Small Tribe Cross Ark? Yeah I am not really onboard with that idea....if I wanted to play on CrossArk server I would have played on a CrossArk server.
Part of what makes the small tribe servers fun is the ability to transfer...someone already built in the spot I wanted in Center, no worries, there are others servers I can check out. Tribe took over most of Abb, no problem, there are others. Plus it gives the bigger tribes more competition. Really all this does is limit peoples options, hurts the 1 and 2 man tribes, and makes it easier for the 6 man tribes to rule uncontested.
6 people on dragons and griffins would have a hard time searching 48 servers looking for upcoming threats to them, and would meet some stiff competition. 6 people on dragons and griffins could easily search 8 servers and wipe out anyone who is growing to big. This move will probably kill what seems like your best idea to date, its basically right back to the regular official servers.
Please reconsider changing the existing servers, if you are instant on having cross ark small tribe, add another 16 or so servers and make two new clusters and see, don't change the servers that already exist. That way the people who want that can transfer over, and those of us who don't want it aren't forced into it.
PS, I have a base on Center, The Island, and SC....guess what, they aren't going to be in the same cluster. So I'm forced to move or I'm going to get dev wiped in two weeks....I know its only been a few hours (since I read this at least) so maybe once I get used to it I'll change my mind, but I don't even want to play now. raptor it, Wildcard if you are going to wipe my bases and kill my tames so be it, but I've put hours into building up and I don't have any desire to do it again because of a dev wipe. My only regret is getting the season pass with the current sale, looks like you get my money anyways.
It is too late Wildcard, you can't make this change a month into it, I know I am not the only person who is facing a forced move or a dev wipe just because we picked the wrong server. This also is REALLY going to hurt any future server types you try to make, because now people aren't going to trust you. The next specialty server you create why would I pump my time into it just so you can do this again?
