Swapping maps

Galatoni · June 10, 2016, 05:38:14 PM

Hey guys. I know everyone has been hankering for some news regarding the Ark server so here it is. After some discussion the admins have decided that it would be best if we make a shift to 'The Centre' map. We're hoping that this will take place in about a weeks time to give people the chance to get the map downloaded and to take the time to say a fond farewell to their creations/dinos on the existing map. This week should also give a chance to get together to summon the brood mother if you so choose to (anyone who has seen the videos will basically know its a death-sentence though!)

When the map does go live, the central floating island will be reserved for community projects and harvesting only. There will no 'claiming' of this area! The usual PvP rules will apply: there is no PvP unless pre-organised.

In case anyone is wondering, the current map is being mothballed and saved by the team, so its not a wipe-wipe as it were, just in case there are any problems or anything - its just that it won't be available to play after the switch.

Any concerns, please post them here and we'll try and address them.

Can we make an event of the 'start' of the server? As in, let us all know when it will be up and try if possible to land this at say 1930 on a Friday or something? Just so we can all start out fresh on a new server at the same time and work to find each other etc! Could be fun. Appreciate not everyone would be able to make this though.

I left the Ark for new shores, and let me tell you this, I found them. THE CENTRE is vast my comrades, Ferocious Volcanoes, Icy peaks and dense jungle, this place is no picnic!
It is dangerous, and bountiful and the Dinosaurs are powerful, wilder, and more ferocious than any we have seen before!

Ruins, huge, ancient and beautiful, they can be seen from the rivers edge, as I sailed West.

And at the Centre, well, let me tell you, you wouldn't believe me if I described what I saw.

We will conquer this new land together. We will survive this new Ark!

Guys, just a heads-up that the map will be changing shortly - possibly in the next few days.

We will post up the launch when confirmed and give everyone a couple of days' notice but be prepared.
