Hey Chieftains!
We hope you're continuing to enjoy your adventures in Soulmask! Currently, our team is fully focused on finalizing the upcoming 1.0 release - you can expect exciting new content very soon! However, we recognize the importance of addressing current priorities first. Hence, the announcement:[b] A new batch of PVE servers will be released and some of the oldest PVE servers will be merged.[/b]
We deeply regret having to deliver this news — we know this announcement brings countless questions and frustrations. Please allow Community Manager Maggie just a few moments to walk you through the details:[b]Why is this necessary?[/b]
Why are we making these changes? Let's journey back to those first exhilarating 30 days post-launch last year. Your overwhelming passion transformed every official server into what felt like an overstuffed capybara enclosure - our veteran chieftains will remember the chaos of five players wrestling over a single scout spawn! Now that a few months have passed, perhaps our private servers have seen significant improvements, or perhaps Soulmask’s mods offer a different kind of appeal. According to our data, a considerable number of players from older main servers have migrated to the private servers. As for those who remain... Maggie is very impressed with the incredible wonders you’ve built on the main servers - like this one:
[i]Trust me[/i], apart from your tribe members and moose NPCs passing by in the wilderness, there are almost no living players left in these servers to appreciate your masterpieces. In fact, this is just one aspect of the current state of PVE servers. This doesn't match the atmosphere developers envisioned for Soulmask's official PVE servers: a bustling world where chieftains explore and reshape things together.
[i]*Epic build, but looks like I'm the only one around to appreciate them lol[/i]
Therefore, through this server consolidation, we sincerely aim to help every player who still cherishes the official servers recapture that golden era we shared. Of course, Maggie can already anticipate your concerns:
[i][b]"What does this mean? Am I forced to start fresh in a new environment?"[/b][/i]
But we assure you: When migrating your tribespeople and possessions to this renewed world, you might discover completely new allies - this social alchemy is precisely what makes Soulmask's official servers uniquely compelling.
Also, we don’t intend for everyone to start completely over.
[b]Before the official server merger, there will be a 2-week transfer period where you can move everything—from your constructions and resources to your tribesmen—through the mysterious portal to the new server.[/b]
[b]And this isn't a one-time thing![/b] You can transfer [i]multiple times[/i] until all your assets are moved to the new world. So yes, you won’t need to collect a ton of wood and copper ores all over again.
Also, during these 2 weeks, we will [b]maintain a higher collection multiplier[/b] on the new servers. There's no better time than now to expand your base!
Of course, for chieftains who might have missed this announcement, we will transfer all progress from your last logged-in characters to the new servers.
[b]Which servers will be merged?[/b]
We expect to close a portion of the old servers in each region, and at the same time, we'll be opening up a bunch of new merge servers to give you all access to a whole new world:- [b]Asia:[/b] AS[1001] to AS[1080] will be closed and merged into the new PvE_20 Person Tribe server AS[01] to [08].
- [b]North America:[/b] NA[2001] to NA[2048] will be closed and merged into a new PvE_20 Person Tribe server NA[01] to [03].
- [b]Europe:[/b] EU[3001] to EU[3063] will be closed and merged into a new PvE_20 Person Tribe server EU[01] to [09].
- [b]Oceania:[/b] OA[4001] to OA[4006] will be closed and merged into a new PvE_20 Person Tribe server OA[01].
- [b]South America:[/b] SA[5001] to SA[5008] will be closed and merged into the new PvE_20 Person Tribe server SA[01].
