Vindictus Outlines Further Plans for Server Merge, Tentative Date Announced
Vindictus announced plans for a server merge earlier, with the intention of bringing US-EAST, US-WEST, and the Australian server into one massive megaserver. Now, we have more information, with an updated FAQ, and a date.
A tentative one, however. The Vindictus team states that they are still in the process of checking things and making sure everything is ready to go, and the big day, marked for Wednesday, November 8th, may be pushed back. If all goes according to plan, however, maintenance will start at 12:00 AM Pacific Time/3:00 AM Eastern Time/9:00 AM CET/7:00 PM AEDT. How long this merge will take has not been announced. My personal bet is that it will be a 24-hour maintenance.
Some updated FAQ points, however, include-
- Players with more than 7 Free characters across all 3 servers will be unable to make more new characters, but existing characters will not be deleted nor made unavailable.
- If the Shared Storage will overflow with items after the server merge, the excess items will be placed in an invisible queue. To access these items, remove items from the Shared Storage, and re-log to access the queued items.
- All items in the normal, Quest, and NX Inventory tabs will be carried over as normal, but players from US-WEST and Australia will find items in the Temporary NX Storage screen sent to their inbox. Vindictus apologizes for the inconvenience.
Check out the full FAQ here, and prepare for a new megaserver once the maintenance finishes. Hopefully it will make the game feel more lively, and won't be a lagfest.
