An Evony server merge changes the shared map around your account, but it does not erase your personal progress. This guide covers what stays, what resets, the 2026 merge lists and the first 24 hours. It also explains why changing servers on purpose is a separate option for brand new accounts only.
In an Evony server merge, two servers share one world map and the new server number comes from the higher SvS ranking. You keep your buildings, VIP level, gems, gold, resources, generals, troops, items and your own subordinate cities. Bookmarks, relics, rankings, alliance buildings and the lower-ranked server’s Kings and titles reset.

What is an Evony server merge?
A server merge is not a move you request. Evony pairs two servers, puts both on one world map and rebuilds the shared map state around them. You cannot choose which server you merge into.
You still log in through your original server entry. The merged server takes the number of whichever server has the higher SvS ranking.
Evony announces each round on its official news site, info.topgamesinc.com, with the full list of server pairs. Older merges came with about 10 days of email notice. In 2026 the first-round list went up on March 23 for a merge expected on March 26. Watch the news site and in-game notices instead of waiting for an email.
Personal account progress survives. Many map, ranking, alliance and throne records do not.
What survives an Evony server merge and what resets?
Everything on your own account survives. Shared map objects, rankings and server records reset, and the lower-ranked server loses its throne records.
| What survives the merge | What the merge wipes or resets |
|---|---|
| Your buildings and Keep progress | Bookmarks saved on both servers |
| Your VIP level | The lower-ranked server’s Empire name, Kings and titles |
| Your gems, gold and resources | All rankings, which reset and refresh |
| Your generals, troops and items | NPC subordinate cities from the lower-ranked server |
| The subordinate cities you own | Alliance buildings, including the Alliance City |
| Your alliance, plus its donations and stored resources once the Alliance Warehouse is rebuilt | Monsters and resource spots (reset) and relics (removed) |
| Monarch’s Glory, if you unlocked it before the merge | The current Throne War cycle, which restarts 24 hours after the merge |
| The higher-ranked server’s Empire name, Kings and titles | World chat, Temple effects, and Undead Event and Monarch Competition records |
| Troops outside a city, which return to that city automatically | Your city’s map position (every player is teleported to a random spot) |
The Alliance City can be placed again on the new map with no resource or time cost. The exceptions are an alliance that had not built one yet and an Alliance City build that was already running. Those pay the normal cost.
Subordinate cities follow the Server War ranking. The higher-ranked server keeps its subordinate cities and takes in the other server’s non-NPC subordinate cities. If two monarchs share a name, each gets a number, such as “Evony 1” and “Evony 2”.

Evony does not publish how it picks the pairs. If your server is not listed, no merge is announced for it yet.
What happens in the first 24 hours after the merge?
The map looks different and the throne is empty for a day. The Throne War restarts 24 hours after the merge, so treat that first day as a reset period.
Monsters and resource spots reset, and relics are removed. Your old bookmarks cannot guide you because bookmarks from both servers are deleted. Every player lands on a random spot on the new map.
All rankings reset and refresh from the new server’s data. The Monarch Competition resets, and rewards for its last stage are sent out.
Your alliance will need to place its Alliance City on the new map. Its donations and stored resources come back once the Alliance Warehouse is rebuilt.
You do not need to recover troops that were standing outside a city. The merge returns those troops to that city automatically. Your generals, troops and owned subordinate cities remain yours.
What should you do before the merge?
Prepare for the known resets. The notice can be short, and it never offers a choice of destination.
- Copy any bookmark details you want to keep outside the game. Bookmarks on both servers will be wiped.
- Expect all rankings to reset and refresh. Do not rely on the old ranking screen after the merge.
- Be ready to place the Alliance City again. The free resource and time rule does not cover a build that was already running.
- Expect monsters, resource spots and relics to be reset or removed, so old saved map points will not carry over.
- Do not spend gems, gold, resources or items only because you fear the merge will delete them. Those personal holdings survive.
Your VIP level carries over, so plan gem spending on your own schedule. Our Evony VIP guide covers what VIP points and VIP time are worth, and the Evony refining guide covers when to spend refining stones.
If you are rebuilding momentum after the map and ranking resets, check the current Evony gift codes for free rewards.
Daily tasks keep paying after the merge because your progress stays. The Evony bot runs gathering, building upgrades, troop training, healing, rallies, shields and quests on a Windows 10 or 11 PC with LDPlayer 9, Nox or MEmu. Botting breaks most games’ terms of service and no bot can promise you will not be banned, so read our bot safety guide first.
Can you change servers in Evony as a new player?
Only with a brand new account. A voluntary server change is not the same as a merge, and it closes within days.
The account must be less than 3 days old, and its Keep must be below level 6. Both limits apply. Once the account is too old or the Keep reaches level 6, the option is closed.
A new account begins with two Server Migration Tokens. Each move spends one token, so the account can move no more than twice.
A mid-game or late-game account cannot migrate, even if it has a token. For an established account, a server merge is the only way its server changes, and the player still cannot choose the destination.
Evony server merge FAQ
Will I lose my buildings, troops or resources?
No. Buildings, troops, gems, gold, resources, generals and items survive. Troops standing outside a city are sent back to that city automatically.
Can I choose which server I merge into?
No. An established player has no control over the destination server. The announcement tells you a merge is coming, but it does not give you a choice.
When is the next Evony server merge?
Evony announced its second 2026 round, 68 server pairs, on September 8, 2026, without a date. It posts each round on info.topgamesinc.com, so check there for your server number.
Do my subordinate cities survive?
The subordinate cities you own survive. NPC subordinate cities from the lower-ranked server are removed.
What happens to the alliance city?
It is removed from the map. Your alliance can place it again on the new map at no resource or time cost, unless it had not built one yet or a build was already running.
Can an established account use a Server Migration Token?
No. Tokens do not let a mid-game or late-game account migrate. Voluntary moves are limited to accounts under 3 days old with a Keep below level 6.
