Server 'Evolution' Options Detailed

The time has come for ArcheAge to consolidate its playerbase on high-population servers. To that end, players are being given a pair of choices on how their characters (if affected) can accomplish this.

Servers undergoing "evolution" are:

North America

• Naima and Enla will be merged to form Kraken.
• Inoch and Calleil will be merged to form Hanure.
• Ezi and Lucius will be merged to form Nazar.

Europe

• Aier and Orchidna will be merged to form Anthalon.
• Melisara and Nebe will be merged to form Sirothe.
• Nui and Janudar will be merged to form Leviathan.

From the ArcheAge team:

Just to clarify for you, players who are interested in a transfer will be able to transfer to any of our current high-population servers that are not affected by the evolution (Such as Ollo, Kyrios, Aranzeb, Shatigon, Kyprosa, etc.) They will not be able to transfer their character to another evolution server. ~Seraphina "Celestrata" Brennan

If players choose to, they simply leave their existing characters in their current location and wait until servers are combined at Trion's discretion.

Should players have a preferred 'evolution' server to which they'd rather transfer, they can go through a process to choose which server, though there are a number of conditions that must be met prior to any transfer going through:

If you do not want to participate in a merge of servers, you will be able to perform a one-time, free transfer of your characters to one of the servers on your region that is not affected by the Evolution. In order to transfer, you will have to fulfill certain requirements before making the move (as noted below). You will also have to sign up for a transfer on the official website between August 25 and September 4, 2015.

Important: Please be aware that we may shut off transfers to a specific server if it receives too many transfer requests. Transfers are on a first come, first serve basis. (Example: If too many players elect to transfer to Ollo, we may discontinue transfers to Ollo, but still allow transfers to Kyrios, Tahyang, etc.)

In order to qualify for a free transfer, you must fulfill all of the below requirements:

• Your character must be on a server affected by the Evolution.
• Your character cannot be online.
• You may not possess over 200,000 gold.
• You may not be a member of a guild or a family.
• You cannot have any marketplace mail or in-game mail.
• You may not have any items listed on the Auction House.
• You cannot own any land.
• You cannot have a dry dock under construction.
• Your character cannot be queued for deletion.
• You must have all summonable vehicles and items fully repaired.
• Your character must be level 15 or above.
• You can only transfer everything in your inventory, warehouse, and equipped to your character. If you have more items that cannot fit in this amount of space, we recommend sending those items to your alternate characters and then transferring them to the same server. Players with storage chests will have to unpack their chests if they wish to transfer. We know this is a major pain point for everyone involved, but we were unfortunately unable to find a workable solution to this issue within the architecture of the game.
• You cannot transfer while you own any items specific to the server.
