With today’s downtime, we have merged Rizlona into Aradune. Any characters you had on Rizlona are now accessible from Aradune unless you opted to move them to another server prior to today. Free transfers are no longer available upon completion of this downtime today. To reiterate some of the most frequently asked questions, keep reading.
Naming Conflicts
If, because of the server merge, two or more characters have the same name, the conflict was resolved as follows:
- The player who has logged into their character within 60 days before the merge retains the original character name. If there is still a conflict, the character with the highest number of minutes played retains the original character name.
- The renamed characters will have additional letters added to the end of their name and have been flagged for a free rename. Characters who have been renamed can open the rename window to pick a new name with /changename chat command.
Guild Transfers
- Guilds and guild halls remained intact after the merge.
Real Estate
- Real estate was merged completely onto the new server.
- Neighborhood names may have changed in the event of duplicate names.
Banks
- All items in your regular bank were transferred completely.
- Shared bank items from Rizlona will appear in the item overflow window on Aradune.
- Shared bank platinum from Rizlona was combined into your shared platinum on Aradune.
Overflow Items
- If your account had any overflow items on Rizlona or Aradune, they will be in the item overflow window on Aradune.
Dragon’s Hoard
- Dragon’s Hoard items went with your character to Aradune.
Overseer
- Overseer agents, experience, stats, and active quests from both servers have been combined.
- Incapacitated agents have been recovered after the merge.
Account-wide Achievements
- Any Account-wide achievements obtained on Rizlona but not on Aradune were added to Aradune.
- If any Account-wide Achievements were obtained on both servers, the earliest date achieved of the two was kept.
Tradeskill Component Depot
- Tradeskill Component Depot items went with your character to Aradune.
- If the number of items in your Tradeskill Component Depot exceeded your maximum item count, you will only be able to withdraw items until dropping back below that cap.
Universal Chat
- EverQuest’s Universal Chat system uses a separate database undergoing its own merge. After the server merge, Universal Chat may not be available immediately. As soon as its merge is complete, Universal Chat will be turned back on.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What will the server be named after the merge?
A: Since Rizlona is merging with Aradune, Aradune will be its name.
Q: If I only have 8-character slots available on my account, but after the merge I now have 12 characters on the server, what happens? How is it determined which characters I can access?
A: If, after the merge, your account has more characters on Aradune than you have access to, the characters you cannot access will be grayed out in the character select screen. Characters are selected to fill the slots, starting with the most recently logged-in characters first. Characters created after the start of Free-To-Play are limited to the number of slots available due to membership level and purchased slots. Characters created before Free-To-Play are always available.
- You can regain access to disabled characters by subscribing if you are Free-To-Play, purchasing additional character slots, or deleting characters from the un-grayed portion of your list.
Q: What happens if there are guild name conflicts?
A: This very rarely occurs, and we currently do not see any guild name conflicts between Rizlona and Aradune. If, however, there is a conflict, GM discretion takes over for a final decision. The guild with a forced name change will have “of Servername” appended to their name and the guild rename flag will be enabled. (In exceptional cases, an X will be added to the end of the guild’s name.)
