Please observe that if we notice this maintenance is likely to cause long term damage or the software does not behave as expected, we will rollback the changes.
TMW Legacy will NOT be impacted by this maintenance and will remain available during the whole time, except for registration and account recovery.
Account Migration
Your player data in TMW Legacy as of the time the maintenance begins will be made available on Test Server. However, some data will be reset:
Some equipment you may be wearing (forced unequip)
Options and Status Effects, except for @mute
Guild, Partis with over 15 members, Pets
Skill levels
Skill points
Races, except for Undead and Talpan
Some of the hair colors
The following magic spells: Abizit, Miteyo, Itenplz, Zukimbirf, Manpahil, Joyplim
Whatever you are focusing on (but not focus skills)
Job Level will also be reset until you kill a monster.
You can expect the same exceptions for the real migration.
TMW Evolved vs TMW Legacy
TMW Evolved have a few differences when compared to TMW Legacy; From technicalities to design choices.
All the official differences can be found listed here, on the wiki.
Anything different not listed there should be considered a bug. The bugtracker can help you to find if a bug was already reported or not, and its current standing.
Note on accounts not eligible for migration
We will be purging about 30,000 accounts which do not have a bank account, have an empty storage, and has deleted all the chars.
Additionally, about 400 accounts will not be ported due Evol2 being case-insensitive. If you are affected by this, please contact us.
Vault/Mana Launcher Integration
If everything goes smoothly, you will be able to port exactly one account to the Vault. The Vault is an unified authentication manager which allows you to use the same credentials across multiple servers and is in overall more secure than ManaPlus built-in authentication mechanisms.
Details will be published when Mana Launcher reaches Beta stage.
Will you keep my data on Test Server? What's the purpose?
NO. All data on test server (and Vault, and Launcher, and etc.) will be deleted once the testing stage is completed.
The purpose of this is to test technical aspects for the previously announced TMW Legacy→TMW Evolved migration and to avoid pitfalls which could cause harm to our users.
I only play the game. Does this affects me in any way?
Your personal data will be copied to the test server and deleted once testing is finished (there is no ETA for this yet).
Sorry, lawyers told me I had to inform you about this. Otherwise, no, if you only play on TMW Legacy, these changes should not affect immediately you in any way.
