http://na.aiononline.com/board/notices/view?articleID=309&page=Greetings, Daevas!
We have a lot of exciting news to share with you today, so let’s get to it!
We understand that you’ve been patiently waiting for more information surrounding server merges and free character transfers, and after a few weeks of frantically finalizing all the details to share with you, it’s finally time to spill it! Aion server merges will take place on Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Of course, with something as complex as a server merge, we’ve put together a comprehensive FAQ to help answer any questions you have about what you need to know and do so that the merge happens smoothly for your characters.
On July 8, our character transfer service will be opening for all Daevas. To thank you for waiting patiently for this service, and to help make our server merge a much more enjoyable experience for everyone involved, we’ve decided to give our players unlimited free character transfers until August 18. During this period, you are welcome to transfer as many characters as you desire. After the free period is over, character transfers will be available for monetary fee.
Following the server merge and the commencement of character transfers, we have plans for a number of cool events and contests that will take place both in and out of game. We’ll have more information in July, but this is a major undertaking for the community team, so we’re excited to see what you think of the result!
We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but our anticipation and excitement is peaking as we quickly approach our one-year anniversary and the release of Aion®: Assault on Balaurea™. Fly high, Daevas!
