The entwined heavy gear, the chained-up body and mutant hands are just telling people a lot has happened to the fallen Lord.

3. Or write and post whatever you can think of, leave the word “beauty” alone.

US Servers to be Merged!
Hey our US fans,
We have now taken the next step in our ongoing server consolidation process. The US server mergence has been discussed on the forum for months, and finally the time has come:
When:
Tuesday, October 21st 2014, 22:30:00, PDT
In order to provide more consistent gameplay experience for our US players, we decided to merge all 3 servers this time (including the West Coast, Central and East Coast), and this will be able to offer a larger number of engagement chances and make events more fun. Considering the data volume of all US servers, the server merge will take at least 4-5 hours to complete. In addition, the merged server will be based upon Central timezone to balance the in-game events.
All US players can still access the game via normal server icons. In order to avoid the name repeat problem, all characters on the destination server will have a server-specific tag added to the characters to distinguish the original servers.
We know players on Central and East Coast servers fell behind for several months due to our server launch schedule-list. To help them catch up a bit and better prepare the far more intense fights just around the corner, starting from today, all players on US2 and US3 will receive a special Server Consolidation Package everyday (excluding the one-time Subscription) until the servers get merged! Each of the guaranteed package contains the following items:
US2 Server Consolidation Package
x1 30-day Subscription (one-off item)
x50 Metal
x20 Alloy
x20 Revamp Gem
x20 Vehicle Parts
x3 Lucky Scroll
US3 Server Consolidation Package
x1 90-day Subscription (one-off item)
x80 Metal
x40 Alloy
x60 Revamp Gem
x50 Vehicle Parts
x5 Lucky Scroll
As for the merged EU server players, we do want to express our sincere apology for missing out the chance to prepare you the packs. But all players of EU2 can email support@mechanist.co or post under the forum to request the package. Be sure to include your character name as well. A full package with a week’s items in total will be delivered within 2 days after the info is verified (the pack will be identical to the one of US2).
Please note that as the merged server can only host up to 5 characters, if you have more than 5 characters in total on all 3 servers, the mergence will consume characters that being long-time inactive or low-leveled comparing to other characters.
Thank you for your continued support and we do look forward to a more consolidated and vibrant US server!
