Gloria Victis Merges Servers and Opens Season of War

A maintenance window on July 30 brought two significant changes to Gloria Victis: Medieval MMORPG simultaneously: the start of a new Glory Season and the completion of a regional server merge.

What changed

Server merge

• Servers within each region have been consolidated into a single regional server per region.
• Open-world crafting workshops were removed; stored resources were transferred to the Auction House for players to retrieve.
• Guild Islands and Guilds were carried over to the destination server.
• The developers state optimizations are in place to support a larger player population without degrading performance, and additional regional servers can be deployed if needed.

Season of War (Glory Season)

• Glory Seasons are approximately two-month competitive cycles built around Faction vs Faction vs Faction PvP.
• Top-ranked players at season's end earn unique titles and gold rewards based on final standings.
• Every Thursday, players receive Contribution Points based on their ranking, redeemable at Glory Quartermasters for special items.
• Character progression — equipment, levels, professions, guild progress — is never reset between seasons; only the seasonal rankings reset.

For existing players, the merge is the more immediately consequential change: fewer, fuller servers should mean denser territories and more contested PvP, which is precisely the environment a Season of War is designed to reward.
