ATHENA

Dear players,

based on the overwhelming response to our recent poll about the merge of Athena and Apollo, we are delighted to announce that the two realms will finally be merged, during the night from November 5th to November 6th, before the weekly reset. We will share full details about the merge with you soon, but please note the following:

• Existing PvP teams from Apollo will not persist post-merge due to database constraints.
• As part of the preparation, there will be a database maintenance on Apollo on this Tuesday (October 22nd) morning, lasting approximately 2 to 4 hours, during which the realm and the Account Manager will be unavailable. The originally announced character purge on Apollo will happen during this time, with unchanged criteria:
  • characters with played time lower than 2 hours which are offline for more than 6 months,
  • characters with level lower than 70 which are offline for more than 1 year,
  • all characters which are offline for more than 20 months (i.e. all the ones that are not played anymore and were copied to Helios),
• As we are working on the merge scripts, it is possible they are completed and thoroughly tested before the announced deadline, in which case it may happen even earlier, but at the moment, we remain committed to the originally scheduled date.

We will keep you informed of all relevant details.

Athena Team
