Until then, I know that the Xbox server I've been on won't be wiped until the actual update day.
One it's an RP server, two there is an application (so to root out the trolls & people who want to watch the world burn), and three We Need More MAIDENS!
MidNightxWo1f is hosting the RP server. My sister and I are the only 2 females.
When primitive plus releases, then it'll be wiped, but until then you can try to get used to the RP if you are new to it, like me.
* as someone whose pc can't handle ark on it, I'm grateful that they have been working on the Xbox version as much as possible. I hope that it doesn't take longer than the 2 weeks, but if it does, then allow them to fix the bugs ahead of time. Maybe Q&A found some bugs that make the game unable to launch? Anyway, I am not going to complain - I'll help when I can, so other players don't fall out of the world if I find a glitch. Peace out.
