Trion Worlds is giving ArcheAge players plenty of notice ahead of a server "evolution" coming to both North American and European servers on October 17th to "better balance populations". While the details are somewhat slim at the moment, the plan is to release a comprehensive FAQ sometime next week.
On October 17th, servers will come down for approximately 24-hours after which the combined servers will be live. After the "evolution", Update 5.0 will be deployed, tentatively on October 23rd or 24th.
WHAT The new server names are not set yet, but we know what’s going where!
- NA EVOLUTION 1: Aranzeb, Kyrios, Reckoning, Vengeance, Kraken
- NA EVOLUTION 2: Conviction, Thunderwing
- Nui remains as is.
- EU EVOLUTION 1: Shatigon, Eanna, Prophecy
- EU EVOLUTION 2: Tempest, Retribution
- Ezi will remain as is.
