Hello Warriors!

We are very happy and proud to see so many of you enjoying the game, while we are getting back to our regular work schedule. Today we are introducing a number of important changes that will improve the overall quality of life for all the players, as well as some server-side optimizations. Part of our team is also back at work creating new content that will be getting introduced in the following weeks, so sharpen your swords and prepare for what will be coming soon to the world of Gloria Victis.

We would also like to make an important statement about the New Beginning Server merges.

Without any further delay, let’s see what today’s update brings!

Changelog v.1.0.7

Current State of Servers

A month has passed since the launch and after the intense time, now comes the stabilization. During the release, we set up more servers than would normally be needed, and now, with improved servers’ performance and the stabilization of the population, we believe it is important to merge some of the servers. The planned merge should bring the population together, bringing more fun and challenging than before. We have decided to merge certain servers together in such a way that will maintain the balance between all the nations and increase the number of fun battles and activities that will be happening on such servers.

The merge will take place on the 10th of March, after the weekly rankings end, in order for the players to receive the reward they have earned. After the merge, the Glory, Guild, and Arena rankings of the servers will be merged together. The following servers will be merged together:

Europe Region:

• Wolfield 3 and Wolfield 6 will be merged under the name of Wolfied 3
• Wolfield 4 and Wolfield 5 will be merged under the name of Wolfied 4

NA/SA Region:

• Holmridge 3 and Holmridge 4 will be merged under the name of Holmridge 3
• Holmridge 5 and Holmridge 6 will be merged under the name of Holmridge 4

Some details:

• When merging 2 servers, we will keep the player-controlled locations data from the server with a lower number.
  Example: when Holmridge 3 and Holmridge 4 will be merged under the name of Holmridge 3, they will keep the locations data from Holmridge 3.
• Workstations from both of the merged servers will have to be removed but you will get back the resources you put into them – you will be able to receive them from the Market ("My offers" tab)
• Merging the rankings – if you are already listed in the same ranking on both of the merged servers, we will save the higher of these values.
  Example: if you have 1,000 Glory Points on Holmridge 3 and 2,000 Glory Points on Holmridge 4, after the merge you will have the higher of these values – 2,000 Glory Points in this case.
• The Underdog status will be cleared on the merged servers.
• After the merge, the 60 day cooldown for switching to the Underdog nation by using the Mercenary Recruiter will be cleared for all New Beginning servers. This cooldown is triggered by changing your main server. You will be able to join an underdog nation even if you changed your main server in the last 60 days.

This will allow for more challenge, as there will be more players competing on the same server, and more opportunities for large-scale battles.

Changes in the Market

Today’s update brings a change that will improve how the Market works. From now on, not only will it become faster to use, but will become more responsive with a special loading icon showing that the players’ request is being processed. From now on, the Market will run smoother and with fewer lags, making it more reliable and more pleasurable to use.
