Lost Ark Details Upcoming North American Region Merge

The next couple of months are going to be busy for the North American Lost Ark team, it seems. Not only do they have the October update on the way, but they’re also teasing the climax of the Kazeros raid dropping in November. And before either of those, there’s the North American Region Merge to deal with. (Yes, we said “region” and not server.)

On October 22, NA West and East will be merged. This won’t involve actually merging the servers or rosters, but the two regions will be brought together. A full explanation of what will be happening will be available on October 15, but players shouldn’t have too much to worry about. That said, the merge will cause a delay in the drop of the October update. Players can expect it on October 29.

Speaking of updates, the developers of the free-to-play MMORPG shared a little roadmap discussing the upcoming Lucky Box event as well plans for Thaemine Extreme and the Kazeros The First clear race. Players will be interested to know that the Lucky Box will be similar to the version released in Korea, only without the gacha. As for Thaemine Extreme, the devs are holding off on that due to the schedule already being crowded with the Assault Raid double raid release and the drop of Kazeros in November.

Finally, there’s also some information on the Kazeros The First clear race as well as upcoming raid release plans. The devs have outlined who is eligible to play – those who have been caught cheating or using RMT are not. They also point out that speed-hacking will not be a thing during the competition. As with the other things, more details on this will be made available later.
