Lineage 2 developers has released the plan about Lineage 2 server merge. And you can get the first-hand information at below. Also check the previous announcement and see what has been updated- North American Servers Merger.
Servers to Be Merged
*Update*
The server merge plan is based upon current server population balancing needs and the physical locale of the server hardware. Servers 1 through 5 are located in North America on the West Coast and servers 6 through 8 are on the East Coast. As such, only servers in the same physical location are eligible to be merged. With that in mind, below is the server merge plan.
Server 2 (Sieghardt) + Server 5 (Erica) = Sayha
Server 3 (Kain) + Server 4 (Lionna) = Aria
Server 6 (Gustin) + Server 8 (Hindemith) = Phoenix
After the merges, the old server names will be deleted and not used again.
Servers 1 (Bartz), 7 (Devianne), 9 (Teon), 10 (Franz), and 11 (Luna) will not be involved in these merges.
Account Services
*Updated*
In order to facilitate the smoothest possible merge, all account services will be turned off one week prior to the merge. We are also turning off all transfers to the affected servers on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 (after the regular weekly maintenance).
We will be turning on all account services again, including server transfers, on July 8th after the maintenance.
Characters
Character Name Conflict Rules *Updated*
If a character name exists on both servers, a pop-up window will appear on your character selection screen and you must type in the name you want for that specific character. If the name you type in is already in use, you will get an error and be prompted to type in a different name.
If a character name conflict occurs, you must type in a name for that specific character before you will be able to log into the game.
Clans & Alliances
Clan Name Conflict Rules *Updated*
If clans from the servers being merged share the same clan name, a number will be attached to each clan name. The clan name may be changed at the High Priest/Priestess in any village. The clan name change request will be applied during the following week's regular maintenance (on Tuesdays). Please note that once the clan name change request is complete, it cannot be revised or changed.
Castles, Manor, & Clan Halls
*Updated*
All castles, manors, and clan halls will be reset.
All clans that own a castle/siegeable clan hall prior to the merge will be reimbursed with clan reputation points (on July 8th).
Castle Warehouse will be initialized and all items will be deleted.
All clans that own an auctionable clan hall will be reimbursed with Adena (winning bid amount) on July 8th during the merge maintenance. The reimbursed Adena will appear in the Clan Warehouse. Clans who purchase an auctionable clan hall after July 1st will not be reimbursed.
The manor system and all items associated with it, such as seeds, will be reset.
All fortresses will be reset.
The first castle siege time for a merged server is to be determined.
