PvP squads, get ready!
This time we are having more than just a regular PvP wipe! Several great clans of CryoFall are ready to join this round for a massive and devastating battle of superiority! If you were hesitant to join some of the previous rounds on the Global PvP server fearing there might not be enough people—now is your chance.
Please note that the Global PvP server will use a relatively small community-created map which will ensure a high level of PvP engagement! The faction size limit for this round will be increased to 25 members, so call your friends! We will also adjust the server rates to ensure higher competition for oil and Li deposits (controlling them will also provide much more faction score points), among other minor changes.
In addition to the Global PvP server, all other official PvP servers will also have their usual scheduled wipe (every second Friday).
