Cataclisto Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 They mentioned that they will look at them again at a later time. The end of October is actually a good guess as this is when new servers will be added, they might re-asses the servers at this time to see what they should close for the aberration release and open new ones. The last round they deleted almost every server that had under 11 active players, my guess is if your server is above that then your safe, at least for awhile. Your friend is trolling you about aberration closing/not releasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclisto Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Edit - Pasted the wrong thing here, Wanted to say that I think most legacy servers will be closed by end of year, or middle of next year on arks birthday, just by the looks now.

Cleaver Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Basically, it's a numbers game for Legacy at this point. If we can get numbers up our servers will likely stay open... if we can't then we will have to quit or find new homes. We don't have a specific date for when they might look again, but if you want to keep your server you need to increase its traffic. That's currently a huge issue for us, how to get new players to come play and old players to move in without creating a hostile Ark experience.

Everything your friend told you is untrue, rumour, or assumptions on his part. There has been no announcement regarding any further legacy closures yet, let alone which specific servers. There has also be no mention of Aberration being cancelled due to money loss because it is completely untrue. Don't listen to rumours, but at least you asked the question so now you know your friend is trolling/lieing to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this is incorrect. The Scorched sever I played on for example was consistently 20, 30+ players yet it was still killed off. Barely any Scorched server survived from what I remember when we were considering moving to a new one, before eventually deciding not to bother. But yeah OP, your 'friend' is full of crap.

Anything's possible with the people of Wildcard but it seems more likely that the others who already responded are right. He was messing with you or he was ill-informed. It is only a matter of time until Jeremy Stieglitz makes good on his word to not wipe legacy, which in Wildcard speak means wiping legacy, but without an announcement there's no way to know for sure if they're wiping this month. And before the replies roll in Stigetliz did promise that as long as he was at Wildcard there'd be no wipe but of course we all know that they are in fact wiping legacy. Just over time. As TranqRex pointed out, it doesn't matter how many people are actually playing on the server. Every legacy server is on death row. Get your fun in while you can.

ishootpaint Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If they were hurting for money they would release aberation ASAP to generate some cash flow and at the very least break even on time they have invested in it. From a business standpoint what your friend said makes zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodTear Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 A lot of servers (at least that I have seen) are causing their own demise due to fear. People are afraid their server will be cut next so they are going to a different server-thus dropping the server count on the original and almost ensuring that they will, in fact, be on the list of cuts.

The 11 number was a number they gave awhile back when talking about servers they closed. My guess is that they closed complete clusters (every server on a specific dedicated computer) if most servers were under the threshold on a specific box then all servers on that box were closed is what I'm thinking. And yea, SE got the worst of that wipe, 75% (148 of 200 or so) SE servers were wiped on pc. Also by active I think they meant at all times of the day/week that the server doesn't drop under that many players. Edit, My source for the 11 number: (check jens reply to this)https://www.reddit.com/r/playark/comments/6voo24/90_servers_closed/dm1zb89/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugodzilla Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If you guys really think theyll keep Legacy Servers alive, you are not really smart. i wouldnt be surprised when there are only unofficials in mid to end 2018. But thats only my subjective point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy servers will be shut down, if not October then defo January, no point playing on them, But they will make arberation for legacy until it's gone, maybe one or two servers for the whole of legacy.

SharpShooter1208 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Ive started on a legacy server, and Im already doing very well, I have a wyvern, 3 high level rexes, things like that. And I was told by someone today, that legacy servers are not going to be up much longer. Is it true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfSlabBacon Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yeah, they're being slowly killed off. I wouldn't waist and more time on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigz2k17 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 So I've seen lots on Facebook lately say legacy servers are going to be taken down at some point in the near future just want to know is this true normally I don't believe everything I read but more than a few people said it btw sry forgotten to add pc legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyroMancer Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 There was a player on our server and I suspect he was just trolling us. He was saying WC is planning to close more Legacy servers within a month(OCT/NOV). I'm rather skeptical of it as I checked the forums and news pages and can't find any mention on it. Of course the original closing was only a little over a weeks notice on which servers would be hit as I recall. So I figured I'd ask if anyone else had heard anything on this?

MadCow Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes. WC has repeatedly said that any legacy servers that fall into "very low use" will be repurposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerstuck Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 They also said they will be revising the numbers every few months. Now take that with the grain of salt you want, but Aberration release means more servers, which fits in their global plan to get rid of all legacy servers over time.
