Region Merge Status
[p]It’s been nearly a week since the region merge, and our team has loved witnessing the new relationships forming and increased opportunities for players to adventure throughout Arkesia together. We've been monitoring data, reviewing player feedback, and after many of hours of sleep post-merge, have been hopping in-game to test the new network structure ourselves. We're happy to see that it's been holding up well, and are excited to announce that we will be keeping this structure (so no need for the back-up plan we announced before the merge). The only update we plan to make is regarding Party-Finder and Matchmaking rulesets. In case you missed the first announcement, we have improved logic planned that will arrive in the November Update:[/p]- [p]Party-Finder: Instance will be created in the world of the lobby leader.[/p][/*]
- [p]Matchmaking:[/p][list]
- [p]A full group of players from the original NA West worlds will have an instance created in NA West.[/p][/*]
- [p]A full group of players from the original NA East worlds will have an instance created in NA East.[/p][/*]
- [p]A mixed group of players will default to NA East. For players that rely on ping to NA West (such as those connecting from Oceania) we recommend using the party-finder tool to ensure they can find or create a lobby that best meets their needs.[/p][/*]
