Server Merge Linkshells

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Only for linkshell name purposes then... I hope Selbina and Besaid don't merge.

*Clash of the FUSE LSs... which would normally result in FUSION!*

Greetings!

1. Character Name Overlap

The decision for which character keeps their original name when identical names clash on a World is based on whether they are active or not, rather than what date the character was created. If both are active, the character which was created earlier is given priority over the name (based on the time stamp at creation). All other characters with the same name will have to choose a new name.

2. Retainer Name Overlap

The decision for which retainer keeps their original name when identical names clash on a World is based on whether the player character associated with them are active or not, rather than what date the retainer was created. If both are active, the retainer which was created earlier is given priority over the name (based on the time stamp at creation). All other characters with the same name will have to choose a new name.

3. Linkshell Name Overlap

The linkshell with the most active characters at the time of the world merge will retain the name. All other linkshells will be temporarily renamed to have a number (such as “01”) at the end of their current name. Players can then request to have their linkshell renamed through GM support.

Yoshida made an update to his original long follow-up post to provide details that were left out in regards to character and retainer name overlap. I've edited the original post and you can also find the updated changes below.

Yoshida took the time to answer a good amount of questions that players have been asking that we're working on now and will post as soon as we are finished.
