The Gweonid Lantern Festival has returned. Light up the sky in memory of the brave Aranzeb in the 2021 Lantern Festival beginning February 18. After the maintenance, watch the night sky over Gweonid Forest comes alive and sparkle in thousands of lights as the zone turns to a festival period to let the East and the West come together as one in peace to honor the fallen during the fall of Auroria.

To reach Gweonid Forest, you can either travel by foot, teleport using your Teleport Book, or make use of one of the Gweonid Forest Festival Worldgates present in your Faction Base.

How do I participate?

Players level 10 and higher can begin their journey of giving thanks by speaking with NPC Denissi and assist in creating a lantern. NPCs Rojuni and Yallie offer even more ways to earn Lantern Festival Coins, too!

3 times each day, when the mysterious Yata Lantern appears, visit Mellius at 2 PM, 7 PM, and 12:00 AM UTC in Europe, or 12:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and 10:00 PM PDT in North America to find out what to do with it. Mellius will hang around for an hour each time, so worry not.

Use the Lantern Candle to help light the Dimmed Yata Lantern and transform it into a Lit Yata Lantern! Once the lantern is lit, your quest will be complete, and you’ll be awarded 3 Lantern Festival Coins, 1 Glimmershine Essence, and a special Gweonid Elixir buff offering +3% Evasion, +41 Attack Speed, and -4% Cast Time for 1 hour.

Additionally, you can receive additional Lantern Festival Coins by completing Achievements!

ArcheAge: Unchained servers will be evolving soon, allowing you to meet new allies and forge new alliances along the way. Server Evolutions will be making their way to you this March!

The Server Evolution is scheduled to take place on March 4, 2021 for the ArcheAge: Unchained servers.

After carefully looking at the active populations of all servers, we have determined which servers will be involved in the merge process and how they will be combined. Once these servers are merged, the resulting new servers’ populations will be roughly equal to each other in terms of population.
On NA, Jergant, Stena, and Kaylin will be merged to form Akmit.
Denistrious, Runert, Tyrenos and Wynn will be merged to form Marmas.
On EU, Belstrom, Crazzian and Tinnerph will be merged to form Okape.
Gildaron, Halnaak and Alexander will be merged to form Hieronimus.

Be sure to prepare yourself for the upcoming evolution by clearing out your mailbox, selling your additional tradepacks and that's it! Your character will be evolved onto the new server after the maintenance and everything else will be taken care of. Be sure to get in your final sales before the Auction Houses lock preventing future sales.
Please note that the usage of any 7-day buffs during this time will not be compensated if they run out during the server evolution timeframe. Please use these buffs carefully!

March 2, 2021: Auction Houses will be locked. No new auctions can be created on any server that is evolving.
March 3, 2021: The Siege slated for this day will be called to prepare for the evolution.
March 4, 2021: ArcheAge: Unchained will be unavailable as we perform Evolution related maintenance.
March 6, 2021: North American and European servers will be brought back online at separate times. During these periods, we may launch a single server at a time in order to control server loads and give everyone a chance to log in. During this time there may be queues on Evolution worlds due to the number of players attempting to log in at once.
March 13, 2021: ArcheAge: Unchained Land Rush begins. EU server Land Rush will begin at 11AM UTC, and NA servers will have their Land Rush at 12PM PDT.
April 4, 2021: Candidates are qualified and announced, hero elections begin.
April 11, 2021: Evolved Servers' castle claim period.

Hello everyone,

Also, if you are already logged into the game when the maintenance begins, you will be disconnected. This maintenance is expected to last approximately 5 hours but may be longer or shorter.
