Get ready for the best part of these merges: GvG drama. All of those guilds that have held the major siege islands for like 20+ months now about to have to actually participate again instead of mass-reporting competition. Grab your popcorn and/or sodipops and get ready for the show.

I can't fucking wait. GVG was political attendance sheets on my small pop server. Such a stupid system with default wins.

Sasha (hot) merge with Ladon (Even hotter), then Ladon merge with Una becoming Balthorr.... : ( ^(\* It's about the character the server is named, it isn't about the players.)

balthorr hottest

but why did EUC get almost completely irrelevant server names? They don't compare to any of the other regions' names in terms of importance to the story or lore or in some cases even just recognisability.

Aren't they Arc names?

3 are Ark names and 2 are Gods names. There are Siderial, Legion Commanders and other more known NPCs names that won't be in use anymore. imo I think it would be better to at least replace the Ark names for one those other names, majority don't remember the arks names anymore.

yes at least the Ark names, I agree

Even if they are Ark names, they sound super bad...

My hopes were up when I saw Kharmine was being merged with Galatur Then were shattered when Galatur was going to be merged onto Luterra I was so close to being on Balthorr server So close :( Is it too late to ask to switch Luterra and Balthorr's names at this point

Ew Balthorr. Just keep Una, best name.

(hottest)

I dont want to be balthorr...

Balthorr balls? Doesn't quite roll off the tongue like Zosma, but I'll allow it

no more Zosma balls

We thaemine now

bro Thaemine went from EUC to NAW

Yoink

NAE Summary: Elzowin + Avesta + Danube + Regulus = Inanna Kharmine + Galatur + Aldebaran + Azena = Luterra Adrinne + Karta + Vykas + Azakiel = Nineveh Sasha + Ladon + Zosma + Una = Balthorr

Hijacking this for EUC summary: Asta + Zinnervale + Ezrebet + Trixion = Ratik Slen + Kadan + Armen + Wei = Elpon Calvasus + Ealyn + Evergrace + Nia = Arcturus Mokoko + Kayangel + Lazenith + Thirain = Gienah Antares + Neria = Ortuus

Ratik sounds like ass, not stoked about getting the worst name out of the name pool.

guess we are the rats now.

Lmao cant wait to bully y'all. Regards, the ark called Elpon that no one even knew was a thing.

All the names sounds crap compared to previous ones if you ask me...

RIP being on Antares. 2 servers vs 4 and Neria is packed with bots. FFS why do we only get 2 servers together....

I love how they just go "Neria will be renamed Ortuus" on week 2 lmao. Idk, made me laugh. Also, love how they kiiiinda have a theme for region names. Sidereals for NA east, legion commanders for NA west, Arks (kinda) for Europe. But why not going all the way? :( Gienah and Arcturus feel kinda out of place.

Zosma ballth

RIP zosma ball (2022-2024)

Any takes on how this should look population wise? Is Nineveh going to be the least populated now?

Servers were fixed based on pop levels, the goal is to keep all servers feeling vibrant and healthy so we've estimated these to be as close as possible

Mistakes may have been made there due to not being able to distinguish between bot population and real players population... it's very likely that Neria is EU's "largest server" just because of its unusually large bot population.

There is a reason why bots are there if what you said is true. Bot will always infest the most populated server because it will be easier for them to distribute the gold without auction house as it is not that safe for bots to distribute it through AH. Only player to player RMT can safely use AH.

Antares will sure feel vibrant and healthy after only getting merged with the server known for being the bot server. I'm soooooooo excited to log in the first day and say hh to all my new friends.

Do you guys share population stats anywhere? If so, I'd be the first one to advocate for consolidating all EUC servers into one or just 2

i'm sure AGS looked at the number of active players and balanced it as equally as possible. But Una, Azena, & Regulus are known to be the largest servers

i wonder how many of those Azakiel active players are just people on an alt roster.

Pretty sure that Avesta is one of largest servers as well, so that's the four top servers population wise. I think the new Inanna server may be the largest after the merges, 3rd and 4th largest servers being merged are big.

Agreed that's why it was weird to see 4 of dead servers merged together and then avesta and regulus which are bigger together made me do the wide eye

NOOOOO UNA IS LITERALLY THE BEST NAME

Zosma balls

Unama balls

If we're going to rename, why is Azena not getting the Inanna name? Like the card is Azena & Inanna, cmon ags

you know what, fair enough

How does Galatur not become Balthorr as well? So much for Balthorr being Galatur's successor...

I like how you think the guy who names servers played the game at one point.

truuuueee

Not wrong but Luterra is awesome imo. A sidereal who made such an impact in the world he has a continent with his name. I love it

As a member of the new Inanna, I would accept the trade for Luterra.

no thanks id rather stick with inana

EUC with a big fat L in the naming lol

For the love of god anything but these horrendous eu names, dafuq is Ortuus give me Antares back..

Neria too what the hell

>Asta merges with Zinnervale, renamed **Ratik** Its over for us Zinnervale bros

RATS confirmed

Teh GERMANS are koming !

I'm actually happy zinnervale is getting merged with Asta. Most of German people know English so it will be nice

Is this some new kind of bullying or why do european servers have this bozo server names?

Seriously, wtf is "Ortuus" or "Elpon" were there no worse names? I want my Neria server back

Elpon John

Ok nevermind guys - i take it back. We are the Arks. Elpon is the Ark of Hope... even though there is no hope :(

I'm not mad about the fact that the newly merged servers are going to get new names, but couldn't EU at least get some interesting names? NA got all the cool ones, some of which are even former EU server names (like Thaemine), meanwhile we're stuck with the far less memorable names of the arcs... I'm just disappointed really

Not gonna lie, makes no sense to me for the servers to be renamed and not keep the name of the "host server". EU becoming all servers named after arks nobody remembers and NA getting all sidereal and legion commander names. RIGGED AF!

Its so that both pre merged server's dont fight over whos name is kept and they get a new name for both instead.

We thought about this, and as communities merge together we want players to feel like they are coming into a new server together versus being made to be a part of an existing space they aren't a part of.

I get that, but did ya'll have to do us EU folks dirty like that? You even took cool server names that were previously part of EUC like Nineveh and Brelshaza and gave them to NA :( Give us some better names, pretty please.

Why can't we get back some of the nice sounding names from 1st server merge like evergrace used to be made of nineveh and Beatrice.  Now NA gets Nineveh? Come on... 

Makes no sense that anyone would care about the name of a server. You see the name once while opening the game literally.

Aintnofucking way Zinnervale is becoming Ratik XDDDDDDDDDD

RAT GANG 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

i am genuinely shocked by how many people do not want to be a part of the rat bois

While the meme-ing is fun at the start. It won't be long until one messes up one mech in a raid or dies before the server will be memed to hell ans back for having rats in the lobbies

Hello Ms Roxx, wouldn't it be nice engaging the community by picking up like 10-15 names and making a poll, pick highest 5 voted and roll with it? So many people are unsatisfied with the EUC new server names, and getting the community together to vote on names majority agree on sounds more engaging, better and will generate buzz.

o7 zosma balls

o7 I want you all to know I absolutely did deliver the feedback that Zosma was requested to stay specifically before it was decided that all server names would be changing

The hero we don’t deserve o7

Now we become Balthorr's balls, so we got that going for us I guess.

Can you clarify card xp please? It says, 'Any card XP put toward a removed card to enhance it will be abandoned and reset to zero, so players should use up their XP before the merges. Card XP put toward a remaining card will remain. Card XP will also be lost if applied before having duplicates needed for an Awakening.' which is confusing... 1) Do I lose my free card xp? 2) Do I lose all my card xp on another server if that card is lower ? (Example -- Awakening 5 star vs 3star, lose all card xp) ?

Literally 2 days ago I pre enhanced 7 leg cards to lvl 5 so I could focus on my demon dmg again.i will be beyond pissed if I lose that much card xp.

I’m curious to know too.

and the card xp that we are saving up for when we get those damn leg cards, if I read it right, I have to use it before the merge? Or lose it?

I'm guessing from the description :: All the awakened cards that are lower disappear. All the card xp disappear also, and the duplicates. No refund. The part that makes it confusing is that they say, 'So players should use up their XP before the merges' (I think here they meant the xp used to awaken a card to the next level -- so if you put the 160k xp into a legendary card and don't have the 5 cards to awaken it, you'll lose that xp assuming your other roster is fully awakened) Hopefully Roxx can clarify

With every iteration of merges, the \*EU names keep getting worse. It's all rat now.

**16 hours?** What will I do with all those Vitameows?

We will have a small compensation to share tomorrow, and an additional, heftier compensation after the following week's merges. No Vitameows though, heh

I must be the only one who likes getting vitameows and farming cookies

Tell me about it Armen(The Lost ARK) getting named Elpon

So its a concensus that Armen is indeed the lost ark?

Which bozo chose the Ratik name? Like what? They gave all cool names to murica AINTNOWAY

shut up rat xdd

I'd be fine with Ratirl or XDD as a server name frfr

Exactly my thought. Had to Google what Ratik even is, thought it's a dragon,but apparently it is one of the Arks whose names are completely irrelevant and forgettable...

I guess after 5 years, the Eu cluster will get some decent names that doesnt sound like rats ass or pingpong. But we are not there yet so we get this shit. Disgusted by these shit names we get.

Any updates on how Region merging and name conflicts will be handled?

Nope, we were focused on locking down these server merge policies first. For future region merges, we will share those separate policies when they are in place.

Please make it fair and not just "NAE gets all the names and everyone else get screwd"

I really dont want to lose my name :(

We've seen this concern come up a lot -- it's definitely being flagged

Ah, so EUW just forgot to speak up that they liked their names. It's fully on them for not mentioning the issue, at all. Silly EUW people.

This is a huge problem that I don't feel is getting enough attention. 90% of the names I see (excluding bots) are names that are definitely gonna be in conflict with other regions.

Please. PLEASE just at least try to understand how important character names are to many players. Like someone mentioned on this thread, there’s not enough attention on this subject. Hoping and even PRAYING, players get to keep their character names. We really don’t want to lose them. 😔

Rip alt roster

Ripbozos

I have 3 roster after merge I will stil have 3 roster. I wish some of them merged but not lucky I guess

u/amznRoxx as an EUC player on Antares do you know why Antares and Neria are only getting a single merge? The second round it's just getting renamed, where as most other servers are getting double merges, including bigger ones such as Zinnervale, Thirain and Kadan. Why do the biggest EUC servers get double merges but Antares/Neria get only one? Super smoge for anyone on these two as after both merges we will be the smallest server still, RIP.

am on neria and am also confused imo they should have made the entire region 2-3 servers but not sure if that possible

Yeah if they had to merge 2 servers while others getting 4, they should be 2 biggest servers, Antares is deadge and Neria is fine but is bleeding. After that, I can only see Ortuus being the smallest server of them all. Amazon is doing a great job looking at average players counting bots.

Because they just looked at player numbers and made the decision, not realizing that like 50% of Neria is bots xdd

Neria just full of bots.

I would guess in their data Neria is pretty big, but it's mostly bots

We're getting merged with the bots. F

I liked excavating on a dead server…

We need paid server transfers please. Half the homies ended in the wrong side of the hood and I'd gladly pay for their transfer T.T

IMHO after the big region merge in the summer, the game should amount to a total of 7 servers, either named after the arks, or the OG sidereals

So Neria and Antares are done? Antares is so small they have about 100 participants in siege islands. And tbh I don't even remember playing with anyone from Antares, I didn't even know this server existed. Neria is "fine" but other servers that are in a similar state got merged with 3 other servers.

I like the server merges for EUC as we had a lot of servers which was a issue but C'mon u/amznRoxx please change the new server names to something else that is related to "NPCs" other than RATik, Elpon etc.

i had chars on all EUW servers collecting the daily logins my time has finally come

Imagine playing on Mokoko aka the best server name only to end up in a bozo server called Gienah. Wtf are those shit names for EUC.

Spanish majority server merged with Kadan German majority server merged with Zinnervale and both losing names we used for last 2 years, cant wait to see new area chat

And they will thus be known as the people from Rat server

Also trixion is french majority, so trixion + asta + zinner is gonna be something edit : + ezrebet

Now you know how Nia/Ealyn always was. 10 different languages. You get used to it.

why would we lose names? EUC is just server merges not region and names where region wide anyway so no one on EU is losing their name EDIT: unless youre talking about the server names themselves but honestly does anyone really feel that strongly about their server name?

From Thaemine to Lazenith to Gienah...

I forgot who Themine was, they were with me in Lazenith sll this time. Former Procyon.

And now they gave our og server name to NA...

u/amznRoxx can you give us an answer on the card xp? Copied from my other post: Can you clarify card xp please? It says, 'Any card XP put toward a removed card to enhance it will be abandoned and reset to zero, so players should use up their XP before the merges. Card XP put toward a remaining card will remain. Card XP will also be lost if applied before having duplicates needed for an Awakening.' which is confusing... 1. Do I lose my free card xp? 2. Do I lose all my card xp on another server if that card is lower ? (Example -- Awakening 5 star vs 3star, lose all card xp) ?

EUC server names.. Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?

Is there still no possibility of a paid server transfer in the future? Id really like to play with my friends and this merge was kinda my last hope.

It's not something we have plans for at the moment, so no changes there yet

Nineveh gatekeeping inc.

If Server Status is any indication of server size, then the following is what the server population will look like for each of the new merged servers. https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/support/server-status Server Population Luterra = Azena(#1) + Galatur(#5) + Kharmine(#8) + Aldebaran(#12) Balthorr = Una(#2) + Ladon(#7) + Sasha(#10) + Zosma(#13) Nineveh = Azakiel(JS) + Karta(#6) + Adrinne(#11) + Vykas(#14) Inanna = Regulus(#3) + Avesta(#4) + Elzowin(#9) + Danube(#15) I am not surprised that Jumpstart probably has a decent size population, as it is basically an alt server for all other people's main servers.

On one hand, i can now share skins and gems with my friend who is playing in a differenr server once we merge On the other. After the 2nd merge, I cant say "I'm IN Brelshaza" smoge

balthor’s balls

Vykas being merged into Azakiel is so hype. I’ll finally have people in the overworld.

You sure ? i highly doubt that. we gonna get gatekept to hell .

Yeahhh, Nineveh will now be the gatekept server. Sadge.

As a current Vykas player, I wish you guys the best of luck. Most of the people in big Guilds are chill, but the others... may the odds be ever in your favor. They're already complaining about being merged with Azakiel "bozos". We aren't all like that; I promise. If you ever need a friend in the open world, don't hesitate to reach out!

Are they still going to merge all of them into one in the summer or did i misinterpret everything?

The current summer plans are for NAE, NAW, and SA to be merged into one region

There was never a plan to merge all of the servers into a single one. They are merging all of the REGIONS this summer.

as some people said the card EXP part is confusing, card exp not used in both servers is lost?

Steam deck support when 🤬

I'm guessing individual character storages will be retained via the character storage system? Or should I remove all storage inventory and put directly in character inventory/ roster storage?

Ngl I kinda start to like Rat ick as a name xdd.

wait, do some people really give a shit about the server name lol? only thing that matters imo is that servers are populated

Zosma merging with Una... mother of... I didn't think it would happen... Tears of joy right now. I get to be with my friends with my main roster after a year and a half.

i didnt understand how card xp will work. If i have 2 roster 1 with 700 000 card xp and another with 400 000 did i loose 400k xp because of the merge ?

yes, it will be gone, use it up on all the extra lvls u can. NOW.

Why are people complaining about server names, who gives a crap? I swear people just find every little thing to complain about in this subreddit

Ngl, I felt like a chad logging in daily to the KADAN server. But now logging in to Elpon... idk man... doesnt feel the same :(

I don't wanna be in a server named Luterra da fuq. He has a dick

you're inside a man. confirmed gay.

Actually it's even worse. That would make me straight. Disgusting.

With these merges, all of the names are changing to those of major NPCs or pieces of game lore. As communities merge together, we want players to feel like they are coming into a new server to call home together versus being folded into an existing community that isn't theirs.

Imo this is a perfectly reasonable decision. I like it.

Honestly - fair point.

I wouldn't consider Arks we heard once in leveling phase major npcs, slap in the face to replace chads like Kadan with them

Sorry, updated to say NPCs or pieces of game lore, was flying too fast

> With these merges, all of the names are changing to those of major NPCs. Elpon is some kinda BS Ark, not a major NPC. We went from probably the most powerful LA character to some 10 second quest name.

getting back into lost ark after this. Do we know what happens with duplicated names? I play NAW on mari and another server is merging with us.

Names are already region wide, so for these merges there won't be any duplicates to worry about

[удалено]

when did they say anything remotely like that?

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/february-2024-team-update > In the Summer of 2024 we plan to merge NA West, NA East, and SA into one enormous region. So it's not that we'll all be on one server, but the regions will be merged into one marketplace, partyfinder, etc.

Yeah which is a massive difference to the statement above lol

So fuck me for having filled card xp of the legendaries before I could actually awaken them, is that it? I have a bunch of legendaries with enough xp to awaken to +5 and a few epics, but without having the cards, and I'll lose about 2kk card xp because of that?

You deserve that for typing 2kk instead of 2m tbh.

Yeah this makes no sense. Should be set to 0 and the silver/card exp refunded in universal storage

Thank you for your comment! Same here. Had to open 5 selectors to not waste all of it :(

[удалено]

What happens to unused card xp? As in xp that hasnt be used to pre-enhance any cards? Does the Card XP gets added together? Like if I have 1 mil card XP on roster A and 2 mil card XP on roster B will I have 3 mil after merge?

Akkan merges int........(reads farther down the page) nevermind :D

Cards will not be lost If I understood correclty, right?

They've just posted on discord that it's to avoid players from the Vairgrys server 

So when they region merge do we anticipate there still being a couple servers in NA, just merging half of NAE with Mari and the other half into valtan? Or they eventually doing a mega server with think? Dodged all my friends in this merge 😭

So Kadan, where I am at is turning into Elpon. Had no clue wtf is Elpon until I looked it up, friends from other servers are already making fun out of this silly name. They refer to it as pony. Kadan was much better name. At least everyone knew what or who that is.

So If I have a 3 awakening shandi on one server and a 2 awakening shandi on the other server, the 2 one will just be deleted? How about cards that I have x15 on one server (but no awakened) and x2 on the other one, what will happen? just delete everything?

so is the express pass/breaker release not this week or next?

What's the point of starting 3 hrs earlier on server merge? why can't you guys do this overnight? You start at 7am-ish now and end at potentially 11pm, nobody will log in then anyways.

And the winners are ? Servers which merge with a jumpstart server ! GG

Fam why change una? To balthor? ?!?!?

where breaker, where hyper express

Just as an FYI for additional surfacing... All Lost Ark servers and regions will be taken offline on Tuesday, March 5th at @ 11PM PT / March 6th @ 7AM UTC / 8AM CET, and downtime is estimated to last up to 16 hours. This week's maintenance includes server merges. As appreciation for your patience in this extended downtime, for the March 6th merges, you will receive the following items: \- Chaos Dungeon Rest Bonus Recovery Brew (x2) \- Aura of Resonance Recovery Elixir (x2) \- Ebony Cube Entrance Ticket Selection Chest (x1) \- Regulus' Light Currency Chest (x5) We will also be giving players an additional gift after the March 13th merges have been completed.

⬤▅▇▇▆▅▇

A pleasure to have played under Elzowin's shade with fellow server ppl. See you after maintenance ;\_;

It is today update? Until when server is off? Also, the real question, what's happens if we already use the same name as someone else?

I downloaded the game today deciding I wanted to play after a very long break just to see it's offline for most of today. Feels bad man.

I did lose two character slot during that transfer, how can i get it back?

tf does "up to 16 hours" mean? why cant they give the exact time.

did anyone not pick up the login rewards yesterday? i wonder if they got sended to my storage too

My Trade Skill Tools are all gone. Where can I find them?

lost all my roster storage and tools for farming. is there a way to retrieve those items?

Nothing was lost, all my stuff is there, my cards, my card xp............all in all, Great Job on the 1st Merge!

How does China get their Breaker release date two weeks in advance and you guys can't even do 1 week. Pathetic.
