New Shards

Hello Paxians,

As we mentioned in a previous announcement, we closely monitor the population on all Pax Dei shards. Currently, both Apollo (US) and Mimir (EU) are getting full, making it difficult for newcomers to find free spots to settle and start playing.

As such, we have decided to open two new shards on Friday, January 10, at 10 a.m. UTC.

• US - Sif
• EU - Bran

To be able to see the newly added shards on Friday, note that you might need to restart the game.

We will be temporarily opening character transfers from existing shards to the new shards in the same region. Check our FAQs below for more details on how to do this.

We are also working on additional solutions to better manage populations on the shards, including self-initiated character transfers and implementing an automated system to remove inactive plots sooner than initially planned. While we don’t have any ETA to share on these systems right now, rest assured that our teams are actively working on making them a reality.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Pax vobiscum,
The Mainframe Team

FAQ

Are the new shards RP (Roleplay)?

No, the two new shards are standard. They are not flagged as RP.

Why don’t you open a shard for the SEA region as well?

Nuadu’s population levels are stable, and most areas are still low in population, offering enough space for plots to be placed. As such, there is no need to open a new shard for this region at the moment.

When I create a character on the new shards, will I get access to my redeeming queue?

If you already have a redeeming queue with your other characters and create a new character on a new shard in the same region, you’ll have access to the same redeeming queue.

Can I transfer an existing character to the new shards?

As we do not yet have a self-service character transfer, we will temporarily offer character transfer via our Customer Support team. Note, however:

• You cannot transfer your character if
  • You have a placed plot,
  • You are part of a clan,
  • You are in a party.

  Make sure to release your plot, leave your clan and any parties you’re in before contacting our Support Team.

• Only the items that are in your character’s inventory will be transferred to the new shard:
  • The gear your character is wearing and the items in their inventory will be carried over.
  • The skill levels reached by your character will also remain.
  • BUT: all the items and material left on a plot you release will not be carried over, will not be added to the redeeming queue, and will be up for grabs publicly as soon as the plot is released. Make sure to add any precious items you’d like to carry over to your character’s inventory so as not to lose them.

• If the character name is already taken, your character will need to be renamed.
  
• You can only transfer to a shard from the same region (US to US, and EU to EU).
  
• We will only offer transfers until January 31st.
  • If the population levels of the destination shards reach their limit sooner than the date mentioned above, we will stop offering character transfers to them.

If you wish to have your character transferred to one of the new shards in the same region, please contact our Support team directly.

Please note this is a manual process, and some delays may arise when processing your request.
