[Notice] World Alliance Update

[Raul]

How did B get into it?

MYCK

Sounds much better.

[Eos]

Considering none of them are "going away" why are you all squabbling over a name for a non-entity?

[ResistGreen]

All of your characters will still be separated by world, so you will essentially have quadruple the character slots for the allied world!

Or you could... Have more than one account?

Furthermore, it would not surprise me if at some point in the near future the alliance is reversed (whether it be due to technical glitches or otherwise).

On Monday, June 11, 2012, we will be implementing the World Alliance between Yellonde, Kradia, Mardia and Chaos after the scheduled server maintenance is complete.

Scheduled server maintenance? When?

It could mean more link mules.

Seems pretty simple in theory, but I think it'd actually be tough to reverse to me. Off the top of my head, I see cross-allied server marriages, guilds (alliance by extension), and families as potential issues. You marry someone who's in an allied server? Do you just end up not married anymore if the servers are separated? Have to sort through all of that, give compensation as necessary. Then, family I don't see as as big an issue, could just delete the members from allied servers, not having a family isn't that big a deal. Then guilds, there's only one guild leader, one alliance leader, do members just end up in the same guild, but now without a guild leader? Are the guilds that are allied in the merged server environment still allied in the separate servers?

It's just a lot of stuff to have to sort through. Once people mingle, I would think there's no going back.

Scheduled server maintenance? When?

Would assume tonight.

[Satellite]

Can't see any notice of a maintenance, so when is it going to be?

[Eos]

Can't see any notice of a maintenance, so when is it going to be?

When they announce it will.

Is this really that hard of a concept?

[Satellite]

When they announce it will.

Is this really that hard of a concept?

No, but it would be nice if they announced it earlier than 30mins before the servers go down.

[SaptaZapta]

No, but it would be nice if they announced it earlier than 30mins before the servers go down.

Well, either they're Nexon being Nexon and just considering it unnecessary to let us know it's at 7am* as usual (?),
or they're Nexon being Nexon and waiting 'til the last minute to tell us they're not quite ready and the merge has been postponed another day or three.

*To those who said "tonight" - the wording of the announcement seems to indicate the maintenance will end on the 11th. If it starts tonight it will end on the 12th.

[Eos]

No, but it would be nice if they announced it earlier than 30mins before the servers go down.

Since we don't know when they're going down yet isn't it premature to complain about how little notice you're getting about it happening?

For all you know they'll announce it at noon that it's going down tomorrow at 6 am.

[ResistGreen]

It could mean more link mules.

I don't think that would work with characters in the different worlds in the alliance. I could be wrong though.

[Satellite]

Ah, I guess getting to play today post-patch was too much to expect.

Someone said here earlier that in kMS, linkskill works across the alliance.

Sadly Link Skills do not go across allied worlds, only Blessing does :(

[IImaplers]

"[MYCK]" Sounds much better.

Why not YMCK?

[ResistGreen]

Sadly Link Skills do not go across allied worlds, only Blessing does :(

Odd, I wouldn't think blessing would work. Nexon beats my logic once again.

[ShinkuDragon]

out of pure curiosity, what about character sets?

Nope.
