Overview[]
Since October 2021, we’ve been riding the wave of state merges in State of Survival. As newer states continually open their doors with enticing challenges and fresh opportunities, many players have made the tough decision to leave older states behind. This exodus prompted developers to take action, recognizing that merging older states is crucial for enhancing the gaming experience for the dedicated players still active in these older states.
So, how does this merging process work? Before any state merge takes place, developers conduct thorough data analysis to identify which states should be combined. The selected states are categorized into main states and sub-states, allowing for a structured approach. Each main state can encompass anywhere from one to four sub-states, ensuring a cohesive transition.
Once the merge occurs, the data within the main states remains intact, safeguarding the achievements and progress of the players who have called these states home. Players from sub-states are seamlessly transferred to the main state, creating a bustling hub of activity. However, this transition isn’t without its challenges: the wilderness areas are cleared away, leaving players with the exciting task of reestablishing their presence in the new landscape.
The ongoing state merges are more than just a technical solution; they represent a commitment to maintaining an engaging and vibrant community where players can thrive together, regardless of when they joined the game. By embracing these merges, developers are paving the way for a dynamic gameplay experience that keeps both seasoned veterans and newcomers invested in the world they love.
Accounts and Alliances[]
Are all our state's accounts included in the merge? Not all, if an account has ALL of the following, they will not be merged to the new state and will be removed:
- HQ level lower than 5,
- Payment level lower than $5, and
- Not logged in for more than 15 days.
Note - Only those accounts that meet ALL the above three conditions will be removed.
For Alliances - if no Alliance members have logged in for more than 15 days and the Alliance has an Alliance level that is lower than 2 the Alliance will not be merged into the new state.
What if I have the same name as another account? No problem, if this happens your Account Name will be followed by your original state number. For example:
PlayerNameState#998, PlayerNameState#999
Please keep in mind, when you log in for the first time after the merge, your Settlement will be randomly relocated regardless of whether your State number was changed. If you choose not to login, your settlement will remain in limbo and will not be shown on the map of your merged state. After 120 days of inactivity, you may login and follow the Welcome Back in-game prompts and choose a new state from the given selection or remain in your current one.
All of your individual settlement data remains intact when you merge. Your backpack, your resources, your statistics - they all stay the same. Nothing resets. However, your In-State ranking will change according to the original rules and the new state's players'.
If an Alliance acronym (ABC) is repeated in the merge, the Alliance leader that logs in first will keep their original acronym and the other Alliance will be assigned a random acronym that can be changed by an Alliance's Leadership.
Your new merged state will not have a Governor. Your first merged state's Capital Clash will take place following your merge and a new Governor will be appointed by the Leader of the victorious Alliance. Checkout the countdown timer on your new state's Capital or in your in-game event listing for your next Capital Clash event.
Alliance and State Buildings[]
All of an Alliance tech is maintained, but all Alliance buildings are removed. This includes your:
- Alliance HQs (Plain and Wasteland),
- Event Buildings (Trap and Colosseum),
- Alliance Towers, and
- Honor Buildings (Showdown Master Statue, Champion Fist, Spring of Glory, and/or Spring of Power).
An Alliance leader can start to place some Alliance buildings immediately without consuming any resources. However, the number of Alliance Towers is limited at first and follows a schedule for expansion of an Alliance territory. Watch timers in game for Alliance Tower schedule.
An Alliance's Warehouse Resources will be exactly how they were prior to the Merge.
All State buildings in the Wilderness, such as Analysis Centers, Bunkers and Facilities, plus Capital are reset to unoccupied status. Alliances need to occupy them again via Territory Tussles through Analysis Center occupation battles, Fortress Fight, and Capital Clash, respectively.
State Analysis Centers[]
If your Merged state has Analysis Centers, none of the Analysis Centers will be contestable after the Merge and they will be protected. A countdown timer will be shown on the various Analysis Centers throughout your state map. Alliance Leaders need to plan placement of Alliance Towers in the new Merged state accordingly as Analysis Centers must border Alliance Territory for benefits to take effect. More information about State Analysis Centers can be found here.
