$newsInfo.title_Destiny: Rising - Epic Sci-fI RPG Shooter

Greetings, Lightbearers.
To better facilitate cross-region team-ups and provide a better social experience, as well as to further improve operations, we're pleased to announce that thanks to the team's hard work, Destiny: Rising will be enabling cross-server play. The server link plan will be carried out as follows:

I. Link Time
● Completed after the maintenance on 11/06/2025.

II. Cross-Server Play Plan
● NA and LATAM cross-server play enabled
● EMEA and APAC cross-server play enabled

III. Cross-Server Adjustments
1. Server Selection & Login
● The 4 servers, LATAM, NA, APAC, and EMEA, will still be available for selection.
● Two linked servers share the same login information. For example, logging in to LATAM will also log the Lightbearer in to NA, and logging in to APAC will also log the Lightbearer in to EMEA.
 
2. Server Reset Logic
① Once servers are linked, the two linked servers will share one daily reset. Additionally, as Daylight Savings has started, reset times have been adjusted accordingly.
● NA daily reset changed to 04:00:00 (UTC-8)
LATAM daily reset changed to 09:00:00 (UTC-3)
● EMEA daily reset changed to 04:00:00 (UTC+1)
APAC daily reset changed to 11:00:00 (UTC+8)
 
② These adjustments affect the following systems and activities: daily Pinnacle Energy recovery, daily activity refreshes, daily bounty refreshes, daily Morgran's Prey Pinnacle Reward attempt refreshes. For further details, please check in-game daily refresh times.

3. Accounts/Characters
① Old Characters
● Characters created on different servers prior to enabling cross-server play will be retained.
● Following the server link, Lightbearers can choose a default login character from either server.
Afterwards, the default login character can be chosen from the in-game settings.
※ Characters from different servers on the same account cannot be transferred to other accounts.
 
② New Characters
● Following the server link, Lightbearers cannot create another character on a linked server.
(For example, after cross-server play is enabled, creating a new character on LATAM will lock the Lightbearer out of creating a new character on NA.)

4. In-Game Contents
① Usernames & Duplicate Names
● If a duplicate username exists on both NA and LATAM, then the LATAM Lightbearer's name will be automatically changed to "Username#6004."
● If a duplicate username exists on both EMEA and APAC, then the APAC Lightbearer's name will be automatically changed to "Username#6003."
● Lightbearers whose names have been changed will receive a notification in their mail and 1 free Rename Card.
 
② Social Systems
● Chats: Chat histories on the LATAM and APAC servers will be deleted.
● Packs: Duplicate Pack names will be addressed as follows:
1) If multiple Packs on NA and LATAM share the same name, then the Packs will be renamed based on the priority of LATAM Preparing → NA Preparing → LATAM Founded. Renamed Packs will have their name changed to "PackName#6004" or "PackName#6001."
2) If multiple Packs on EMEA and APAC share the same name, then the Packs will be renamed based on the priority of APAC Preparing → EMEA Preparing → APAC Founded. Renamed Packs will have their name changed to "PackName#6003" or "PackName#6002."
3) Leaders of Packs with changed names will receive a notification in their mail.
※ Data will be retained for all other social systems for ease of teaming up and playing.
 
③ Matchmaking
● Once cross-server play is enabled, the physical server that Lightbearers belong to will remain unchanged. When matchmaking, priority will be given to Lightbearers on the same physical server.
● When matching while in a team from another physical server, the server will be arranged according to which of the linked servers has more teammates.
※ Note that there may be some latency while playing with Lightbearers who are too far away.
 
④ Leaderboards
● Rewards for The Expanse, Calamity Ops, Gauntlet: Onslaught, and Shifting Gates leaderboards will be issued as usual based on the pre-server link data. Going forward, server-wide rankings will be based on the post-server link data.
 
⑤ Activities
● Calamity Ops: Following the server link, the first Season 2 cycle start will be delayed until 11/06 at 18:00:00 (UTC-7).
