Heroes of Arkesia,

We have two waves of server merges planned over the next two weeks to enhance the group gameplay experience in the open world of Arkesia. The first round will take place during downtime on March 6, and the second round will take place during downtime on March 13.

We’re excited to see the new friendships forged in the battlefields of Arkesia, and for players to have more companions as they venture throughout the many seas and continents in Lost Ark. Server merges will be straightforward for players who have a roster of characters on one of the servers (they’ll just need to log-in to the new server), but players who have a roster on both servers will have their rosters combined. If you’re one of these players, find our plan for combining your rosters below the list of planned merges.

Our teams at Smilegate RPG and Amazon Games are working to optimize the merge process and shorten the amount of downtime, but the process is complex and will take additional time. We are currently expecting that each weekly downtime with server merges will take up to 16 hours. To account for this, downtime will start 3hrs earlier than normal. For ongoing updates on downtime and server status, make sure to follow the Lost Ark Game Status Twitter / X account, or join the Official Lost Ark Discord.
