Andy and Jinn, our resident Gravity engineers, just treated me and my team to Iced Tea while we met about the mechanics of the Server Merge. It seems like we will be going to hit the original merge date of April 25. You guys can expect the initial mechanics to be posted on the website by Monday or Tuesday next week. I’d like to thank everyone who participated in the discussions. You really helped a lot when we were duking it out with the Koreans via MSN or during our yosi break meetings. Here’s the final update:
CHARACTER SLOTS
We’ve getting 9. Yeah you read that right… 9, not 5 or 7. That means you can have a maximum of 5 characters in Chaos and 4 characters in Loki. Please take note that your characters in Odin-Fenrir, and Sarah-Iris-Lydia must not exceed 9 as well. Let me clarify that further. Your account should look like this if you want to have just one account after the merge:
CHAOS – 3
LOKI – 5
(Less than 9)
ODIN – 4
FENRIR – 5
(Less than 9)
LYDIA – 3
IRIS – 3
SARAH – 3
(9)
If you breach the 9 rule in any of the server groups listed above, your account will be split.
KAFRA STORAGE
Sad to say, Korea really is the one and only country with 600 maximum Kafra Storage. This means we will be having a limit of 300. Please make sure your Kafra Storage for MERGING SERVER GROUPS do not exceed the said amount or else your account will be split.
NAME CHANGE
A Gravity Engineer specializing in account and character servers will be flying in next week to determine the feasibility of the name change. We want it to be built-in the character selection screen. We will post an official update on this by the end of next week. I just also confirmed with Gravity that the color coding is not technically feasible.
Okay guys, one more thing. A segment of the Server Merge site is the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). I’d like to ask your help in building this one. Please leave a comment on a question you’d want included in the FAQ and I’ll try to include it in the final document. By the way, I’d like to plug our latest in-game event, the THANATOS TOWER CHALLENGE! Please click HERE for the event mechanics.

Wauks, what is the percentage chance of the server merge being successful, and what is the percentage chance of the server merge being unsuccessful. For all I know, if not done properly, this could bug-up the databases of the commercial servers and could lead to major disaster.

@ sir wauks
just wanna know, what will happen to the godly seal quest?
i mean once per character lng pwede gawin ung mga seal right?
(sleipnir,megingjard,brisingamen,mjolnir) when server merge comes
reset din po ba? i mean pag ang Loki+Chaos naging Baldur na, ung mga characters po ba namin na tapos na sa mga seal na un eh pwede na gumawa ulit ng mga godly seal? Reset?

How about if I have 5 Characters in Lydia and also 5 in chaos at the time of the merge? What could possibly happen?

Dear Sir. Wauks,
I would like to recommend the Kafra Pin to change or persue its new password. Regarding of the items inside it. My playing server is at Sarah. But it is good thing that you reset the kafra password cause of there are a merging servers and this for example:
my kafra pin in Iris is: 000523
my kafra pin in lydia is: 001523
and lastly my sarah: 1111
In this recommendation i hope you can reset the kafra password because several people are complaining because of Kafra Password Retreaval and there e-mail so they can’t delete one of there characters….(Regarding your staff thank you for your support in us and I hope you all can still follow your unending happiness with us may you be bless with god and still ROCK ON)/tnx

On name change, why is it not technically feasible?T_T
What do you mean by name change exactly? May naka prefix na name or edit name? And by editing, will you allow ascii characters?>.…
