Hello there, Adventurer! The coveted Name Change and Server Transfer system will be arriving to ArcheAge: Unchained soon! How soon, you might ask? Well, the system will be live after our maintenance on Thursday, January 14. However, the system will only be available for ArcheAge: Unchained servers for the time being.

Due to technical complications, the systems return for ArcheAge will take a big longer. Once we get updates on this system, we'll be sure to provide them through our official channels.

There have been many player requests for server merges. We are closely monitoring the population and server health of all servers and will consider the need for a Server Merge based on those factors. You will be the one who can make the difference. We understand that Server Merges aren't for everyone, so many alternative options, such as the creation of additional servers, are thoughtfully being discussed. We will announce more details regarding Server Merges when there is new information available.

When it comes to our Legacy Fresh Start servers, they will be merged with the lowest population server on their environment at the time of their merges.

Players all across Erenor have submitted their beautiful and unique faces as inspiration in Stage 1 of our contest. Now it's time to shift this contest into the next gear and ask the ultimate question: Do you think you can recreate such individuality in real life with your makeup skills?

The spotlight is now on you as you put your skills to the test and transform yourself into one of Erenor's finest, beginning January 11. Pick a beautiful face out of the list, adorn yourself in its image, and send us pictures and videos via Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, with the hashtag #ArcheAgeFaces, or by commenting on our ArcheAge Facebook post or ArcheAge: Unchained Facebook post.

Wondering what there is to win? Ten winners will be selected to win the following prizes:
1st Place Winner: 1,000 €
2nd Place Winner: 500 €
3rd Place Winner: 300 €
4th to 10th Winners: 100 € each

We will reveal the winners of this stage of the contest on our Social Media channels on February 5, 2021. You don't want to miss out, so keep your eyes peeled to our pages as you could be a lucky winner!

How do you celebrate the most festive season of the year? With a Winter Maiden Festival, duh! Together, spread holiday cheer and keep Marianople and Austera safe from the icy intruders beginning on December 17. Bah humbug! During the event, festival period rules will be in effect in Marianople and Austera* to prevent PvP from occurring during the joyous season. Getting to the festival zones is pretty easy; use the festival gate in Diamond Shores.

*Please note the localization of the quest "Blessing the Basins" will direct you to Mistmerrow. However, this is incorrect and the festival is celebrated in Marianople and Austera.



During the event, visit the Winter Maiden's Messenger in your capital city to begin a myriad of festival quests! Engage in the festive activities of fending off ice-cold intruders, spreading merry tidings, building snowmen, and completing the Nutcracker to earn Festival Coins!

You can exchange your Festival Coins at a Festival Exchanger for the following stocking stuffers:
Yule Maiden Hat - 20 Festival Coins
Reindeer Headwear - 20 Festival Coins
Snowman Headwear - 20 Festival Coins
Wool Hat - 20 Festival Coins
Cupcake Whimsy Hat - 20 Festival Coins
Beribboned Cupcake Whimsy Hat - 20 Festival Coins
Snowman Cupcake Hat - 20 Festival Coins
Decorative Snowman Cupcake - 25 Festival Coins
Decorative Cupcake - 25 Festival Coins
Decorative Beribboned Cupcake - 25 Festival Coins
Winter Maiden's Lullaby - 25 Festival Coins
Winter Maiden Festival Tree - 25 Festival Coins
Manastorm Crystal - 5 Festival Coins (F2P ONLY)

As a bonus, you can earn more Festival Coins and other goodies by completing the Winter Maiden Festival achievements!

The Winter Maiden Festival ends on December 31 at 01:00 UTC, so log in and join the holiday fun before it ends.

Learn more about the ever-powerful separated lovers, Morpheus and Rangora, experience the return of Stillwater Gulf with a deadly revamp - randomized natural disasters and increasing difficulty as time goes on, and much more in our December Update.



The Chronicles: Eternal Oath
The time has come to discover the origin of a mysterious new weapon wreaking havoc on the continents of Nuia and Haranya, and the heartbreaking story of lovers - Morpheous and Rangora - divided by the jealousy of a merciless Goddess, in The Chronicles: Eternal Oath. Morpheus and Rangora reportedly have grown more powerful, dealing more damage and wielding new weapons to slay their foes.



Morpheus the Deathtrigger
Driven mad by the loss of his lover, Rangora, Morpheus has sworn to defeat as many souls as he can to get his lover back from the Goddess Dahuta. With nothing to lose, he seems all the more determined than ever.



Rangora the Oathbound
Revived by the Goddess Dahuta and led to believe Morpheus, her lover, betrayed her, Rangora has taken the power of the Gods and proven to be more lethal to her enemies and those who lie in her path.



Stillwater Gulf Revamp
Stillwater Gulf's Naval Combat returns, and better than ever! Avoid the Poison Clouds, twisters, and meteors falling from the sky and get rewarded with high-grade supplies. That's if you're lucky to survive.



Mysthrane Faction Competition
It's time to get competitive. A new faction competition begins during the War in Mysthrane Gorge, and it only ends whenever a faction reaches the score limit. Are you up to the challenge?
