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]

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

Hades -> Cerberus
Seraph -> Bismarck

- 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."

You have no fucking idea how HAPPY THIS MAKES ME

KAEKO COME HOME

[Ashira]

OMG I CAN MAKE A MULE AGAIN

[Ashira]

How did this get missed in the like umpteen bazillion posts about the mergers?

[Savanah]

Dunno, I found it tucked away in the Information section of the POL site... it was posted at 10am eastern apparently...

[Ashira]

Someone change the title of this thread to the actual important news!

[Nishida]

Pearlsacks and Linkpearls cannot be carried over to the "Destination World," and will disappear during the World Merge.

This will be fun. Brb making mules and linkshells of my servers on said mules so they have to name change ;D

[Savanah]

That's so... wrong. And yet so right somehow.

Drama... so delicious...

[Baelorn]

Why the fuck haven't they closed Phoenix yet?

[Infini]

O shit!! BRB reactivating account!

[Tulun]

Siren is unaffected by this? i'm shocked.

[Buttons]

I feel sorry for the people who will lose their names.

Q_Q my name is taken by a mule on my destination server. either a mule or someone who has quit/is inactive. I'm very VERY upset about this.

It bothers me most that I'm losing my name to someone who quite possibly cancelled content IDs and is no longer a paying customer but simply did not delete their character...

so very sad QQ

Siren is unaffected by this? i'm shocked.

Yay@Odin&Bahamut

[Therin]

I wish some other server would merge into Phoenix.

[NervosaEternal]

Hopefully Kujata brings some players who are worth a shit to my retard server

[WyldFyre]

Hopefully Kujata brings some players who are worth a shit to my retard server

You clearly have never been to Kujata. Congratulations, you're getting butt fucked with concentrated retardation.

[Maurauc]

Oh joy. Merges!
I too feel sorry for people that have to name change. Gonna have to be annoying to get used to the new names.
