[h2]Server Merges[/h2]
The server merges will impact players as follows:
All characters will be transferred with their current items, XP, and progression.
The servers will look like this after the merges:
We chose NA WEST for the merge because it has the best average ping based on their previous server locations.

• North America West: 1 PvP & 1 PvE - Silverlake & Narrowbane
  
• Europe: 1 PvP & 1 PvE - Edrivine & Finville
  

The servers will be merged as follows:

• PvE: Ardholm (OCE), Marshdale (SA), Narrowbane (NA EAST), -> Narrowbane (NA WEST)
  
• PvP: Coinfield (OCE), Ethersalos (NA EAST), Lotus Haven (ASIA), Dawnrock (SA), Ironsheen (NA WEST) -> Silverlake (NA WEST)
  
• No servers will be merged into Europe.
  

[h2]Roadmap[/h2]



After receiving feedback from the community, we have made the following changes to the roadmap:

• Moved Fresh servers and Elemental Rift to August.
  
• Moved rescaled XP table to July.
  
• PvP Season 1 starts in August with a pre-season in July.
  

These adjustments allow us to see the state of PvP with the pre-season, as well as configure any needed changes to the XP table before fresh servers begin. Then with fresh servers, PvP Season 1 will start with all previous balance changes + new XP table values.
We appreciate your feedback and are always interested in hearing more. While certain changes may be limited by our team's task allocation, your input remains crucial in guiding our decisions.
As we begin planning a more detailed Roadmap for September to November, we intend to conduct polls within the community to gather further insights and preferences.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

[h3]Balance:[/h3]

[h2]**Fixes:**[/h2]
-The party xp should now be functioning as intended.

If these can be observed to now function we will go through and change the rest as well.

-Tailoring T1-T5
-Woodworking T1-T5

Hello everyone,

This is our Roadmap for the upcoming months, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.


For accessibility:


We've also looked into creating a Kanban board of sorts, but maintaining it would only take away time from actually fixing issues.
Instead, we will more actively update the Known Issues list in our discord server as it reflects what we are working on in addition to the tasks required to achieve the goals of the roadmap.

Let us know in our feedback channels what you think or if there is anything that was missed that should be included.
