Demonslayers of Nuanor, Ausgythians and adventurers alike, we invite you here today to go over our plans for Revelation Online for the New Year and beyond.
PvP Vendor Update
As you are all aware, we recently explored the option of updating the in-game vendor for the Legends of Nuanor mode, to add several new rewards you can claim. Moving forward, we will continue to take community feedback and to kick this off, we will be making changes to Agmar Non (Imperial Society Materials Grocer) to provide you with new and exciting rewards to spend your hard-earned Army Coins on from Battlegrounds!
French and German Localization
It is with great sadness that from January 14 and onwards, we will cease localization support for both the French and German languages, respectively. Our reasons include; our main audience speak more than one language and translating the game into French and German sadly slows down the process of bringing new content to everyone.
When Revelation Online initially released, we encountered a lot of issues with the English localization working within the client as the game was originally not designed to support any other languages outside of Chinese. We worked hard alongside NetEase to create multiple language functionality and launch it alongside our English version, but other complications caused delays.
However, while we managed to launch the French and German localizations which took some time, we are still continuing to tackle issues with multiple localizations which takes away from the core player experience we wish for everyone to have; Fun.
We understand that our French and German communities may be upset, and we would like to inform you that while we are removing the French and German localizations from the client as of January 14, we will be continuing to answer Support tickets over the next few months to help you with any inquiries you may have.
We would also like to inform you that you will not have any issues with your account, as you will still be able to access the game, however, the language option in the Game Center will be removed and your only option available will be to play in English.
Time Warp: Endless Solo Dungeon
The next update for the land of Nuanor comes with a test of endurance. More information for this content will come soon, but regardless, here’s a sneak peek.
Players can head down to the Shattered Valley and take on a brand-new challenge. This challenge is only for those who are willing to take things solo by taking on the beastly and fantastical creatures of Nuanor. Each time a boss is slain, you will have a choice to either open a chest or progress further through the rankings. We will provide more extensive details in the very near future about this mode and the types of rewards you can expect to receive!
Server Merges
We will be merging the following servers on January 21:
| Region | Merging Server | Destiation Server |
|---|---|---|
| EU | Oceanflow | Tidewater |
| NA | Spiritwood | Darkfall |
| NA | Divine Overlook | Snowpine |
The Future for 2019
While we have a lot of changes happening in January, it doesn’t mean we don’t have more plans for 2019!
While our team is continuing to work hard on various fixes and changes to content with New Sulan, they have also started working on our next upcoming update: Heaven & Earth. This update will include a wide range of new features and mechanic changes.
We will share with you more details as we progress towards the release of this update.
Q&A about French and German Localization
What will happen to my account?
Your account is fine! Nothing will change on your account, other than the playable language for the game client. You will now only be able to select English on the Game Center when launching Revelation Online.
Q&A about Server Merge
Why was the decision to merge the servers made?
Opening new and merging old servers is a common practice in MMO games when a server’s population isn’t high enough to complete server-wide activities. It creates an additional incentive for the players because they find themselves in a fresh game environment, where they can meet new friends and worthy opponents. We will continue to monitor the servers’ population and regularly merge them, as well as open new ones, keeping the players entertained.
What is a server merge?
A server merge is a process of transferring all the characters from one server to another. During the merge, the characters from server (NAME) will be transferred to server (NAME).
What steps should the players take in preparation for the merge?
There aren’t any. All servers will go down for maintenance after which servers (NAME), (NAME) and (NAME) will be removed from the list of available servers, and all the characters from that server will be transferred to their destination server.
What will happen to (server, server and server)?
They will experience an influx of players. This may affect players’ rating, and also characters’ names, in cases where they will coincide with characters’ names from their previous server.
What will happen to Server First Statues?
Players on the destination servers will keep their statues.
If I have 6 characters or more on a server already due to a previous merge, will I get another 6 character slots if you have 6 characters on the closing servers?
Yes, you will get to keep all of your characters, but please note that you only will keep a maximum of 6 character slots. This means that if you delete any of your additional characters above the original 6, you will not get free character slots for them.
Will I keep the items I have on the auction during the merge and the items and money I have in my mail?
Yes. All the mail will be transferred over, and all of the items that are currently on auction at the time of the merger will automatically be moved over to the auction on the merged server.
Will my Friends, Enemies, Journeyman Alliances, significant others be transferred?
Yes, all of the information from within the friends' system will be transferred.
Will my guild, its progress and its membership be transferred?
Yes. All of the information within the guild system will be transferred.
Will rankings and guild rankings be reset?
Yes. Rankings and guild rankings will be reset.
Will guild alliances be transferred?
Yes. Guild alliances will be transferred.
Will conquered Territories for the week be transferred?
No. After the merge and until the next clan war battle all the territories will belong to no one.
Will I keep my achievements?
Yes, all of your achievements will be saved.
What will happen in cases where the character’s name coincide?
In cases where two character names from different servers have the same name, the character of higher level and experience will keep their name and the other character will be prompted to choose a new name upon first log-in. In cases where characters are of the same level, the character with more accumulated experience will get to keep their name, and if the character has the same experience accumulated the person from the server which is being merged into the main server will be required to change their name.
Example: Person 1 from (SERVER NAME) has ‘Mute’ chosen as a name, Person 2 from (SERVER NAME) has the same name, with the same level and experience accumulated. The person from (SERVER NAME) will be requested to change their name as their server is being merged into Tidewater.
