seriously thinking of no longer wasting my time on this broken game. Give me a break.

iJeanique
Seriously mad
so much speculations.. let me add another just for the funz, most if not all Euro players on Magmeld/Shilien/Bartz don't like Naia so if the server would have been made same GMT as Chronos it meant those players would quit NCWest and move to EU L2 instead meaning huge loss of revenue for NCWest whereas NA/SA players do not have such alternative and are stuck with NCWest regardless of what they do ;)

btw Buster should just remove all posts about the timezones here as it's derailing the topic and it will not change the facts..
on topic: for those players that are considering to transfer to Chronos don't forget to create your lvl1 name holding chars
Overall the result of this new server being in euro time and not NA time is not because of GM's fault but the voters fault, euro people made a stand and voted as a collective group and went GMT+1 while those that off NA and LA instead of making a single decision as well was divided majority of them went to GMT-2 and some even though its a lost cause still voted for GMT-5. and the GM's made it clear as well that they will pick out of the 2 top selections :) Although with that said if GM's will be making another one of this and just put 2 choices GMT+1 or GMT-2 definitely without a doubt GMT-2 will win :)

Moral Lesson: Next time make sure you make your vote count!
Sorry that you do not like this post Draeke. However, my point is that NcSoft should give the people that voted the GMT-2 or GMT-5 free transfers. I am happy for you guys that got GMT+1

I agree with this I think it should be fair that players should not be forced to play on a server time they didn't sign up for. Although highly doubt Ncsoft will do a pro bono XD
I really hope they actually do some customer service but then again I realize that its NCsoft, and customer service is non existent to them...
all the people from Naia has voted and now they have two server for fun... The real results were: 45,59% (GMT+1) vs 54,41% (GMT-5,-2,+0)
GMT + 1 can not win this way, I hope that NCSoft open free transfer to chronos or many people simply stop playing.
As you can think about a change of 6 hours??, should not even exist GMT + 1, unless NCSoft is thinking of getting rid of Latinos, Donald Thrump is the new CEO of NCSoft???
You have handled this in the worst way, it just had to be an average between GMT-5 and GMT + 0, or finally allow free transfer to chronos to GMT-5,-2 ppl

I am very disappointed in this decision. :mad:
I hope that a GM can answer this.

amigo,
gmt+0 and +1 are in the same "boat"
I don't understand.
You merge the 3 servers with timezone GMT-5,-2,+0 and make a new server GMT +1?,where is the logic?
For GMT+1 may be voted people with server Naia ?
For GMT+1 may be voted bots?
I don't understand.

Read thread again, will see where bots vote, all 91 from same PC/IP. Just be real, if ppl from Naia/Chronos vote where is 1000-2000 players votes will end with less of 1000 for off 4 option.

Tell me how much ppl dailye active have bartz (~100-150), how mach have magmeld have i may tell you less of 200 w/o bots and alts/box. From that 200 more of 70-80 are EU. In shilen im sure is more of 500 active and 90% are EU zone. Just be real in all this 3 servers is more EU instead NA/SA.

And meaning in the merged servers? On new server will be play people from Shilen and we lost people from Bartz and Magmeld.

You take care about yourself but you have to take care of all the players.

PS:In Shilen play more 50% brazilian and latinos ppl, and Shilen have not 500 active ppl, max 200-250.
Yeah Bartz is going from GMT -5 to GMT +1, which makes it 6h difference for Magmeld 3h difference and for Shillen 1h difference. Thats just enough said.
For me its OK, im european folks... but when i see smth like that it just makes me sad.

Instead of make it GMT -1 so it would be 1h difference for both Magmeld and Shillen and not that much difference for Bartz (4h is still better then 6h i guess)

bla bla and bla bla and bla bla bla bla
Is ncwest the new eu server. I think they should have alternating oly,coc,siege time so everyone is happy.
To all the br player at zaken is closer to your time zone.
If u ask me all servers should be -2 or -3

I from Europe too, but I do not want to play on an NEW empty server.
So i guess you guys will let us transfer, to other servers,for free.
Seems you made this server +1, while there is allready a +1 server.
The reason i was on bartz, is that i could participate in all activities.
At all other timezones i'd be working.

Can NCsoft make sure that peoples from Magmeld/Batz/Shilent server vote for this timezone only ? Or anyone from another server can vote for this time zone too ?
NCsoft merge Magmeld/Batz/Shilent to let players from 3 that server have better server , so why dont vote for 3 timezone of 3 that server only ? Why must make GMT+1 ?
Please choice timezone good for all players that play so long on Magmeld/Batz/Shilent only .
JuJi/Case

Players from NA/SA want to know if they will have a chance to transfer as free to Chronos/Zaken or we should stop waste our time here because this Staff don't take care at costumers.

There is no reason to keep leveling/farming if we won't fight a siege/coc.

be quicly "yes" or "no"
So can we still play for free with our Bartz toons ? on the new server

It's funny that -x voters keeps using argument that there is already GMT+1 server and keeps forgetting that there is already also GMT-2 server, so their argument is irrelevant.

Btw. agree with free transfer, you should get it, but it's not up to me..

voting is illegitimate, It is very easy to make a vote with different IP, only you need to use an internet connection via Mobile telephony.
remember that Shilen is the clan with more bots of all servers and were the most excited about leaving the schedule at +1; they used all their accounts bots for this.

In shilen most people comes from South America their time zone are -5 to -3

check only the IP addresses, it is a mistake
I mean seriously guys,for all people from north america the new time zone to say the least is inconvinient.
Like what im gonna have olympiad at 2 pm? forget about Rb farm,castle sieges,ch sieges etc...
i don't think that a vote on a forum reflects the players needs,cause a lot of people don't even follow it.
So what should I do now,wasted all this money on the game,and get screwed by the administration.
Am I forced to leave the game? Or I need a trasfer to -2 server,which is also not as great,
but something,so its seems like a cash grab for server trasfers for all living at eastern time zone...
ppl use brain,how you will split ppl from one server to vote and from another when from one master account you may crate chars in all 6 servers... Maybe I have main (best lvl char) in Magmeld but you not may know did I have chars in all other servers. If we have mail who may use just in one server ok but now is not possible to split ID from this 3 servers and ppl from another servers. I personal think the ppl form servers who are not involve not even care what we vote or what we talk here in this thread.

I say in 2nt day after vote start the not see point why ppl vote for -5 option, if they use that votes smarter will get more powerful.
Sorry that you do not like this post Draeke. However, my point is that NcSoft should give the people that voted the GMT-2 or GMT-5 free transfers. I am happy for you guys that got GMT+1

Why would I not like your post when I fully agree on the free transfers part ? posted that myself earlier this week, see below link :)

if you want to play you can play with this gmt also
events in the afternoon are better than midnight for euro
I just hope you guys wont open transfer for zaken it wont be fair for the ppl that started from 0... as for Freya being gmt +1 well it sucks so the only NA server is Chronos which will be full in no time so many ppl wont have options for NA server

long tie ago , in 2011/12 we start in Shilen/Magmeld/Bartz because was told the all old servers get merge in Chronos/Naia and this 3 new servers will be start from 0 with GoD... and then in ~10 months from start ding... transfers was open (even free) and all "big boys" who have time from 2004 to 2012 to collect money/items lvl come in new servers and claim victory vs ppl who just started game... History will replay someone like that or not...
The Time Zone for Freya will be GMT+1.

Mullmar are crying.
NA/SA Players will be able to transfer into Chornos/Zaken as free?

RaveSGZ, I'll make your words mine.

Juji/Case,

After a lot of years playing in Magmeld (a GMT-2 server, That's the reason we chose Magmeld), people who are not interested to play in GMT + 1 server will be able to transfer for free to Chronos at least?

Thanks
I play on Bartz and I see more people beeing happy than people beeing pis sed... and usually the people that are pis sed off the most , are heard the most...

You're not wrong, but it is not the same scenario this time.
During those free transfer, it was max lv. 85 and lol S84 weapons that was top.
Shortly after GoD launch those became worse (still ok, but worse) than apoc/twilight.
So the only benefit those people really had was being lv. 85 while we started on lv. 1.
The only thing that happened during those merges were a big influx of old epic jewelry, but that is not that big of a deal

Also, back in those days you could actually farm adena & items without difficulty, on Zaken that is not the reality, they've been stuck with this low droprate since day one.
It just wouldnt work merging those two very different kind of ecomomies.




NCWest should know all this, so most logical thing would be to keep zaken closed for transfer for atleast one more year, if not theyre shooting themselves in the foot :D
You should change the name of the server to FREUROPEAN ... because valued only the European players! Will be 3 servers with 2 time zones alike. I've never seen a decision so STUPID in my life. A Brazilian, for example, that he has fun with his family on Sunday will be able to participate in a siege the 4:00 pm?
This vote should not be placed any time that already exists! It wasn't fair and square this time and you have given preference to European players. As received by it?
Totally disappointed!!
Europeans who have played in magmeld or even in bartz has been sacrificing for so long I think its selfish for some people not to think about this Euro people plays at 12 midnight for sieges till 2am same as coc and oly which starts at 12 midnight and same thing as well euro people has jobs and stuff they need to attend to the next day. So some people is saying is that its fine for Euro people to do the sacrifice but they can't? I think that's selfish the servers has been BR and NA time friendly for so long that I think this time it would be fair that Euro gets a chance :) just my 2cents

Atleast you are at home it means u are free even if u wake up early you can fight for 1hour / half hour per day and u can sleep at 12 midnight or 2 am longer... we are working at 2pm tell me how we can participe coc/oly fights?

Same as we play last 4+ years. You join and pray to get some of 3 other from your clan who sty up to 3am instead 50+ others from na/sa clans who feed each other because they all play in same time and all may help each other. Or in CS when you need to focus in PVP in 3am and know the after cs end in 5am you have to go to sleep and up after 2h because from 7am you need to prepare and go to work...

You may answer me also, what is more good for server events, to be in day time (when is sun still up) or to be after midnight in 1-5am?
Everyone wants to take advantage for himself, but the disregard of GMs is very large with the players of the servers who have chosen to play in gmt 0 / -2 / -5, the option GMT +1 should not have entered the voting but as entered ( at the request of "someone" ) if we consider the total that not voted in GMT +1we notice that there's something wrong with NCWest because a total of 54.41% not chosen this option, but without any explanation are enforcing a server GMT + 1 (the Naia already have this GMT) just as there the Server Chronos with GMT-2. The correct would be a GMT -1 or -3 to have options of choice. I would like the GM juji that an explanation because we discuss in the forum and we dont have response from the GM because the GMT + 1 was chosen.

Dude we all have to work, idk problably u born in a mountain of $$$$ and don't even to know what is it thats why u have a "sun up" to sit behind a closed window and play a game.

Staff should think about it, the best GMT was -1 both sides should be happy, europeans can sleep bf4 11pm and NA/SA will play atleast 1hour per day at coc/oly.

GMT -1 COC/OLY

Europeans: 9pm (when u momma call u to dinner)
NA/SA : 5pm (when we leave our jobs)
Anyway, i'm so tired to keep talking for noone, all i've to know is a little word from "NCSoft".. yes or no.. thats all some players from NA/SA want to hear if they will be able to free transfer to Chronos or NC want some "money transfer".

Simple, we got scammed from BusterCasey. He said poll for time with 2 rounds but finish after one. When you see the result of poll, easy know the gamers want GMT- (386+156=542) more than GMT+(32+481=514) why did they chose GMT+1?

So you can't play between 11pm till 12? You are free at this time and can play atleast for 1hour.
For NA/SA if coc/oly start at 2 pm we can't play.. dude come on so obviouss!

BTW it's 4am and you still up on forum's, now i'm sure u dont have to work.... enjoin your new empty europe server, in some months cry for a naia merge or keep feeding NC with transfer to a NA server!

GM still does not provide an answer to whether will remain GMT +1 and stop wasting my time in this game.

Welcome in 21 century, era of mobile internet and phones. I was on in forumr even when I was 1300 km from home and game 3 months.
I live in Europe, GM can check out my country, but I am calling for common sense, we will get it online on the new server 250 active players, if nothing has changed.
Yet not too late, to change the timezone Freya on the GMT -1 I'm ready to play at the Olympiad in 11-12 hours night, but I want to play on a server with online >1000.

Sadly but for 1000+ real persons w/o alts/bots who log every day will need to merge all 5 NCWest servers in one. L2 lose players in global, even Korea lose ppl there. If you ask me problem is NCSoft and how they devs look game in future. There is no new L2 players in that % what need to be. More ppl leave game instead new who just start to play... yes, sad but true... if one person per day log off and delete game did 1 new in 7 days download game and create account...
Staroto, I have already talked with you about the issue for GMT-3 or -2 players that will occur once GMT+1 server happens.

Things will simply happens earlier. You, from EU, will love it cause you will finally be able to go to sleep earlier instead of doing Coc or oly until 2am. However, for me and some other players in GMT-3 or -2, those 2 events (which you tried to make it clear to me that is just a part of the game and I still think it is a major part) will be unnacessable because I will be at work. I will not have the possibility to be awake until 2 am like your current state. NCsoft will simply close the door to CoC and Oly for those players, which I will exemplify as Brazilians, that work at regular working hours.

What is done is done, and I am sure i am a minority here... I even talked with other Brazilians in game and they said that they will feel little difference. But, as a matter of fact, they normally do not do regular work hours or do not work at all.

Once again, server is going to be GMT+1 and we cant do anything about it. But as you are cheering cause u can go to bed earlier, i am sad that NCsoft made it impossible for me to do CoC and Oly.

All I can say is that you are not a minority here. The minority is the one who wants a +1GMT server time. NCSoft took the safest route to create a new EU server by creating the illussion of a democratic choise with a poll biased in any way possible.

Its a shame my clan and I won't be able to do CoC anymore. Only student and unemployed will...
Everyone wants to take advantage for himself, but the disregard of GMs is very large with the players of the servers who have chosen to play in gmt 0 / -2 / -5, the option GMT +1 should not have entered the voting but as entered ( at the request of "someone" ) if we consider the total that not voted in GMT +1we notice that there's something wrong with NCWest because a total of 54.41% not chosen this option, but without any explanation are enforcing a server GMT + 1 (the Naia already have this GMT) just as there the Server Chronos with GMT-2. The correct would be a GMT -1 or -3 to have options of choice. I would like the GM juji that an explanation because we discuss in the forum and we dont have response from the GM because the GMT + 1 was chosen.

It is exactly this question that gm does not answer: why don't they put the vote on schedules that don't exist on other servers, such as gmt -1 or -3 for example? What Russian or which clan they favored? An investigation was made in the vote for the gmt +1 how many voted using the same ip address? Why don't you answer the questions that are being made by me and other players?:confused:

I fully agree bro
so much speculations.. let me add another just for the funz, most if not all Euro players on Magmeld/Shilien/Bartz don't like Naia so if the server would have been made same GMT as Chronos it meant those players would quit NCWest and move to EU L2 instead meaning huge loss of revenue for NCWest whereas NA/SA players do not have such alternative and are stuck with NCWest regardless of what they do ;)

btw Buster should just remove all posts about the timezones here as it's derailing the topic and it will not change the facts..

bump, Buster so many off topic posts here that have nothing to do with the actual merger making it hard for people to give feedback / find information..

Freya will be GMT+1 so stop beating the dead horse folks and prepare on what to do next.

BusterCasey,

when will open transfer to Zaken? :confused::rolleyes:
What i find interesting is that 90% of the QQQQ posts about GTM are account made this and last week.
Coinsidence or not ? i think its proly the same person that make the 91 vote's food for thought.:D
After returning from work I get a bad news that the new server would gmt + 1 . In my opinion it was to have chosen a gmt between the schedules already existed of Shilen , Barts and Magmeld . I urge the administrades reconsider that choice. Thank you.

You've played Shilen for quite some time, so I guess that gmt+1 shouldn't be a problem, now does it?
Hello
I sincerely and many other players do not understand the choice of the new schedule freya server, since none of the servers that go join the schedule has gmt + 1.
If you added up the votes of schedules gmt 0, gmt gmt-2 and-5 are the majority and chose previous schedule the gmt +1 therefore we not first understand why the gmt +1 have been put to a vote and especially not understand why won.
Most players these 3 servers in question are South Americans and this schedule affect all these players since it is the business of the South American schedule.
I sincerely hope you reconsider this schedule or many players will be forced to stop playing.
Thank you.

That horse is very dead so you can stop beating it ;)

btw stop being delusional by claiming NA/SA represents the majority of the player base of those servers as it's very easy for NC Staff to see the Country of Origin of every single player that's logged in (IP & Billing Tracking etc.) which fact had most likely the highest influence as to with which of the 2 options to run with.

Realistically a vote was dumb, they probably could have used math to figure out an optimal time zone (most likely an average of the 3 existing zones) and set that. However its quite tricky because who wknows which would generate more ragers on the forums.

Draecke - do u have any idea what event schedule were on? ie; which korean event lines up next. I struggle to search them properly.
Update:


Castle Sieges will begin on April 27, 2016.
My Teleport locations will be transferred.

I'm still checking on the question about the Dimensional Castles.

Anything on that?
BusterCasey,

when will open transfer to Zaken? :confused::rolleyes:

They already said they don't plan on opening transfers from/to Zaken.
One more thing I wanna ask is that when the new server is open is every raid in the server alive including dragons,field raids etc?
i myself already stopped playing, this has more future not.
Looking for more informations about Server Down Time tomorrow.
Looking for more informations about Server Down Time tomorrow.

They will create Thread about server maintenance, 10-12 hours later starting from the time of this reply. That will be around 2:00 AM GMT +3. That's the usual time they do it.
Looking for more informations about Server Down Time tomorrow.

As the others mentioned, I"ll be getting the maintenance notice up shortly. Bear in mind this maintenance will have different times due to the server merge.

Also, I have an update about Dimensional Castles. Those clans who will be affected should have already been contacted by support, but if not please shoot me a PM.

The Dimensional Castle Siege owners for Shilen, Magmeld, and Bartz will be reset during the merge. We will be upgrading those clans' Dimensional Energy item and sending it to them a week before the first dimensional castle siege for the Freya server.

Yes, that's correct.
well I not like this :( we missing battle marks, if you get 10 mach before merge you get reset and now no option to make new 10... they say for reset but never till merge say the oly will not start next week after merge. If no oly why then is COC on, why not delay COC also will may.

Because Ceremony of Chaos is not olympiad :D, and since there is event 0 Adena Augment Removal, they let us make Spirit Stones and you also can make your battle marks there.

Are Dimensional Raids OFF too?
One question, pls send at forum/web concreted info about start at Freya all normal function like clan hal war, dimensional raid etc. Its discrimination all players and clan from Freya. Why you block Freya to dimensional server? And other, why you reset castles at dimensional server from clan from Freya? Its the same clan's who owned this castles from older servers. Change only server from it's clan, no more, clan its the same.
Are Dimensional Raids OFF too?

Its discrimination...

dimensional it's inner server... but why Freya its blocked?
Maybe its all off? All come to euro inova to Core ;) at this server all working normal

They work, just before their auction day you couldn't check them for the next item, because there was no pervious one.Now they are back to normal.

How you know this? Is Monday, Aden auction need to "end" in 5h and there is still no option to see what is in sell or to offer your bid.
We need to know basic info for all clans in server, pls fix the clan community list and give us option to search all clans what lvl they are, who is leader, and how much chars have inside.
This is same from forever so why you change now?
I not talk just for clan with number after merge, but all.
Hey all,

I'm working with Juji to try to get you all some answers. Sorry for the delay while I'm getting all caught up.

Thanks for your patience!
Hi all, I have a few answers for you (and again, sorry for the delay!):

Hey ShakaZuluPP, there is an option to replace Marks of Battle at the Mysterious Butler NPC.

Are Dimensional Raids OFF too?

Yes, dimensional raids are currently off until approximately 4/30, since the first scheduled siege on Freya is on 5/1. Note: It's not meant to be discrimination but this schedule is hard coded into the server itself and automatically scheduled.

One question, pls send at forum/web concreted info about start at Freya all normal function like clan hal war, dimensional raid etc.

You can actually find the full Freya schedule in the login notice on that server. It has all the starting dates for PvP stuff. :)

We double checked the community board and are able to see clan names, clan levels, clan leaders, etc., although we are still seeing the server numbers of clans. Is that what you meant or are you not seeing any clan names either?

Please let us know if you have any more questions!

Thank you,

As said in the guide, we'll have a separate article on Clan Halls coming out soon.

Where it's this article?
Where it's this article?

Hi, Kocica, this was actually answered inside the post from BusterCasey (it was merged together).



Clan Halls, Castles,


All Castles, Clan Halls, and Fortresses will be reset.
Clans who own auctionable, contestable, or provisional clan halls will be compensated with Clan Fame and Adena. This will be available after the servers come back up from maintenance.
For auctionable Clan Halls, the winning bid amount will be sent to the Clan Warehouse.
Clans will be compensated for Clan Hall rent based on the amount initially paid and time remaining on the rent before the merge.
Clan Fame will be provided to the Clan that owns any contestable Castles or Clan Halls on the day of the server merge.
Clan Hall Auctions will not stop, however only auctions won before the announcement will be given compensation.
Castle Sieges will begin on April 27, 2016.
My Teleport locations will be transferred.
Hi, Kocica, this was actually answered inside the post from BusterCasey (it was merged together).

Sorry but you think the I not know for marks change option... 10 oly mach may be done in less of 1h, one day per monts, that is 1h per noble char and depend how much you win you may get 870-1200 marks... tell me how much time you will need to get 1000 marks from COC? Is ***en 4 per 15 min, 16/1h, 64/day, 256/week, so to get 1000+ marks you need to not miss even one COC ALL MONTH !!! pls dont insult us with compare coc cs oly for battle marks...

Yes you may see clans there BUT NOT ALL, just clans who retake name if they get same clan name in another server. Look ex. "max" you may see old clan name 44calliber18 but no new iMAX. For clans who not change name or not rewrite same as before is not possible to search them! Try look my personal alt clan, lv 8, 8 members, leader Plavusha, name Crusad3rs you may see him in clan entry list but not in clan community list. That is problem what I talk here...
