TMC Ark 2020

In anticipation of the forthcoming Genesis expansion and our ongoing efforts to improve the QoL here at TMC, the server cluster is going through a reshuffle and consolidation.

Cluster Changes...

Current

PVP Core Cluster with Rules
The Island Preserve
The Desert Safari (Scorched Earth)
The Lost Ark (Aberration)
The Cenozoic Exodus (Extinction)
Flight of the Valguero

PVP Free-for-All Stand-Alone
Anarchy Island

Future

PVP Core Cluster with Rules
The Island Preserve
The Lost Ark (Aberration)
TBD Genesis Server
Rotating Server (between Scorched Earth and Extinction) on 2-week extinction event cycle

PVP Free-for-All Stand-Alone
TBD Valguero

Looking Forward...

January 10, 2020:
  • The Cenozoic Exodus, The Desert Safari and Anarchy Island will be shifted to an extinction event taking place at the end of January.
January 31, 2020:
  • Rotating Server will come online with boosted dino levels and loot table multipliers.
  • Flight of the Valguero will become the PVP Free-for-All server.
  • All transfers onto Valguero from the regular cluster will be disabled.
  • Full transfers between Anarchy Island and Valguero will be enabled for a two-week period.
February 14, 2020:
  • Anarchy Island will be shut down.
  • One-way transfers off of Valguero back to the regular cluster will be re-enabled.
February 25, 2020:
  • Genesis Server will come online (hopefully).

Please Note...

If you get sick of the Free-for-All PVP server - you can take a one-way trip with your gear, tames and character to the regular cluster with rules.  This trip is not reversible - no exceptions will be made.

The Island and Aberration servers on the cluster will not be wiped going forward.  Depending on the success of Genesis, the map may become part of the Core Cluster.

It is likely that the PVP Free-for-All Server will be subject to a 3 or 4 month extinction event to allow for Ark "Seasons".
