Ok since this thread was posted initially us Prim Plus Players were excited Ced was making us feel recognized. We don't get much attention from Wildcard except for a couple old timers with some sentimental attachments from when it first went live. Then concern overwhelmed us with the thought of all our hard work getting wiped away.
So the regular blood sweat and tear Prim Plus people have been trying to come up with the best solution for us mainly since we are the ones being affected. We have had great discussion in discord etc.
How about this @ced?
How about you create your new servers that will work seamlessly and progress with the Ark story line. Then allow input from a representative which we would recommend since they would have our best interest on what parts to turn on and off. Just before the transition give us the ability to transfer tames/bloodlines to the new servers. The one issue that is hard for us Prim Plus players to let go is the bloodlines some have developed over the last couple years. It is extremely hard to breed and maintain consistent deep lines because its all hands on. We do not have refrigerators and tek feeders. Don't get me wrong we want it to be hard but we also want the reward of our much invested time and ingenuity. Again we have some very deep bloodlines from grueling breeding. We do not want to have to start lines all over. Now if we could have a time of say 60 days to transfer those special bloodlines to the new server/ cluster I believe that would be enough to get everyone on board and we can move forward.
I think this is fair and with a new faster loading, up to date, expanded story line , still true Prim Plus game play , set of servers some old timers would come back and new players could give it a try and hopefully they have as much fun as we do.
Thanks for your time ,
