Inconsistent Item Claim box (no longer server-wide?)

  • Hello.

    Recently, I have noticed that the Item Claim (One-Use Items, to be more precise) tab is inconsistent between characters.

    Up until now (or at least, before the data migration), all items in claim box seemed to be server-wide. Regardless on what character we were logged on, we could see the very same things available for claim. However, I noticed that now, certain items in the Item Claim Box seem to be visible on only one character, while others are visible on all.

    At first, I thought it was just some glitch, sometimes showing 4 tabs of stuff in item claim, other times 2 tabs or only 6 items total, but it became obvious when I couldn't find any of the Calendar Event items to claim on one of my alts.

    I'm attaching 3 screenshots with visible current time. On each, I selected the one of the last items - the Reward for Tier 5-8. Claiming it, actually removed it from Claim Item box for all other characters - suggesting it was server/account wide. However, you can easily see difference in amount of item claim pages, depending on character.

    My question - is this some kind of actual bug or intended feature? As, Item Claim being separate for each character. This could get really troublesome if we were to receive some "character-bound" item while being on some low level alt, just to see it also cannot be stored in bank or worse, getting lost together with character deletion while not even being claimed in the first place.

  • The vast majority of item claim items are not account or even server-wide with Gameforge. Working as intended.

    This would then contradict Gameforge's previous comment on the FAQ for the NA servers;

    Will anything change regarding the 2 current servers that NA has?

    • Gameforge will keep the current server structure that NA has, so everything should be the same as before.

    Please note that we will rename the servers from Velika to Velik and from Kaiator to Kaia

    Raederle could we have an official comment on this? The FAQ says nothing would have changed, but GameForge is using a different Item Claim system compared to what we left with. This shouldn't be limiting items 'per character' and should be showing up for all characters until claimed.
