Reminder related to how Inception operates now:

Since 3 years ago, Inception is running under "Sprints". There are 2 Sprints per year, each Sprint lasting 4 months (120 days). At the end of the 4 months, characters are moved to Genesis. Players can choose to either continue the end-game on Genesis (if they want to experiment sockets, w4, quest system, more pvp, etc.) or join the next Sprint from 0 on Inception. 

Genesis is our permanent main server, and the location where characters are transferred from the Inception Sprints. A 300~360x resets server focused mostly on end-game content, a server that will remain online without any editions or wipes for as long as OldSquad will remain online.

All the information about the Transfers can be found on the Official Info Topic for Inception (Gameplay section).

Schedule for 2024-2025:

• 14 March 2025 - Inception Sprint #6 release - ends on 12 July 2025.
• 12 July 2025 - Transfers start from Inception's Sprint #6 to Genesis.
• 19 July 2025 - End of the transfers.

Based on the Sprint #5 and Sprint #6 performances, we will decide if we will continue to host Inception Sprints or not.

Cheers.
