Ahoy Pathfinders!
As we continue to develop ATLAS, we are taking the opportunity to test out new server configurations before we return to a larger world map. This season, our PvP servers have been designed with shorter and more focused sessions of PvP gameplay in mind. We are now introducing a new server with a much more limited company size setting. This will allow players to enjoy the thrill of PvP with smaller groups without the pressure of larger companies opposing them.
We recognize that Xbox players sometimes feel disadvantaged compared to PC players, and we are therefore launching a new server that is exclusive to Xbox users. For those who prefer to play with their PC-using friends, all other servers will remain cross-play enabled.
To incorporate these new ruleset servers, we will be repurposing three of our PvP servers with lower population counts:
- [NA][PvP] Ivory Shores
- [NA][PvP] Seagull’s Beak
- [NA][PvP] Stingray Bay
Ivory Shores, Seagull’s Beak, and Stingray Bay servers will be taken offline to wipe on Monday, January 30th around 9:00 AM PST. The new servers will be available on Wednesday, February 1st around 12:00 PM PST with the New Year Patch mentioned previously in this post.
New Servers
Three freshly wiped 3x3 Official PvP servers will be opening with a brand new map layout.
Variant 5 Information:
- Mixture of Tropical, Desert, Temperate, Polar and Equatorial biomes.
- One home server which includes a lawless Freeport island.
- One grid containing a Golden Age Ruin island and a Trench (lawless!).
List of New Servers:
[NA][PvP] Emerald Shores
- Xbox only
[NA][PvP] Seagull’s Beak
- Company size limit: 10
- No alliances
[NA][PvP] Stingray Bay
- Standard PvP
Final Note
Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support! :)
Happy Sailing,
