During this time, we encourage you to embrace this transition as a chance to strengthen your server\u2019s community.

We encourage you to reach out, be friendly, and have fun with your new server-mates.

Due to your quick progress, we will first announce all named mob firsts next week, before the first set of character transfers are put in motion. If you are eligible for a prize in any of those categories, you should therefore receive it before the transfer is executed.<\/p>\n<p>Faction wide rewards, with the exception of Menotios, will not be announced until the end of the initially specified two-week period. This means that any character that moves away from a server in which he or she participated in achieving an accomplishment will not get the reward.<\/p>\n<p>In light of a successful server merge, we have decided to award a runners-up prize for all race rewards to the race that doesn\u2019t make it all the way to achieving a first.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want the Aion team to answer your question or discuss a topic of your choice?
