Step 5 – Summary
Problem: The current merge process is confusing, and players don’t know how to manage their characters.
Step 1 – Create a test account
- Open a server.
- Create a test account, e.g., test.
Step 2 – Merge to a new server
- At some point, a merge needs to happen.
- The script temporarily creates a new account for each merge, e.g., test_1.
- Problematic because players don’t know which character should go into which account.
Step 3 – Character management
- The script should transfer characters only to the correct account.
- Only change the character’s name if necessary (e.g., deazer → deazer(1)).
- Do not create a new account for every merge.
Step 4 – Character limit per account
- If an account has more than 7 characters, display a message:
"You can only have 7 characters. Please choose which ones to keep." - The remaining characters should be automatically deleted after a few days.
Step 5 – Summary
- Merge = clean and clear for players.
- Characters are transferred only to the correct account.
- Deazer might find a solution for players who don’t understand the process.
