Ahoy Pathfinders!
Get ready to embark on a new adventure and explore the uncharted seas once again! This season, we tested several new modes of play on our smaller servers, and we've learned a lot from them. However, we know many of you are eager to get back to a larger map layout, and we're happy to oblige! We understand that you're all eager for news on what's coming next to ATLAS, and we promise to share that with you very soon.
The final day of the current season will be Wednesday, March 15th when we will be wiping all official servers for a fresh start. Servers will be going offline at 7AM PDT and will be back online around 12PM PDT. Unofficial servers will not need to wipe at this time.
Official Servers
We are returning to our larger map layout for our official PvP network. However, we're keeping the Xbox only server format for those who prefer it. As for the official PvE server, it will remain the same size but with the reintroduction of the different claim types for companies to secure land. This brings us down to three different official servers:
The Cobra’s Strike
- Crossplay
- 9x9 map size
- All quest content will be available
- One open world (no regions or portals)
- All claim types (claimable islands, claimable lawless, and unclaimable lawless)
The Whale’s Solitude
- Crossplay
- 6x6 map size
- All quest content will be available
- One open world (no regions or portals)
- All claim types (claimable islands, claimable lawless, and unclaimable lawless)
Emerald Coast
- Xbox players only (no PC)
- 3x3 map size
- Quest content (Power Stones etc.) will not be available
- One open world (no regions or portals)
- Claimable islands and unclaimable lawless only (no claimable lawless)
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,
- ATLAS Crew
