NCsoft has announced that all Territory War Badges lost during the Lineage II server merge in October 2010 will soon be replaced. The lost badges will be given back to players during the regular maintenance on Jan. 11.

Here is a brief FAQ and some examples about this insertion.

• Will this insertion replace all of the Territory War badges I lost during the server merge in October 2010?
  • Yes, all of them and each kind.
• Will this insertion cause the deletion of any new badges that I acquired after the server merge?
  • No, they will not be affected.
• Will the insertion reset the badge count that I have on the Territory NPC?
  • No, it will not be affected.

Scenario 1:

• Pre-Merge Bob had 50 Aden Badges, which were removed during the merge.

Scenario 2:

• Pre-Merge Fred had 20 Goddard Territory War Badges, 20 Aden Badges, and 40 Giran Badges, which were all removed during the merge.

Scenario 3:

• Pre-Merge Ted had 30 Gludio Badges in his quest inventory. Then he participated in the last Territory War but did not claim badges at the Territory War NPC.
• Right after the merge, Ted saw that his 30 Gludio Badges were removed, but that his badges on the NPC were not removed.
