Gameforge Begins Runes Of Magic Server Merges Tomorrow

Gameforge is preparing to do a round of server merges for the MMORPG Runes of Magic. The process is slated to take a couple of days -- specifically Tuesday August 10th and Thursday August 12 -- and are expected to take a good part of each day to accomplish. In fact, there's no expected finish time other than "the evening".

The company decided to break the process into two batches by country. US and DE servers will be handled tomorrow with the following changes:

• EU10 (DE) Rath + EU4 (DE) Asteria → EU4 (DE) Aynara
• US1 Aeterna + US8 Phoenix → **US1 (EN) Ayvenas

On Thursday, players in other regions can expect the following merges:

• EU1 (EN) Vidar + EU11 (FR) Nuada + EU12 (ES) Ibergard + EU17 (PL) Nawia + EU23 (EN) Idun → INT1 (EN) Gaia
• EU24 (DE) Zikiel + EU5 (DE) Garda + EU6 (DE) Baldr → EU5 (DE) Kadmos

This means that some European servers for single countries will now all share the international server.

If you're on a server that's impacted by these changes, you'll probably want to read through the FAQ for them. It provides plenty of information on things like how transfers are being handled, what players can expect for auction houses, characters with identical names, house servants, and more.
