On the 4th, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) rolled out a hefty update featuring server merges, the sale of server transfer tickets, adjustments to integrated content matching, and a slew of new events.

First, the team at Arthdal Chronicles is shaking things up to smooth out the gameplay experience. Previously, the game relied on a 'world' unit structure, which meant that a single dominant alliance could steamroll the entire server, leading to some rather unbalanced skirmishes in match-ups.

To fix this, they’ve scrapped the 'world' concept entirely. Now, each server operates as an independent entity, mirroring the structure of the Boost Region. The goal here is to foster a more diverse and fair competitive environment. To soften the blow, every player has been gifted one server transfer ticket.

Alongside the merge, a new character storage system has arrived. If you find yourself with more characters than available slots post-merge, your extra heroes are tucked away in a storage locker. You can access this from the top-left of the character selection screen whenever you need to retrieve them.

The sale of server and alliance transfer tickets is also turning heads. Transfers kick off on the 5th from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Importantly, all your tradable items stay right where they are during the move, and the character deletion level requirement has been temporarily lowered to level 10. For alliances, the cooldown for creation and dissolution, as well as the post-join content restriction, has been trimmed to 1 hour, though the 24-hour cooldown for re-joining an alliance remains unchanged.

It is not just about technical tweaks; there are plenty of events to help you beef up your character. Look out for the 'Joy of Lunar New Year Phase 2', where you collect Hero's Tokens to trade for goodies, and the 'Lunar New Year Attendance Event' which rewards you with plenty of gift pouches just for logging in.

Beyond that, the patch notes are quite extensive: siege warfare bidding has begun, alliance mechanics have been tweaked, new global server outfits are available, and there is a 'Precious Meteorite' mining event. You can check the full breakdown of these changes, including the new packages and adjustments to the Black Night Archipelago, on the Arthdal Chronicles official website.
