A Game World Merge is a merger of 3 Game Worlds located in the same geographical area (either the USA or the United Kingdom), and of the same PvP type (Open PvP, Optional PvP, or Hardcore PvP). The main purpose of this is to reduce the number of lowly-populated servers. Cipsoft first announced they were planning on merging game worlds on March 04, 2014. On May 23, 2014, it was announced that Kenora would be the first server to come forth out of a Game World Merge through the merging of Kyra, Nebula, and Thoria. Its actual creation took place on June 24, 2014.
