The Vairgrys world will be integrated into NA East. No servers (and therefore rosters) are being merged into each other. Policies that merge or sum item counts will only apply to players with an account in both server regions, and players within those regions can find the specifics below. Before we dive into the specifics, we have a team update on how the merge will impact the Thaemine The First Race. With the Region Merge, the leaderboard race for Thaemine The First will draw to a close for all regions. The verified teams and winners will live on the website and receive their in-game rewards after the merge. Teams merged into the same region will retain the titles and rewards corresponding to their clear in their original region. The First mode will still be playa...

Region Merge Update In a team update earlier this year we shared our plans to merge several regions for players to grow, play, and explore Arkesia together in Summer of 2024. On June 5, 2024, we will begin this process by merging South America into North America East. For NA West, we are still searching the best solution to ensure the lowest latency possible for all players. Unfortunately, we found issues that would prevent a good customer experience during the extensive testing we conducted. Identifying an optimal outcome will take time, and this merge will not take place in Summer of 2024. We wish we could provide a firmer update on when we could move forward with connecting these r...
