pvp Fields of Aaru Cluster - Balanced QoL Modded PvP / No Donations [New Wipe 4/2!]

[LucidLethargy]

🌌 The Fields of Aaru Server Cluster 🌌
Ultra reliable server cluster with time-tested rules, mechanics, and oversight.
This is a server for mature folks who don't want to sacrifice their jobs and/or sleep to protecting their bases at all hours.

A FULLY WIPED MAP is being released on April 2nd. This new map, Ragnarok, will be cut off from all items and dinos going into it for up to one month. This means everyone will be on an equal playing field on this map.

If anyone is worried about what happens after that point, then consider the fact that as of April 2024, zero players have unlocked tech so far.
This is still a very new cluster, and it is a great time to join.

As of just a few hours ago, I have announced that Ragnarok will be added to the cluster tomorrow, April 2nd!

This addition (like all of our new additions) is set up to benefit new players. All items and dinos will be prohibited from entering the new map for upwards of one month. The earliest this will be lifted is two weeks, but only if there is a unanimous consensus on the server to do so. Items and dinos can leave the server to the other three connected maps. This will be a one-way move until the "merge" time, however, so please be careful when considering this.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to pop into our Discord and ask!

Ragnarok, a brand new wiped map, is being added to the cluster in just a few minutes! This will be locked for four weeks so no items can come in from the rest of the cluster. This makes it a perfect time for new players to carve out a piece of the map, and compete on an even playing field with existing players.

As of today, no tribe has any tech whatsoever (still). So it's a great time to join any map!

The Ragnarok launch went perfectly! This map is still less than 24 hours old. Valguero and Aberration are great, but there weren't many good drops on those maps. We're now seeing some great ones on Rag!

I guess I should bump this, haha. We do very little advertising because the community we have is really great already.

Still, we do have a NEW MAP coming out soon: Crystal Isles. This may drop this weekend, at the earliest!

We have a NEW map that just went live less than two days ago. This map is COMPLETELY isolated from the rest of the cluster for at least two weeks. It's a fair playing field for any new players that want to check the cluster out.
