Merge date was moved to 20 August!
Layers
At Union we disable PvE layers in Mithril Mines, Plunderous Plains and Isle of Prayer.
Cemetery boss is also disabled on Union.
All players from Seasonal server will receive 30-days ticket which will allow you to enter following PvP layers:
Players from Union cannot enter these layers. In future maybe we add some ways to obtain such tickets also for union players (can be events/gift codes/etc)
General Changes
Olympiad Changes
On union olympiad will be disabled for the entire week from 17.08.26 until 24.08.26.
After merge Olympiad will work the same as it is worked on seasonal server - from Wednesday to Sunday at the same hours as it was on seasonal server.
Limits will be 20 matches per day. You start with 10 points and get +10 every day.
(We also plan to change limits from daily to weekly with 100 battles per week, but still not sure if we will be able do it before merge. If so - we will make additional announce on merge day)
We understand those who love oly very much and feel that 20 (100) battles aren't enough. But the only thing we can recommend for now - play on a second character. We don't want the Olympics to become a grind, so we believe 100 battles per week is enough to test your strength. Perhaps this will create a bit more randomness in the race for hero. This worked well in the new season, so we want to see if it works equally well in Union. Anyway, we may reconsider the limits in the future.
Hellbound Changes
Skill changes
We not plan a lot of skill changes, so it can be count as "hotfixes". More significant changes will be before next season.
Following Items will be deleted from all players
We will clean some old quest/event items on this merge. It will mostly affect only union players.
