apx900 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Speaking as a software developer the only time we (in the places i have worked at least) we label something as legacy is if it is a component or module that we will no longer add new features to and it is something we consider not worth of maintaining and should really be replaced. Sooo, the impression i'm getting is that legacy server days are numbered, in the sense that as time goes on the low populated servers will be removed. That's not to say all legacy servers will be removed who knows thy may a certain amount going. So in short expect the number of legacy servers to decrease over time.

Robw2201 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 is there a plan to make the legacy servers just official servers in the future when the people on official servers get the the same level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbie25brb Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The only plan is to out date and remove them not integrate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robw2201 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 so if that is the plan in the first place what was the point on doing any thing on any of the legacy servers so really we have to all start again. after playing for like almost 2 year.

They didn't want to wipe people who actively play. And if your server will be active, they won't wipe it until the game dies out at some point.

TangoOsmo Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 People can't expect them to run empty servers for free. And there's no sense to unite legacy that has been plagued by dupe to new servers that will be plagued by dupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yawnmaster22 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 What do you think on the whole Legacy and new servers? Do you think over time they will just wipe all of legacy servers?

ehuhoser Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Like all the other threads on the subject, yes over time I think many will be wiped. Just look at the player count on them. I also think that many Legacy servers will die because of those alphas duping a lot of items which we all know will continue so they are just hurting themselves in the long run.

KrakenOverlord Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 They'll definitely wipe the legacy eventually. There's no point in wasting the resources keeping them running. A good portion of the legacy servers are already dead and the rest will shortly follow as a domino effect. Players will quit, which will cause more players to quit. Eventually it'll be 1 or 2 lonely tribes per cluster. I honestly wish they'd go ahead and give the rest of us the server space being wasted on these cancer clusters.

Posted from my [device_name] using http://ARK: Survival Evolved Community App Yes they will wipe legacy over time depending on server population. From the looks of it, people are fleeing legacy for new servers. I personally left legacy for new. Don't want to see my hard work go POOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yawnmaster22 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yup my Tribemate quit because of this subject. They should of just wiped them all before saying they would just make them legacy. Because from what I'm reading and hearing seems like it's just going to be bye bye for legacy servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our legacy server that averaged 30 active players daily now only sees 5. Everyone left because now everyone believes WC will wipe alllllllll legacy servers. My real question now becomes, what about when the new servers become low pop? They gonna get wiped too thus causing a never ending migration? This is why we need info on the whole xbox nitrado servers. I don't want to deal with that uncertainty. what use would wiping the new servers do?

That's not to say all legacy servers will be removed who knows thy may a certain amount going. So in short expect the number of legacy servers to decrease over time. They already said they'll be removing them every few months. It's obviously their plan to shut them all down. Our legacy PvE server's getting crowded again though. Apparently people really do like established PvE communities. We're almost back up to our daily average of 30+ people at a time. Still 70+ people logging in each day. I'm sure we'll be on the chopping block soon. They killed off quite a few populated legacy servers with their first swing of the axe so the population, in other words the players, don't matter at all to them.

EU Ragnarok server 117 We have 20 people at the moment. Not all of them are on every day but we have a fair amount that do. Our main base is located at the castle. PM me if your interested.

Racidon Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Technically what they said was "Ghost Town" severs. They also defined "Ghost Towns" as servers that had 0 population for extended time periods. However they also said only the bottom 10% would be closed and you would have 30days to move. What they actually did was bottom 33% and 4 days to move, with a 2 day roll back for some servers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, why would you pull customer support on something? There's only one reason businesses ever do that. The product (legacy servers) is being retired (wiped and repurposed). If you need to play official, get off those servers now because they will be wiped eventually. Go to the new ones. Otherwise, get your own server cluster on unofficial. Then the only person that can wipe your progress is you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuiJimmy Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm based on legacy, I'm taking care of the dinos that I have, but I'm in the new cluster. I've already added my space on the server, I just wanted to know why it's boring to feed them. my legacy server over the weekend had about 14 players now have a 5 to 6 during the week. I just wanted to know that. a yes or no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
