Oldskool Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 When the game launches on the 8th and the servers split to legacy and new. How many news servers do you think wildcard will add? I feel like allot of people myself included will be moving to the new servers as they will be a fresh experience and free from the duping an exploits that have messed up the old ones. Im just hoping there will be enough to accommodate all the new arrival players and the people lookin for a new start. Whats your thoughts/concerns?

Rep Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Good question. I had a few questions as well since I plan on moving to a new server and even took some time off to hopefully get situated with a little bit of PVE land this time around. 1) How many new servers (including for the new maps and PVE) 2) Is there a time frame for the new servers yet? 3) How will we be able to tell which servers are the new ones? Will the new or old servers have names or symbols for example? 4) Will there be crossark transfers between the new servers at all? Because I can already see large tribes going from server to server on the new servers claiming up all the PVE/PVP land. Would be nice if there was no crossark transfers at all for some time so new players can get settled in on a SINGLE server before the larger tribes run wild.

I think they have already confirmed that cros ark transfer will be included between only the new servers. But yes having a lock on obelisks for maybe launch week or even 2 weeks would be a very good move. Stopping mega tribes from goin full 4 map overkill an locking down everything. I think adding these new servers needs to be handled correctly and it is a big deal for the game in general. I think these questions need to be answered prior to releasing the new servers.

DeningWei Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think they will be very conservative with new servers as they will have to ensure there is an appropriate number of them 3 months down the track when half the players aren't on them as much. Also unlike the legacy servers the new servers are a commitment to long term spending and therefore WC will be trying to minimize that as much as possible.

Jamagh Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I would like to see a list of servers they are closing down. I have a feeling the SE server 757 will be closing. Does not seem like there are many people on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickoli1900 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 According to the interview that Jeremy did with PCGamer last week, they are adding around 200 new PVP servers. No word on the PVE side, as PVE was announced later, but would imagine the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 I hope they do add 200 pve servers. Its not a crazy amount but should be enough. Still especially with ragnarock being so new and popular i can see them servers being 70/70 for the first few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup3riorArs3nal Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 200 PvP servers + 200 PvE servers should be good to handle things initially. While most people will likely go to the new servers, there will still be a sizeable chunk of players that stay Legacy. I'd prefer 400 per, but 200 would do.

Actually they've confirmed that there will never be transferring allowed between new and legacy servers. It don't think it's out of the question that they decide to allow it way down the road when the game is starting to die out and they want to completely consolidate the remaining official player base, but officially and for the foreseeable future it's not going to happen. For OP. My guess is that there will be enough total servers to accommodate the number of people that want to play new, but that some server types will be capped. E.g. I could see an open slot on a new PvE Rag server being nearly impossible to find when the game drops. In fairly classic WC fashion, we probably won't know all/most the details until right before (or after ) launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fewcm Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 At one time, before they even knew they would have legacy PVE servers they mentioned getting 200 new PVP servers and keeping 400 legacy servers. They also mentioned the cost would be $100,000 for the new servers and $100,000 for the old servers. http://www.pcgamer.com/ark-survival-evolveds-design-lead-on-huge-server-wipe-reversal-and-new-structure-post-pc-launch/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not jumping from legacy to new as that would make no sense. An yea i think its gonna be about 200, still gonna be a hectic few days whe they drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably not expecting a major increase in new official players at launch, that's probably coming later in the year. The new servers are mainly for PR, also to keep some existing pvp players happy and feel like they can get a fresh, equal redo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I myself am happy with the new start idea. Getting hyped for some nice new server action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewcm Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't know. I fear they will end up like the Rag servers: overpopulated for weeks, then ok for a couple of weeks, then crashing constantly with rollbacks every half hour, then rolled back completely to day one loosing everything....

Especially if some of the big alpha tribes want some fresh action. I can smell the human jerky already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 So if we have kinda figured that they will add around 200 servers. Maybe more, what map do you reckon most people will rush to. I feel that Ragnarock is gonna be the number 1 holiday destination for allot of survivors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
