Hello everyone, 

 

This has been an issue a long time in the making.   As many of you already know, Nova has been hanging out by itself for awhile, but the time has come to discuss a server merge.   Now before things get out of hand I do want to say this, players moving to Trifri will not be forced to take part in PVP.  We are looking into options to make it so that they will not be flagged.  This isn't a matter of can we do it, it's just a matter of what is the best possible option for this.  So if you are a member of the Nova server and don't like PVP, don't worry we got you. 

 

There are a lot more issues to discuss on the matter, but hey that's why we have this thread.  

 

The first and foremost being Duplicated Characters.   We cannot at this time transfer over characters that were duplicated from Trifri to Nova, then duplicate them back.  This will cause too many issues, however an alternative is something to keep in mind.   
 

If anyone has any ideas on the matter we would really like your feedback.   

 

Sincerely, 

 

CM Varitas

Or event better...completely rework PK system! Make it so cool that even nova players will like it! (PK it's part of the game anyway...). Make it Race based, for example, if a bartuk kill a bartuk get - tendency, if he kills a xenoa get good tendency, make the guards in towns attack red players, add PK points, add PK safe areas (towns and some other), make players unable to attack a player more than 10 levels lower...I'm sure if PK system would be reworked, everyone would be able to enjoy.

Hum.. uhh as for the character issue, i was thinking of something along the lines of simply transfering their levels,~ such that my level 86 assassin instead transfers over and i make.. idk.. a level 86 commander, or tempest or only a certain amount of characters, say 2 or 3..or maybe something to solve a level~gearing problem -- oh and as for the "duplicate" trifri-nova character issue

perhaps just simply wipe the Trfri characters and replace them with the transfered nova, but again, not a whole account, maybe 2 or 3? :o

FOR -_- SAKE! PK isnt that scare ...i say trifri u think PK. NO! i can stand all day in middle of alban and noone even touch me...if u into pk then ok.if not is ok too.

About server transfer , for those who willing to move get their chars to trifri ,and if nesesary delete their dupes left on nova,imo this not a bad idea.

but im glad u guyz take care of this.

Since you can't transfer characters this is my suggestion.Create new chars of the same level of Nova ones that must be transfered ("template" characters) based to level they will get basic rewards.

EXAMPLE :

A player level 90 will have in his new trifri char full NM/Terror MG set (both) +0, MDC weapons +0, a fluid +0, some lant coupons, other various items, 3 MONTHs premium, and try to refund all the item malls too. You know, like 69 box...but it will be based on char level.

Bring a new NPC, that change the current pk status of every char
For example those who want to be PK PLAYERS shoud active the pk by bring the NPC located at the current safe maps like Nova Lux and all turba island
then u talk with the npc and turn ON PK MODE or TURN OFF PK MODE. just put this npc on those safe zones to prevent bugs and safe killing/scoring. like the old one pk item seller.
Its a easy way to do it.
but hey! i have same name/class chars on NOVA so i really wanted to umh i dont know move just 1 or 2 of them instead of all chars

good ideas. hard to make ?

then u talk with the npc and turn ON PK MODE or TURN OFF PK MODE. just put this npc on those safe zones to prevent bugs and safe killing/scoring. like the old one pk item seller.

but hey! i have same name/class chars on NOVA so i really wanted to umh i dont know move just 1 or 2 of them instead of all chars

possible , i suppose.

 

can't think about anything fair for each sides about duplicated toons/gears back on trifri. But probably because i don't really care. the ones who are OP geared will stay so anyway , the others with average gears will not see it like a big boost on an other hand. So : whatever.

What votation, nova will merge with trifri, deal with it. The game will have various benefits from it, I don't think is a good idea to keep a server for few players...

Hi,

 

Just to be clear, one of the things that will happen is that if you were on the Non - PVP server, you will be flagged as Non - PVP.  Essentially nothing will change other than seeing a lot more new faces.

duplicate characters isnt really a big problem, but duplicate items. duplicate items from trifri were roaming around nova now...ofc you cant just delete these items if we bought it legit.nova has suffered enough since FB era. Pls dont make us suffer again..enough is enough..if you want merge then go but dont ever touch our hard earned items because basically you cant find anything useful in our AH. we have to raid or farm grueling hours just to have enough lant or items to trade for these duplicate items..

Pertaining to the items from the Trifri clones. The issue I see is with folks who then create a brand spanking new toon on Nova on a new acct. could then transfer the cloned enchant/stackable/consumable things to this new toon and viola now they get cloned characters items back to trifri on those newly created and transferred nova toons.

 

If i read Varitas post correctly, this is a problem is it not? As it appears to skirt around duplicating any characters.

 

 

 

Tl;dr   Cloned Trifri toon + new toon/acct on nova + dump cloned items onto this new acct = profit?
