World Merge

[marjoon003]

Since the worlds merged, I have been placed in a different world than my friend even though both our territories were built in world 12 next to each other:( I have no way of getting back to world 12..

me2. I am the same situation. however, I take this chance to build a island base for purification. There is only one spot for the mob respawn and they are no way to swim to my base.

Is it not possible to change worlds at a teleporter?

Once your server has merged worlds, you cannot go to a world that doesn't exist anymore. At this point the server has been running more than 62 days and is within 1 week+ to actually shutting down.

You should finish up whatever things you want on this server before it's too late. If your friend ever logs back on they will be in the same predicament.

------------ way too much detail -----------

It still is, yes. (1)

When you are at the Teleporter, notice that there are worlds that have a red swirl at the end of there listing. Those are worlds that are going to be merged. Do NOT choose one of those. Instead, select one of the worlds that does NOT have the red swirl (towards the end there will only be one choice).

Once on this world you can place your base.

(1) Unless your server only has a few days left, then you cannot select a different world.

FFR: Once your server has started merging, you can also locate the "safe" world (the one without the red swirl) on the Manibus banner -> phase 6

Source: ME - I have completed Phase 6 on multiple servers... in fact I'm staging a couple of saves right now for the Way of Winter.

PS About a day or two after your server is in Phase 6, it's a great time to run several "Cargo Scramble" events (do this in Blackfell for max Sproutlets)

No, the teleports don’t offer world changes anymore

My friend is in world 12, and I have been placed in 15. On the map I can see that they are still in fact in world 12 but the teleporter just doesn’t let me change to my original world … so both worlds clearly still exist ..

What happens to all your deviations and pets in your house? Mine have vanished, they're no longer recoverable.

[Millie Sec]

close to the end date, it even cannot rise our lost base if it has been removed by the system for long time AFK from the game.

There is another world merge coming to my server. The first phase was 15 to 3, and will be 3 into 1 in 2 days,,

I'm honestly in awe with how poorly they're handling the world merges. If anyone doesn't remember, the entire point of the settlement phase was so you could focus on wrapping up any remaining tasks, continue exploring, and enjoy a stress free experience before the server eventually closes.

Enter the world merge announcement, with back-to-back merges occurring on the final few weeks of the servers existence, requiring players to devote their precious remaining time into relocating their base to a safe instance before they are forcibly removed from a closing instance.

And the developers claim the purpose of the merge is to improve the experience of the remaining players so they're not lonely as the population declines, as if the players somehow can't use the server-wide chat to communicate and coordinate activities and world-hop as needed. It honestly feels more like the devs are trying to make the last few weeks for any remaining players on a closing server as inconvenient as possible so they can coax everyone off and shut it down.

I cannot speak about pets (have none). However for anything else you think is missing; once you have migrated to a new server, just load into Eternaland, wait a few seconds and then return to your new server. This has restored missing Deviants along with Calibrations and House items.
