RIP BW war in CoS , anyways you guys would probably get spawncamped by supple tbh
I am in Supple 
Anyways BW was last night just realized 
theres actually the big BW war that was supposed to be tonight 
man we were so excited, we think blokes are gonna put up a good fight
yeah its bugged probably, you can probably check in game :o
Wait no, its correct LOL
Today is thursday
The territory ownership for worlds that are merging is not transferred with the merge - only the destination world retains territory ownership (and those worlds do not experience downtime at the time of the merge, so any wars on destination worlds can go forward with no interruption). Territory owners should be reimbursed for the land ownership lost in a merge.
War declarations should not be possible on the worlds set to merge once they are confirmed for merge either, so if you were able to declare after the messaging went up, let us know. If this war was declared and not already canceled when we posted messaging on the world, let us know too.

This is a war on Castle of Steel ( world that getting merged Intoi) and war is set at 12 East tonight. So because of downtime people will lose this war? Edit : sorry I got couple beers on lunch break so my understand is slow. Merged into worlds shouldn’t have downtime if I understand well
Correct, we are on CoS and the world’s Silha and Pluto (iirc) are merging into ours. Our territory ownership will not be affected.
Our problem is they declared war on us (Brightwood CoS) after our invasion on Tuesday at midnight (it ended at 12:30amwhich is when the enemy declared. Technically it was declared Wednesday since it was midnight).
The server merge post was announced on Tuesday.
The players declared on Tuesday/Wednesday (technically).
We assume it happened this way because the siege window was midnight and maybe things got messed up as a result?
Correct, worlds that are the destination world (those that are getting other worlds merged into them) do not experience downtime - wars, invasions, planned PvP fun, whatever you got goin’ on, will not be interrupted as we do not put those worlds into maintenance.

Thank you for clarifying this!
Could this be added to the forum announcement during future mergers? A lot of players ended up panicking as a result but thats simply because information is hard to find
Thank you for taking the time to respond, we really appreciate it
I’ll make sure it’s clear in the FAQ! Thank you.

@Kay @Aenwyn @Shadowfox - while we have your ear, you may want to look at the declare on Everfall last night on Orofena. A company from Ohonoo (the sever that is merging into Orofena) made alts, got them to 10 and transferred alts from other servers to declare snipe the zone. You can tell by global chat / faction chat last night, the company leader is a lvl 42, and check the lvl of the turn ins. The company is even called “COULDNT KILL LVL 10s”. They declare sniped it so they can toss it to their main company after the merge tonight. I reported this in game, but I have no clue if its getting to the right people.
This is the kind of toxic behavior that kills servers and has plummetted the population. We have been begging you guys to address the toxic behavior of shell companies and yet we can’t get a mention of it in the dev videos. Those of us still here love the game, but all the new content / perk changes in the world won’t help one of the biggest reasons people quit, toxic shell companies destroying servers and economies. They block content, bypass intended game design and soak the economy’s gold and resources.
That message has appeared on EVERY world, even the ones not getting merges (like maramma)
I’m going to assume, they mean ‘the servers that are merging into others will go down for maintenance’
Delos is a destination world and has the the downtime notification, looks like someone made a booboo
Worlds that are getting merged are already in maintenance and players have been kicked. So if you’re not in maintenance, you’re good.
Messaging is more difficult to parse across worlds when we are doing global warnings - I’ve let the team running the downtime know, and we will work on that for future messaging.
When maintenance will end? It was marked as 2 hours (120 mins), but it’s been 3 hours and the servers are still closed

Maybe they’ll have the servers up by the 23rd or JUL 2022 at 0000 EDT? Hopefully that is. I knew from the start a 2 hour server merge was too good to be true.
