ARK Survival Evolved is nuking low pop servers in just one week

ARK Survival Evolved is gearing up for launch, finally, which means it’s now beginning to shelve some of the low pop servers across all platforms.

“These lower population servers make up about 33% of the existing online servers, with calculations based on sustained player-count as well as popularity of game mode,” Studio Wildcard says. “These servers will be taken offline and be re-purposed for new, fresh servers that will be put up on launch day. Any existing server that is not considered a low pop server and is not taken down will become a Legacy server. Legacy servers will remain on a separate cluster from the new cluster, which means you will not be able to transfer anything between Legacy servers and the new servers.”

Take a peek at the whole list of servers affected because you’ll definitely want the details on how to move if your home’s up for demolition, and do it quickly — you’ve got only a week to complete the whole process.

“To those affected by the move, we apologize greatly,” Wildcard writes, explaining that it doesn’t have server type allocation news to share just yet. “This moving process will not be easy, but it is a necessary step towards our official launch.”

The studio has further noted that Play Anywhere will not be ready for the Xbox One launch; the only good news is that “with the use of Xbox and Windows 10 PC Crossplay (UWP) you can host your own server without needing an extra copy of the game or a second console to do it.”
