Funcom is prioritizing server health by consolidating the player base, ensuring that the social and competitive elements of the game remain vibrant. While leaving your current territory behind can be a headache, the studio is providing specific tools to ensure you don't lose the hard work you've put into your desert stronghold. If you are on an affected world, you will need to utilize the Character Transfer process to find a new home.
To make the move easier, players who don't already own them will receive the Base Reconstruction Tool and the Vehicle Backup Tool. These are essential for the transition. You should use the Base Reconstruction Tool to save your current layout before the May 26 deadline. This allows you to redeploy your structures on a new server without starting from scratch. For your fleet, it is highly recommended to disassemble vehicles into base storage or use the backup tool to secure your tech.
Be aware that popular worlds like Pax and Harmony are reaching capacity, so migration options there may be limited. If you prefer the isolation of a quiet desert, Funcom has confirmed they are currently working on self-hosted server options for those who want to control their own Arrakis experience. For now, check your world status and start packing your spice; the storm is coming for these servers, and you don't want to be caught in the open when they go dark.
