Greetings, everyone! Usually, it would be the time for us to announce the next PvP servers wipe, but this time we also have some important news for you!
Survey for the official PvP servers wipe interval
First of all, please participate in a quick public survey as we're trying to determine the best official PvP servers wipe interval for the next wipe—we could either keep it 4 weeks or switch to 3 weeks interval as many players are suggesting. Please vote here! (you will need to log in with a Google Account, it's required so each account could vote only once)
CryoSmall—solo PvP server
Now, regarding the community server CryoSmall—the owner of this long-standing and very much liked server has notified us that he would like to experiment with a new approach that would change the server to be specifically for solo play, allowing solo players to compete with each other without having to worry about being outnumbered. With the next wipe of this server (see the date below) this server will be switched into solo mode. As previously, this server is actively moderated to prevent any kind of alliances or cooperation between players to ensure fair play for everyone.
CryoFive—PvP server for groups of fives
In addition to the above mentioned change of focus of CryoSmall server, the administration of that server is also launching a completely new server called CryoFive which is designed to cater to small groups of players of up to five players maximum but will otherwise follow the same rules. This should be the perfect choice if you want to play with a few of your friends. We highly recommend anyone playing in a small group to try this new server. It will launch together with the official PvP servers wipe scheduled on August 14th!
Global PvP—>Clan Wars!
Finally, from the next wipe, the Official Global PvP server will be renamed to Official Global Clan Wars to make the purpose of this server more clear. This server is primarily intended for large groups of players to fight each other. Additionally, the group size limit will be also increased to 25 players (same as during the previous experiment in December 2019) while various access list limits are removed completely (i.e. you can add an unlimited number of people into your land claim and doors).
Additionally, for the next wipe, we're temporarily discontinuing Official America (North) PvP in favor of CryoFive, CryoSolo, and Clan Wars servers. This will consolidate most of the PvP audience on fewer servers while CryoFive and CryoSmall provide good ping for our players from North America and Europe!
Now that several global servers are catering to different types of preferences you can choose what works for you best:
- Playing on regional servers be it PvP or PvE
- Playing on CryoSmall designed for solo players
- Playing on CryoFive designed for small groups of up to five players and no alliances
- And finally, if you are a part of a large clan or want to join one—you can participate in epic battles on the Global Clan Wars server!
