Lost Ark Server Merges Start August 26 for NA East and EU Central

Posted on by

Lost Ark’s next round of server merges now has dates and server pairings. Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG will merge several NA East and EU Central servers in two phases, starting August 26 and continuing September 2.

The first phase hits both regions, while the second trims the remaining server list further. According to the official post, affected players should handle a few account chores before August 26, including claiming Express event rewards, using Card XP, and picking up any Ark Pass rewards.

  • August 26, NA East: Nineveh merges into Balthorr, Luterra into Vairgrys, and Brelshaza into Thaemine.
  • August 26, EU Central: Ortuus merges into Arcturus, and Ratik merges into Elpon.
  • September 2, NA East: Balthorr merges into Inanna, leaving Inanna, Vairgrys, and Thaemine.
  • September 2, EU Central: Gienah merges into Arcturus, leaving Elpon and Arcturus.

The post also breaks down how the merges will handle characters, character slots, names, items, currencies, achievements, titles, and other account progress. Even if you’ve been through a Lost Ark merge before, this one touches some systems that haven’t been merged previously, including Paradise, Kazeros War Map, Honor, and Character Chronicle.

More details are expected closer to each phase. For now, if you’re on one of the listed servers, it’s worth checking the merge notes before maintenance begins so you don’t leave rewards or account cleanup until the last minute.
