Sector Merge

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.
