New World Dev Tracker

Hello @Oldy I think you might be referring to the change from 120 to 60 days cooldown. It doesn’t exactly relate like that to merging worlds. You can check this link for more information on that Planned List of Worlds Scheduled for Merge - Downtime. Sadly nothing is menti...

From what I understand, Baltica should still be merging in with Betelguese.

From what I understand, if it’s not on the list, it shouldn’t be merged. I’ll double-check with the team but just to set expectations, I may not hear back about this in time since it’s the weekend.

Hey all! We’ve released an updated statement here: [Notice] Server Merge: US-East, US-West, Australia, Central Europe - #5 by Kay

In the meantime, to help alleviate some of the faction imbalance as well as address players who continue to be in a bad state with their faction reset timer, we intend to do a one-time reset of the faction change cooldown for everyone. We are hopeful the reset will allow sets with lower...

Heya! We released a statement in regards to our decision on the server merge. In summary, this is the first step in a multi-step process and we aim to reassess these worlds in early 2022.

Thanks! I’ve noted this down and have reported it to the team.

I hear you and understand that the merge may not be the ideal partner you were looking for.

Hello everyone,

We announced some world merges this week and didn’t do a great job explaining the reasoning, specifically for the merges that seem less than ideal.

When planning for world merges, our team typically looks for close to equal faction representation and a peak population above 1000, among other indicators of world health post-merge. That’s not entirely the case with some of the upcoming merges due to an issue I will explain below. I want to be clear that for these worlds, this is the first step in a multi-merge process. The working plan is to reassess and address all struggling servers in early 2022.

Unfortunately, we cannot merge every world as we would like in the near team due to a housing persistence concern that would be tripped if we moved forward with the all-to-one plan right now in some sets. We have discovered that when multiple housing plots are stacked from merging or transfers, we reach an unsafe level of persistent data which can cause...

Salutations Aventuriers,

Nous allons procéder à la fusion des mondes au sein des régions US-Est, US-Ouest, Australie et Europe Centrale. Vous pouvez cliquer sur le menu déroulant correspondant à votre région pour obtenir plus d’informations sur ces fusions.

Note : si votre monde n’est pas dans la liste, c’est que vous n’êtes pour le moment pas prévu pour une fusion de serveurs à l’heure actuelle.

The downtime to prepare the EU Central worlds for merging is now complete.

Please take a moment to review the merger plan for the region you play in as shown above for more information on merger timing and planning.

As always, thank you for your patience and understanding!

Don’t forget that you can check out our FAQ for more information on server merges!

Heyo!

This post is the correct post. We were notified of the change this morning and had to hustle to rewrite the information that we pushed out this afternoon.

I will update that first post with a link to the correct information now.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

really, problem mitigated - but we definitely see the value, and are discussing it as well as potential timing. If it does happen, it will be soon after the merge.

All worlds in US East, US West, and Australia are now back online.

Reminder: EU Central will be undergoing similar maintenance at 2021-12-18T00:00:00Z. We will be here to keep you updated on its progress as well.

Thank you for your patience!

good call out! Not Valhalla, that one is not getting merged.

Hi Morrow, Locuta and Xibalba folks,

I understand the concern here - we typically look for close to equal faction represetation post-merge as part of our process. That’s not the case with the upcoming merge due to an issue I will explain below, and also this merge is not the last that we are planning for the Arkadia Eta world set. This is the first step in a multi-merge process.

The working plan is to merge all struggling servers in the Arkadia Eta set into Morrow in early 2022. Unfortunately, we cannot do this in the super near team due to a persistence bug that would be tripped if we moved forward with the all-to-one plan right now. The merge we are moving forward with is the safest option for your worlds right now.

I hear you on the faction reset, and that is something being considered for sure. Stay tuned. If it’s possible, more info will be ready next week, likely soon after the merge.

Kay

EDIT: Valhalla will not be merged into Morrow, other w...

Worlds in US East, US West, and Australia are slowly starting to come back online after their downtime today.

We will update this thread when the preparation downtime is fully complete.

Stay tuned!

Hey everyone,

We actually have a Megathread for bugs and issues for this update going right now.

I’m going to close this thread and move it over to the bugs section so the team can more easily find it. If you have anything new to add to the megathread, please do add it!

Thank you for helping us make New World awesome for everyone!
