Server Merge Final Mechanics

I. SERVER NAMES & DATE

The following servers will be merged on May 11, 2007. The maintenance will be 12 hours long and all servers except for Thor and Urdr will be down. The merging servers will be renamed into the following:

• Chaos & Loki – Baldur
• Odin & Fenrir – Tyr
• Iris, Sarah, & Lydia – Freya

II. MAJOR CHANGES

• Character slots will be increased to 9 from 5.
• Characters with duplicate names from other servers will have prefixes attached to their names after the merge based on their server (first 2 letters of their server).
• Agit ownership and economies will be reset.
• Goldy Item Seal Quest will be reset.
• Job class rankings will be reset.

III. SPLIT ACCOUNTS – CHARACTER SLOT LIMIT

If a player’s account has more than 9 characters total from any of the merging server groups, his/her account will be split into two. The second account will be the same user name except that it will have the number 2 at the end. The second account will have the same password as the original account and it will be unlinked to the player’s My Level-up Account. The remaining top-up and Rok Points will only be credited to the original account. The newly created account will have no game time or rok points.

This is an example of a split account situation:

Carlo owns the account carloroks with 4 characters in Chaos, 3 characters in Loki, 5 characters in Odin, and 5 characters in Fenrir. The total for the Baldur Server is 8, while the Tyr Server is 10, and Freya 0. Since in Tyr he will exceed 9 characters, his account will be split into two. His second account will be carloroks2.

This is an example of a successful merged account situation:

Carlo owns the account carloroks with 4 characters in Chaos, 3 characters in Loki, 5 characters in Odin, 4 characters in Fenrir, and 3 characters a piece in Sarah, Lydia, and Iris. His total character account per merged server is as follows: Baldur (4 Chaos + 3 Loki = 7), Tyr (5 Odin + 4 Fenrir = 9), and Freya (3 Sarah + 3 Iris + 3 Lydia = 9). He will have all of his characters under his original account of carloroks.

Another example of a split account situation:

If player erwin has 5 characters in Chaos and 5 characters in Loki, the split will look like this:

5 chars(Chaos) in first account/ 5 chars(Loki) in second account

IV. SPLIT ACCOUNTS – KAFRA STORAGE LIMIT

If a player exceeds the Kafra Storage limit of 300 for any of the merging server groups, his/her account will be split into two. The second account will be the same user name except that it will have the number 2 at the end. The second account will have the same password as the original account and it will be unlinked to the player’s My Level-up Account. The remaining top-up and Rok Points will only be credited to the original account. The newly created account will have no game time or rok points.

This is an example of a split account situation due to Kafra Storage Limit:

Mich owns the account michroks with 150 items in her Kafra Storage at the Chaos Server, 200 at the Loki Server, 50 at Fenrir, and 50 at Odin. Her total storage numbers per merged server are: Baldur (150 Chaos + 200 Loki = 350), Tyr (50 Fenrir + 50 Odin = 100), and Freya 0. Since her Baldur account exceeded the 300 limit, her account will be split with a new username of michroks2.

Another example of a split account situation due to Kafra Storage Limit:

If player erwin has 5 characters in Chaos and 4 characters in Loki, but the total storage item count for both servers is more than 300 the split will appear like this:

5 chars in first account/ 4 chars in second account. Chaos kafra will go to 1st account/ loki kafra will go to 2nd account

V. GAME TIME AND ROK POINTS

If the account is split into two, the original account with the older server sets will get the Rok Points and Game Time.

This is an example of game time/rok points being credited to the account with older servers:

Monet owns the account monetroks which is split into two: monetroks and monetroks2. Her Game Time and Rok Points will be credited to her first account – monetroks. This account will have the older set of merging servers.

VI. NAME CHANGE

All characters will have one name change option for free. There will be no premium items that will enable characters to change names again in the future. Players will only have 2 days to do the name change or get stuck with their name FOREVER.

@apo mav

badtrip kung kaw nauna dun sa name then ginaya ng taga ibang server then di ka naka name change dahil busy ka. /e5

mg absent ka sa work or sa class pra mkapag change name..

2 choices lng

:aversion:

mas ok kung sa char select nlng :D

Mahirapan dun sa name change... Ang daming mascascam sa name change thingy na yan.. kayang kaya abuse yan kung 1st come 1st serve. lalo na kung high profile yung character name mo.

pag ala ka kapareho hindi lalabas yan ?

oh well my name's unique enuf...

RE: name change
NO FAIR
3 accounts ko puro baby fel name ng characters ko.
Tapos pag nag merge WHAT IF my baby fel dun? :annoyed:
Ano mang yayari sa lahat ng characters ko? AYYY MADAYA YAN!
BOOOOO...
so that means need ko loadan all 3 accounts para makapag name change.
Aya sus! ni hindi ko nga memorize names ng characters ko eh. :faint:

Poor Fel :cursed:

That's why dapat may value added services na such as name change. D:

Haha! meron ako na-confirm based from a RELIABLE SOURCE.
REGARDING NAME CHANGE

@change name topic


kelangan bang may ir or IR sa name mo???? :confused:

kapag may kapangalan ka lang po ata sa lydia/sarah

suggestion lang po. ganito po gawin nyo.

1.) login ka sa sarah/lydia.

2.) create a character with the same name as your character in iris.
- pag nakagawa ka ibig sabihin wala kang problem come merge.

3.) delete the character you just made in sarah/lydia
- pwede rin na wag nyo muna i-delete para up to the last minute
bago mag server merge e naka sort of reserve na sa inyo yung
name ng character nyo. siyempre wag kalimutan i-delete bago
mag down yung server for the merge.

@pseudo

thnx

you can use that change name to mess someone up... =)) or puwede ka gumawa sa ibang server... hmm

unahan na lang pag may kaparehas ka =))

tanung ko lang po

kahit ba wala kang ka pangalan sa sarah/lydia, pede ka pa din mag change ng name ng char mo?

kunyari gusto mo lang i change ung name ng char mo dahil panget :aversion:

@^
uu ata /hmm

sana din walang katulad yung name ko sa ibang server huhuuhuh

o? pwede ka mag name change maski wala kang kapangalan sa merging servers? /?

i smell grave abuses underway...

uu nga.. i smell trouble hmmm

panu ung mga kilala n ntin scammers? change their names para hnd n mkilala... o kya gagayahin nila ung name ng mga guild masters para mkscam OMG!

^ oo nga eh. /ok yan ang pinag dadasal siguro ng scammers plus new people sa merge new victims. /e5

basta sana wala kapareho name ko :annoyed: pag nagkataon :cursed:

By: Waukeen
Source & More Info at: http://www.waukster.com/gaming-ragnarok-se...-mechanics-v20/

- Blacksmith Rankings
- Aldebaran Race Track Rankings
- Warp Points (Acolytes, Priests, Monks, Champions, and High Priests)
- Godly Seal Quest

CHARACTER SLOT LIMIT
Character Slot Limit is back to 5 from the original 9 due to technical problems. However, I was able to convince Gravity to do MANUAL TRANSFERS a week after the merge. This means that we will patch the additional 4 slots after the merger and players can file tickets and we will forward your tickets to Gravity. They will manually transfer your characters to the server of your choosing as long as you were affected by the split account.

Let me give you the worst case scenario that I can possiblty think of.

Account Username: carlo
Character Number per Server: Chaos (5), Loki (4), Odin (4), Fenrir (5), Sarah (5), Iris (4), Lydia (4)

After the merger, his accounts will be split because he exceeded the 5 Character Slot Limit not just for one server set, but for all three. Take note that if you exceed the 5 Character Slot Limit for even just 1 server set, you will have split accounts. The main account with the original username will get the characters from the dominant servers. The dominant servers are the ones with more characters compared to their peers in the server group. For example, in the Baldur server group (Chaos Loki), carlo has 5 characters in Chaos. Chaos is the dominant server which means the main account will get 5 characters from Chaos and the split account will get the 4 characters from Loki. In the case of a tie, the system will pick the older server to be the main. Here’s what will happen to him after the merge:

MAIN ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo
Baldur Server - 5 characters (from Chaos)
Tyr Server - 5 characters (from Fenrir)
Freya Server - 5 characters (from Sarah)

SECOND ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo2
Baldur Server - 4 characters (from Loki)

THIRD ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo3
Tyr Server - 4 characters (from Odin)

FOURTH ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo4
Freya Server - 4 characters (from Lydia)

FIFTH ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo5
Freya Server - 4 characters (from Iris)

However, after the merge, we will be able to implement the additional 4 slots. This means players can already file tickets requesting for an account transfer. Take note you can only transfer characters in the SAME server family. You cannot transfer your Freya character into Baldur. You can just transfer the 4 characters in carlo2 to your main account since Baldur just has 5 characters from Chaos. That would make it a total of 9 characters for your Baldur server in your MAIN account.

The question in your mind right now should be - why can’t we just implement that 9 slots prior or during the merger? According to Gravity, all the other countries who did their merges did it with just the 5-character slot limit, and adopted the additional 4 slots shortly afterwards. It is technically possible - but it will take them time to develop. However they couldn’t give us a timeline and I’m guessing it will take them months before they could do something like that.

KAFRA STORAGE LIMIT
Another restriction is the 300 Kafra Storage Limit. The same rule applies - you must have a total of 300 or less items in your Kafra Storage for each Server Group. Chaos Kafra + Loki Kafra must NOT exceed 300. Here’s an example:

Account Username: carlo
Storage per Server: Chaos (300), Loki (300), Odin (300), Fenrir (300), Sarah (300), Iris (300), Lydia (300)

It’s quite simple. The Kafra splits when you exceed 300. The main account will have the initial 300 for all the three new servers. It will look something like this:

MAIN ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo
Baldur Server - 300 (from Chaos)
Tyr Server - 300 (from Odin)
Freya Server - 300 (from Iris)

SECOND ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo2
Baldur Server - 300 (from Loki)

THIRD ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo3
Tyr Server - 300 (from Fenrir)

FOURTH ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo4
Freya Server - 300 (from Lydia)

FIFTH ACCOUNT USERNAME: carlo5
Freya Server - 300 (from Sarah)

Dominance is established once again by the number of characters. In case of a tie, the older server is declared the main server.

GAME TIME AND ROK POINTS
Existing game time and Rok Points will be credited to the MAIN ACCOUNT. Secondary split accounts will not get any bonus game time and rok points.

GUILDS WITH THE SAME NAME
Guilds with the same name from other servers will have the first letter of their respective server inserted to the name as a suffix. For example, there is Shadow Circle chaos and Shadow Circle Loki. After the merge, there will be two Shadow Circles. The first one (from chaos) will be Shadow Circle [C] and from Loki will be Shadow Circle [L].

NAME CHANGE
All characters get a chance to change their name once for 1-2 days. I’ll confirm duration by Wednesday.

Warp Points (Acolytes, Priests, Monks, Champions, and High Priests)

/omg ano ba yan mawawala na gh and brit warps ko nyan! /e5

KAFRA STORAGE LIMIT

NAME CHANGE
All characters get a chance to change their name once for 1-2 days. I’ll confirm duration by Wednesday.

Did I miss anything out? Anyway, please take time to read everything that I’ve written down. What’s best for you is to keep with the 5 character limit and 300 kafra storage for all server groups so you’ll end up with just one account without having to file a ticket for a character-account transfer. IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS/CLARIFICATIONS/SUGGESTIONS, THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO LEAVE A COMMENT.

Guys, on a final note - I would just like to stress that I did everything I could to fight for the 9 slots and the extended kafra storage. It’s good that we were able to get the additional storage a week after, which acts like a compromise on their part. In other words, pinag-laban ko kayo, Lol. By the way, there will be bonus EXP on the week of the merger. As soon as we finalize the date, I’ll post here for everyone to see.
