European Shards merge into one

Game Network, operating Horizons in Europe, has recently merged the shards Wind, Ice and Earth into one shard called Unity.

After months of constant low population on all three shards, it has been decided to merge them, and strengthen the social aspects of the game.

Character name conflicts have been solved by giving the name in question to the oldest character created with that name, and other conflicting characters have been renamed to Charactername_OldShardName. Game Network is working hard to resolve all name change queries resulting from this.

They have also announced a lot of changes concerning Terrain Plots, Community Structures and Support in their latest Newsletter.

If you have been a former subscriber, or are currently subscribed to Horizons in Europe, you have been credited 5 days of playtime to compensate for the trouble caused by this merge. So if you've quit Horizons, maybe give it a second chance and explore all the recent changes to the game during these 5 free days.
