Important notes:
1) If your nickname replicates an already existing one in the other server, your character has been renamed to "Lord/Lady [Your nickname]". You will be offered a free rename when you first login. You will be able to login with your pre-merged nickname and password for 10 days after your first login. If you choose not to do that, your character nickname will be saved with the prefix permanently.
2) Your characters in lordswm.com will add to those you have registered here. All rules for multiple characters management apply. Therefore, you will need to make a choice, which one to make your main character.
Characters from .com will all receive a special marker in their transfer logs.
- Should you choose your .com character as additional, actions forbidden to additional characters, commited by that character up to 7 days since merging before the marker will be pardoned. This means, you have 7 days to sell estates, rare event artifacts, enchanted artifacts, leave clans, etc.
The only acceptable way to sell those items is to create an auction for 3 days with initial price of 1 gold and no buyout price.
The only acceptable way to transfer clan leadership is to your main, by leaving full treasury amount at the additional character's disposal.
- Should you choose your .ru character as additional, all of that character's actions, prohibited to main characters will be subject to penalty. Please abstain from any such activities.

4. You may now review constructions you have built in other factions' castles. Visit the castle page and click on faction icons on top of the page to review those constructions. If a faction icon is not available, it means you have not built any construction there yet.
5. Potions of skill are sold at Artifact shop. It allows you to increase your active faction skill level in every combat if there are more skilful combatants in it. Details: https://www.lordswm.com/art_info.php?id=skill_drink

12. Rangers' guild. This new guild's concept is to struggle with thieves. It is possible to join the guild after reaching combat level 7. Joining is free, you will need a mount to perform ranger missions. Thief and Ranger bonuses are identical, but any character may only have one at a time, depending on which guild is active at the moment.
