Clarifications on the Merging of Erevos and Olympus

Merging of Erevos and Olympus

- The merging will be done this Wednesday or maximum Thursday.

- All accounts and Guilds from both game worlds (Erevos and Olympus) will be transferred to a new game world called Hades.

- There is going to be a new world map which will be larger than the previous ones (more Regions and more Regional Bonuses) and will have 2 more Factions which will be controlled by the AI.

- No progress will be lost for both the players/cities and the Guilds. However, Guild Regions and CP will be deleted as there will be a new world map. When the merger is completed (a downtime of 3-4 hours might be needed), ALL players and ALL Guilds from both Erevos and Olympus will be transferred AS THEY ARE (or to a 30' minutes state prior to the merger) to the new game world called "Hades".

- Auction Houses will be merged. Auctioned items will NOT be lost. The resources and items which are kept in the player's Markets will NOT be lost (though this is NOT what the market is for and we will change it very soon....)

To make a long story short about the merger, imagine that EVERYTHING that exists in Olympus and Erevos will be transferred AS THEY ARE to Hades and ALL players will be playing on ONE game world.

"Delete Account" Function

Due to the fact that multi-accounts are not permitted in Battle Conquest and since SOME players have one account on Erevos and one on Olympus and they will be transferred to ONE game world "Hades" and since they are NOT allowed to play with more than 1 accounts on the same game world, we will add a "Delete Account" function.

- Players are NOT obliged to use the "Delete Account" function if they only have one account.

- Players are NOT obliged to use the "Delete Account function if they have 2 accounts, but ONLY play with one.

- Players who have TWO accounts (one on Erevos and one on Olympus and NOT two on THE SAME game world as this is forbidden anyways), will have the chance to delete one of them and receive Gems which will be added t the other account through a mechanism which will be described below.

- In order to delete an account, the account has to have a min. of 2000 Fame (excluding the CP bonus). The amount of Gems is related to the account's Fame, excluding the CP bonus to its calculation. In other words, only Fame from Building's levels and Tech levels counts for the determination of how many Gems a player will get.

- A player will login normally to the account he wants to delete and click on a "Delete" button. A popup will inform the player about the process and will indicate the amount of Gems that will be given if he proceeds. If the player proceeds, then a 32 digits number will appear, which needs to be kept secret, as it will be used to his main account in order to receive the Gems. This 32 digits number will be entered into a "Redeem" field and upon clicking on the "Redeem" button the Gems will be transferred to that account.

- The deleted account will be PERMANENTLY deleted, so EVERYTHING will be lost. HOWEVER, we have decided to also allow items and Aether to be transferred to the other account with the same process as described above.
In other words, this 32 digits number will be used to transfer Items, Aether, unspent Gems and an additional amount of Gems directly related to the Fame of the deleted account.


This "Delete Account" function will be accessible for 15 days.

It was never our plan to have more than 1 game worlds, and the creation of Olympus was decided upon the premise of receiving a huge influx of new players, along with other promises by a publisher. This unfortunately never happened, something that was not our fault and something that has led us to rethink our strategy regarding publishers, and it has divided the Community into two game worlds, creating a game experience which was...not good. The BC Community did not have the appropriate size to be cut into two and this has created tremendous problems for us and the consequences of the split has affected the Community as well.

We had to do something about it and so we decided to go through this HELLISH process...Truth be told, the idea behind the merging of Erevos and Olympus is to keep Battle Conquest challenging and interesting for the players, but most of all....alive.

Some people had to reset their accounts on Erevos to start anew on Olympus, only to learn after 3 months that Olympus and Erevos will be merged. Erevos and Olympus have different building/technology costs and therefore players had different progress rates. There is no win win situation and no perfect solution can be found which will satisfy everyone and will not benefit one group more over the other...

It is very important to us to be able to create a game experience which YOU, the Community of Battle Conquest, will find satisfactory. If the game is not interesting, if the game is not fun and challenging...then what is the purpose of this game anyways? This is what the merging of the two game worlds is all about...
