Server Merge Status

Dear players,
We hope everyone started the year well and wish you all a successful and happy 2018!
As you’re no doubt aware, at the end of last year we returned to the task of carrying out necessary server merges. A lot has happened in Metin2 over the past few years, and as a result a number of changes had to be made to accommodate alterations to the data structure.
Following our last successful server merge in France at the end of September, it became clear to us that a lot of fundamental improvements are necessary. The French servers were offline for roughly 2 days, which is unacceptable for us as much as it is for you the players.
As a result, we have asked Webzen to make a few core changes, which we expect will make it easier, quicker and less complicated for us to implement server merges in the future, avoiding unnecessarily long downtimes. We will continue planning and implementing server merges as soon as Webzen has made these somewhat complicated changes (sadly we don’t have a fixed date for this yet). Naturally we will keep you informed.
As the plan for 2018 isn’t finalised yet, we cannot reveal any specifics about upcoming contents at this time. But as soon as our plans are ready, we’ll come back to you with the news as soon as possible!
Wishing you a great 2018,
The Metin2 Team
