Find Yourself with a Level 1 base?[]
A sector merge can take anything up to 10 hours so there will be a period of time when your sector is gone and your new merged sector has not yet finished merging.
What happens when you try to play edgeworld during that period of time? Edgeworld has to put you in some sector so it will put you in a random one. If you have not played in that sector before Edgeworld will create a brand new level 1 base.
This is what happens whenever you join a sector you have not been in before. This level 1 base is not your merged base. You have not lost the base you have worked on in another sector.
When the merge completes and the new merged sector is available you can change sectors and find your old base pretty much as it was.
Always check at the bottom (or top for Google+ players) of the screen to determine what sector you are actually in. If it is not your new merged sector from the list then don't panic. Just wait until your merged sector opens.

Merged Sector Naming[]
The first three are sci-fi references (Firefly, Babylon 5, Dr. Who)
The next one is named from a player, with the 1 year old event (Knight of Throk).
The next 4 (V Dog, Big C, Strong Wils, Captain's Logg) are callouts to Kabam's back-end engineers.
Future Merge Sectors will probably be callouts to the rest of the team (front end, product, art, community, QA, Support).
Controversy[]
Kabam did not originally announce the merge of Tadpole Galaxy sector. In-game mails and forum notification did not originally contain any reference to the merge of Tadpole Galaxy. After the merge had already begun, Kabam retrospectively modified their forum post to make it seem like they had originally notified players of Tadpole Galaxy inclusion in the merge.
Furthermore, some players were dismayed that the Wormhole Crate Kabam offered to compensate for any losses players may have incurred because of the merge was much too little.

First Round of Sector Merges & Pre-Merge Checklist[]
| “ | We are happy to announce the first round of Sector merges will take place this Friday starting at 11:00am PDT
The following Sectors will be merged together into the Serene Valley Nebula Sector. During the merge, these Sectors will be unavailable for play. We anticipate the Merge will take at most 12 hours. We will post here on the forums when the merge is complete. —— Now that the first merge is scheduled, here's what you should do to prepare: I have no characters on these Sectors: Just be patient and wait for your Sector(s) to be announced for merging. I have one character on these Sectors: There's nothing you need to do, just make sure to finish what you were doing ingame before the start of the Merge and log out. We will take care of the rest! Don't worry about any of your in-progress training or building as part of merging process will involve finishing any in-progress builds early. I have several characters on these Sectors, but only one I care about: All you need to do to keep your primary base is ensure that it was the last base you logged into before the Merges begin. I have several characters on these servers, more than one I care about and have put significant work into: Pick your most powerful/favorite and make sure that is the last one you've logged into before the merges begin. Don't worry about which one has certain friends/alliance members, since everybody is going the same place. Please note that characters on different accounts (one of Facebook, another on Kabam.com for example) do not count for this, as they will not be merged together. Additionally, reach out to support about your secondary character(s) and be patient. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the merge, please do so in this thread: http://community.kabam.com/forums/sh...rver-Merge-FAQ |
