iwould imagine a RoM Email would have to be sent out about the plans. This way, those inactive players are warned that this will happen.

oh yea cause that just makes it ok right? "yea we sent you an email now thx for your money from the years you played bb"... like seriously? and 3 months isnt exactly a long time to hold an account for either.

Why would they merge different accounts though?

I have an account on both Arty and Thalia, they can't merge the 2, that wouldn't make sense. Who knows what random people have registered by some luck the same account name, I'm sure they'll be happy to notice their accounts merged with someone elses lol

I have 8 on arty and also 8 on thalia, this needs to be clarified more please.

I truly hope we get to keep Disturbed as our guild name when the merge happens, if not i am quitting the game. We have worked hard for our guild to be where it is at and i ain't changing our guild name. We are the oldest active guild on Reni i hope people in charge will take that into account, if not bye bye
I will get right to creating the guild named Disturbed on Artemis. Thanks for letting us know your plans..

My expectation would be that accounts with the same email address get merged, and the account name on the host server is retained.

If this is the case, I wouldn't mind knowing what happens when a merged account has the same name as an existing account but a different email. Change the merged account name (e.g. "Oldster" to "Oldster_McThalianRefugee") and email the new name to the owner, at a guess?

Actually, you can't use the same email for different regions. You will get an error that your email is already associated with a RoM account.

Yeah I think mine have split, but I can't recall the email for my arty account but it will be one of my many kickin around heh.

I will be entirely annoyed if they do merge on email and I lose some lv 80 planters because it's "convenient"



How you can end up with too many chars on an account REALLY needs to be clarified so speculation on how can stop xD

They way I read it, you'll have more than 8 chars on the account, however, you'll be unable to create more chars on your account without deleting chars to go back below 8 chars on the account.

One of my private accounts has 5 characters on Artemis and 4 characters on Reni. Thusly, when all my characters get thrown into Artemis, that one account will have 9 characters. That's how. Simple.

Well for those who complain that people who haven't logged in a year will only have 3 months to do so before account gets deleted, well they were probably not coming back anyways. I have personally sent e-mails and facebook messages to old guildies or friends to log in plus if Gameforge does the same and they do not get on, it will just mean they made their choice and that will be that.

No Zid. You may not. Enough already.

Yes, guys, prune alts on other servers. I have toons corresponding to name of my main toon and couple major alts on all the servers, so I can occasionally log into them and talk with people on other servers (or check economy or what have you) and nobody has to guess who I am. But I don't want the names to conflict.

In other development, since it seems like there are going to be 2 servers, not 1, they need new names. Here are the ones suggested by Beren (and image for the sig :pump: ):

-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

SW

So what about siege?
We have several Aussie in the guild that can't siege because of time diference
I have been in many guilds with many Aussy's and Kiwi's and they have had no problem with the time difference for the prime time battles. Usually the battles take place mid morning for them. In fact, during some times of the year and after some changes to time, it is difficult for players on est time to get on because battles end at 11 pm. However the thunders from down under have had no problem.

And how does one prove that this account of yours on Reni is in fact yours and not some random guy/gal, what is the criteria for merging 2 accounts together. Why not just leave the accounts alone and just move them? Add a hash to the end or a special character or something if there are duplicate account names.

So if they merge on account name then I will have 16 characters on my account permanently or forced to delete 8? If I keep them all permanently and there is only an issue if I want to create a new character on the account that's fine by me.

I don't think merging duplicate account names is wise, it is possible that two different people around the world will have created the same account names. Hence more clarification on the specifics of account merging required.

The key word that Aqua said is "one." For example, you can have an account on Reni and an account on Artemis all under the same account name, currently. The merge would combine those two accounts on the account name into one giant account on Artemis. Unfortunately, I do not think they can merge an AU account with a US one, due to originating from separate regions.

You aren't quite phrasing the question right. The example Aqualink gave is -one- US account with characters on -multiple- servers. You have one US account and one AUS account.

So your concern is of the following: "AUS and US account have the same account name, are the accounts being merged or being kept independent?" and other concerns about proving ownership if accounts are being merged
A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

I believe this is just a misunderstanding. On US servers, you can have 1 account with 8 characters on each server, and the only thing you need is a different secondary password for each server, so yes, 1 individual account can have a lot more than 8 toons. In the proposed merger, it's potentially possible to have 40 characters on 1 account involved on the Govinda side of the merger.

Right!! I get it... I forgot about that, presumed you needed another account but you just switch servers and keep the same account there don't ya.

Well as long as peoples characters don't disappear and they keep them all I think it's ok xD

Thanks for that ya'll :D
