We have finally made a break through in getting the old Bang! Howdy data to be compatible with the new data. So here is how this data MERGE will go with pre-existing data compared to the old data:
1) Your old accounts will NOT take priority when it comes to available names. Instead the prefix [BETA] will be added to every handle that has a conflict within our database.
Example if someone currently has the name "Roy Hollister" then the old account will then be named "Roy Holister[BETA]".
2) Merging the beta data was no easy task and took a lot of time and effort to maintain stability.
If you have questions on this matter please consult #banghowdy on our Official Discord located at http://discord.gg/yourfunworldstudios
THIS MERGE WILL OCCUR ON 1/23/2019 @ 12PM EST. Due to this .. The servers will be unavailable between 12PM EST - 2PM EST... Thank you
We will also be pushing out some major bug fix updates to the game at the same time.
