Server Merge S6 S7 S8&S9
We have worked out a solution for the server merge. The over-occupied planets now inherit the status of the one with most advanced terraforming progress. Please read the following for the details:
In order to create a more positive gaming atmosphere, we will perform server merging for S6 – Aries, S7- Columba, S8- Pyxis and S9-Volans ,the new merged server is called M3-Capricore.
The servers merging will begin at 00:00, Mar. 7, 2013. The servers may be down for several hours.
The new merged server is called M3 –Capricore.
Merging Rules:
1. Character names will be changed to “name_server”, e,g. Blackhole_S3. The name of the commander will remain unchanged.
2. Players with characters on more than one server will be able to play the characters separately and simultaneously. (Choose at the server list.)
3.The new server name will be shown in game and on the payment page.
4. All planets, fortresses and the Central Space City will have their occupation status reset. The NPC fleets will respawn. Player fleets and motherships will be moved back to their Home Star System.
5.The existing modules on motherships will remain unchanged, and the existing production sequences will continue to finish. However you will have to seize new planets to activate functions of your motherships.
6.The terraformation progress of a planets will remain unchanged. If a planet was occupied in more than one server, the terraformation progress will inherit from the one with the most advanced progress. e,g. Player A on S3 had a planet (50% in Terraforming); Player B on S5 had the same planet (20% in Infrastructure), the planet will inherit from the planet of player B after merging.
7. All commanders will be unequipped and the items will be sent back to assets.
8. The mothership of your Home Star System will remain unchanged.
9. The characters of players who have not logged in game for 2 months AND have not bought any diamonds AND have no commander with level 25 or higher will be deleted to optimize the data base.
FAQ:
Q: What will happen to my spaceships on my seized planets when the data are copied?
A: They will be packed up with the mothership and sent home. You can use them again after the mothership is deployed.Q: How can I make sure the terraformation progress remain unchanged after the merge?
A: The terraformation on your Home Star will not be changed. As for the colonized planets, keep the population at cap, the planet will be unchanged or will likely inherit from a planet with a more advanced terraformation progress.Q: I haven’t bought any diamonds or logged in the game for the last 2 months, and i dont have any commander with level 25 or higher will my character be deleted?
A: Yes, it will. However you can log in the game before the merger so that your character will be kept.
Woohoo!
how does merging 5 servers make this a better gaming experience? if this happens i will look for another game to play. the last server has no chance competing with a server that has been going for almost a year..really wtf!?!?!
Not sure if this is right or not but it says above S6 S7 S8 S9&S11 then S10 S12 S14 S15&S16 but surly S10 will be with M3 –Capricore and S11 with M4-Scutum?
Were 100% confident JF dislikes S11. We never got our Fort event, our server was the only server down several times, and if you read above our server is the only one they cant be bothered to include a name with the number. Now we get lumped with much older servers who DID have an ISW while we did not. Pure awesome!
Essentially were being punished for working harder.
Must be a TYPO ..s10 with M3 & S11 with M4.
WAIT this is really wrong 1st i agree with redruM, and also many of this servers will not have an InterServerWar wich is unfair for the servers that didnt have that pleasure yet also this will be a very good way to taste if the respective servers are close matched, so i think we deserve a really good excuse and explanation, but dont come with the thing that the servers are reach an end with so many inactives if you want t clean inactives just delete the acounts that dont log since 30-90 days and dont expend any money yet and also dont have a level 41 commander, well a combination like between those factors. i hope that tory answer this and that steven think further and deeply all this too.
First, the servers to be merged is obviously messed up. Second, the idea of merging already is completely unfair. What are you guys doing opening new servers if you have to merge the ones you already have without even an inter server war? S14 is only 4 months old, 15 and 16 are even younger, yet, you have the audacity to call this creating a more positive gaming atmosphere. I come from Earth, what planet do you hail from developers?
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! s11 and s12 gets cheated out of server wars. JF treatikng us like red headed step children again.
Umm… WUT!!!! You are seriously going to stick server 11 up against server 7??? ARE YOU FREAKING OUT OF YOUR MIND???? They get 2-3 million xp from their server war and we did not get anything! Heck server 11 got screwed out of the fortress event as well!! This is just not responsible decision making! You need to examine how unfair this is to people like me who have put in a lot of work for 8 months only to see it go to crap overnight! The amount of elites alone that server 7 should have will be ridiculous! Gratz server 7 for getting to have the greatest fun of your life! I love how server 10 gets the gravy train ride out of that one! I will stop here as my blood pressure is at dangerous levels!
Anyone in JF want to rationalize this?
Clearly you are not listening to the feedback of the community, and you wonder why they do not buy diamonds.
Maybe fixing the problems in the first server merge would be a good idea. Or how about plugins? They have never been working.
You must be looking to get bought out by ATVI, since you both have low quality games, fail to fix or acknowledge any of the flaw, and are just in it for the money.
Since you are essentially ripping us off for all the work we did teraforming planets are you going to credit us with the nova coins we invested?? I believe you are acting in bad faith and should reconsider this. Gonna have to find out if this is legal if not you are opening yourself to lawsuits.
They should keep them in their places. Leave S10 with S6 – S9 and leave S11 with S12 – S16. Whats te point of screwing them up? Or Just move S11 back between S10 and S12. Thats unfair to those who have worked hard in those servers to be mixed up like that.
Seriously? I am on S11 and we did not get any pvp from an ISW and now we get stuck with older servers that had an ISW. This is a joke, right? April fools maybe?
Plus Serves 6-9 have already had an inter server war why do they get another one??
Shouldnt this one Inter Server War only be Servers 10-13 or 10 – 16 like how you want it??
I have to agree with all of the above. First off kudos for pushing alot of mergers sooner than later .. at for THAT everyone can agree is a good thing. However, S10/S11/S12 did NOT have an ISW to be lumped in with those who did and apart from that, S14 and later did NOT have a chance to build ships cheaper before your Oct 21st patch. Completely unfair lumping of servers.
S6-S8 Merge for one, S10-S12 Merge for one, S14-S16 Merge for one. Let S9 decide if they prefer first or second one and AFTER S10-S12 have a private ISW to even the odds. This OR at the very least S11 all players recieve 1 million PvP honor AND 100 diamonds to compensate them for the soon to be ass jamming.
And they wonder why more people are not buying diamonds.
When you get screwed out of what you do buy, there is no incentive to spend more money with these people.
They seem to have lost all rational concept of thinking and planning.
It would seem that joyfort could use more gamers on their advisory board which they probably don’t have to start with unless you want to count non existent GMS’s. The lack of which is an obvious sign of dysfunction on it’s own merits.
I agree. Placing s-11 with the older servers is like tossing players to the Lions.
What are we cannon fodder?
Windwolf
Hi,Windwolf
We have changed the plan. Only S6-S9 will be merged this time. Have fun!
I totally disagree!!!!!!! We have worked hard for the planets we have, and are happy with the situation on our server. Now we have to retake what was ours, and more than likely fight new players to regain what we once had, and maybe not be able to reacquire what we had. BAD MOVE!!! Joyfort need to reconsider this move!
When we retake our planets, will there be a defence again? Would hate to lose dozens of fighters again.
Hi,Bryxculus
Yes, there will be a defense when you try to retake the planets.
lol you guys should just keep server 11 with other servers that didnt have an ISW yet… this makes no sense to skip over server 10 and put s11 with 6-9
what no inter server war… i feel so cheated .. And such short notice.
This sucks!!! why we get cheated out of ISW and get put with that somebody that has all ready got to do. it seems like the need to fix stuff up first that needs to be fixed so ppl will not leave in the first place? i agree with the other comments about this merger. It would be nice if JoyFort will answer these questions right away, but for some reason it i believe it will not!
Can you please let the rest of the messages through so we can see what others have to say?
From Hyoki on s11——
I have to agree with all of the above. First off kudos for pushing alot of mergers sooner than later .. at for THAT everyone can agree is a good thing.

I endorse this as apparently when I try to add comment I am awaiting moderation!
All I gotta say is…..”OH NO, JOYFORT SUX AGAIN!!!!” First the joke of a compensation for the taxation screw up that happened, now this. Really….what are you folks (Joyfort) thinking?? Lets get past servers 9-14 for just a second and think about those afterwards (15-17). Since the patch pretty much screwed those folks over for getting planets and more res / NC to build ANYTHING, how is it fair for them to be clumped in with everyone else. As far as the rest of us…I agree with Hyoki, the fact that you are screwing us over by not letting us get pvp through ISW while others had that luxury is ludicrous at best. Take a second and stop trying to cyphon $$ outta ppl long enough to put some rational thought into wth you folks are doin. If you keep making these kind of decisions without at least getting some feedback the players, you’re gonna find your little child “Light of Nova 2″ a lonely place. I know that I am on the fence with just quitting this game all together….because instead of making it better, you keep screwing it up….just my opinion!!!
I have to agree, S10 and up haven’t had an ISW so why are they getting lumped with those that have, this is messed up. Plus why move S11 out of Order from the rest? just to place them with Older Servers? Let them have their ISW before this Big Merger I agree with Matt and Hyoki on this (as much as it pains me to admit, but they are right, Your smashing a lot of players into new Multiserver just to free up space for yourselves it seems.
well this is better then nothing……..bring on the fighting!
Can I ask the poster above to fix the errors? Am sure s11 being put in with s6-9 must be a mistake. There are a lot of alliances on S11 concerned that they will have to merge with alliances that had the benefit of an ISW and 2+ months building. After all 4 players do not make up the population of an entire server.
Now that is funny!
how is this going to affect the planets that u have explored already? will that also reset?
Hi,armyguy
This will not reset.
Tory,
Is joyfort going to add an official Alliance between Alliances so that Alliances who would like to make a formal Alliance can do so. Giving them a second Allies Board so as to keep up with the same support system as Alliances have? As well as a message board to be able to chat with each other?
Because honestly,Joyfort is pushing much wea
much weaker alliances in a do or die situation.
What is wrong with joyfort? Are they trying to run everyone off?
Hi,Windwolf
At the moment, there is no such alliance. However, we will try to come near to players in the following days. Also, you could post your comments on forum or here. We will try our best to reply you timely with the latest changes. Thanks!
thats not fair they started b4 us
Wahhhhhhhhhh
we server merged on s3 s4 s5.S5 getting pretty much reamed as we started later and the other servers already have many commanders that can field 100+k ton fleets and built ships at the old reduced cost. Server merges suck ass.
try fixing the lame equipment system you have. Disband unequip add pluggin re-equip reform fleet.Dam thats lame.
Well thats a load of balls, An seeing as how you are pushing the merger onto players, can I ask, will you be refunding all of the money that people paid before there was any mention of the merge or even refund the players all their money as players on servers that have not had an ISW will be at a severe disadvantage then those that did.
Why the sudden rush for server Merging?
Merge M1 & M2 , ADD S6 & S7 TO M1.
Merge S8,9,10,11,12,14,15 & 16 into M2.
Now there are 2 servers, M1:(s1-s7); & M2:(s8-s16);
Gonna be sooo much Fun!
ok, firstly i like the idea of the merge BUT I want to point out that Joyfort has once again put the screws to its pplayers with only giving 3 days notice. Then there is the screwing s15,16 are getting being merged with 10,12. “In order to create a more positive gaming atmosphere” this is the BS excuse joyfort uses every time they force us to beta test nova II, or screw up the game for newer servers and or players. The truth isnt that your trying to make a more positive environment as much as your trying to push out too many servers and forcing us to play gineau pigs for nova 2 here.
First you ruined the best mmorts ever made “Dawn of Nations” strategems now your summarily ruining nova. I am beginning to believe that chinma is part of a martian colony cuz here on earth we dont call this good customer service or even adequate business conduct.
get a clue before all of us paying players move to a game where the devs dont change the whole game every 3o days or so.
i just have one question. Do you have to fail business school to get a job at joyfort?
Day one in business school is “Business is common sense.” We know how rare common sense is these days…
lol thats really funny BUT it seems to be the truth after all this WRONG choices they make.
AND Tory you still dont ask my 1st post here, we should have an answer or a little fix in all this merges.
this is just more typical JF reasoning. I am leader of Ninja-Squad, on s15.. and i have no desire to fight with older servers over my own planets, or over the forts and CSC which i worked hard to gain. Do u have any idea how many ships it took people on s15 and up to sieze CSC as early as we did? and now we will have to fight with more established servers over who will possess CSC in the new server? Nope. If you do this, im done with this game for good.. sorry but im sick of you screwing the game up and then saying sorry, but deal with it.
I agree with Scaris. This will be completely unfair and will make me stop playing the game as well.
I have to agree with most of the others here, this is garbage.
There it NO way s11 can even be considered CAPABLE of merging with servers 6-9.
seems pretty unanimous, none of my alliance members on s15 plan on playin anymore if you go forward with the merger in this manner. there is absolutely no reason why s15 should be put into a server with s10 and s12, considering they have had nearly twice as long to build up as we have. my alliance makes up over 50% of the rankings list on s15.. so if we leave, it dies.
this is by far the worst i dea ive ever seen the merge w/o server wars is just about as bad an idea for S-11 as ive seen we worked hard to build an alliance and my commanders i cant see this working for anyone including joyfort
Hi,all
Sorry for the late reply!
As you all know, it is a war game. If there are no wars, it can’t be called a war game. Since active players are less for these servers, we decide to merge them into two servers so that you can have more fun by attacking and communicating with each other.
We know that the issue you are struggling with is not whether servers should be merged but which ones should be merged together. In fact, this is affected by many factors. We did have considered it seriously before we made this decision.
Also, all of your feedback have been submitted to the relevant staff. Hope we have a better resolution on this issue.
We will keep you informed once there is any change regarding this. Have a good time!
GIVE US AN INTERSERVER WAR
The way this merger is set up is not a war game. It is a massacre.
Hi,all
Considering your feedback for this issue, we have made changes to this plan.
We will only have a merger for S6-S9 now. If you have any doubts about this, welcome to contact us. Thanks!
WOOHOOOOOOO
So i can guess that S10-S12 or even S14 will have an InterServer War Right?
Hi,Beam316
We will keep you informed if there are inter-server wars for these servers.
Thank you for doing the right thing and not lumping certain servers with older servers who have had a major advantage in development. Please remember though S10 and up would still like to have ISW and mergers, we just didnt want to be lumped unfairly.
Thank you for listening, now I got abgs to day. Have a good day.
Thank you Tory!
I had to agree with everybody that said that this was a bad idea and on such short notice too. I’m happy to see that we will be able to experience the Inter Server wars now and have a chance to grow a little more before being thrown into conflict with much older servers.
Yes, shame everything is mentioned on website and / or forum. would be nice to get in game mail to tell everyone the situation.
Thank you for hearing our outcry! There are a lot of people that enjoy this game, and we too want and enjoy combat and action. The reason that action would not have worked well for younger servers is the time to build elites and build up our commanders. If server 11 had to go against server 7 we would have had to face Ace fleets of 350k tons. Even if you have a lvl 50 commander, which few do, running a regular or even elite fleet up against a player with that kind of ACE fleet volume would be a slaughter. The result would be the lesser player would have no more fleets to fight with and the 350k ton player would probably still have most of his originating fleet to keep playing with! We have to build up to match that, and that takes time!
STOP opening more servers & start giving core techs to new players that start old servers then u may find u have more players in them..Give SERVERS time to get going before u open the next then we may get a more positive gaming atmosphere u keep going on about
(blows tory a kiss)
-_-
so this looks like a Cluster F*** to me you post a link to ISW for 6,7,8,and 9. and then a merge at the same time but you won’t give 10,12,14 etc the same ISW. man you guys really screwed the pooch if you ask me.
Hi,Dan Stefanko
It is possible that S10-S16 have inter-server wars within them. We will keep you informed once there are inter-server wars between them.
not for nothing but all ships and upgrades and crystals etc…. everything is going i was on s9 and now i got to restart…… after hours of playing
i get sent back to the drawing board not fun
@Dan Stefanko:
The 6.7.8.9 ISW link is a very old link – just relax dude.
what a total cluster fuc, email me when yu fix properly and i may come back
Hi,casandra
Do you have any problem?
