We're happy to announce the upcoming launch of the new official PvP server — [b]Fast PvP[/b]. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33475140/cc38c184aa73b5ee8402970f8ed63fced75e044a.jpg[/img] [b]Fast PvP[/b] server is the new experimental server focused on the PvP aspect and team play instead of resource hoarding and tech development. It will also make the game more accessible for new players and in general for players that cannot dedicate as much time regularly. You will need to spend much less time gathering the resources/build the base/craft equipment and [b]can focus on fights and raids[/b] non-stop which is the most fun aspect of the gameplay. Recovering after getting raided will also be much easier—hopefully, more players will stay and play, sustaining a healthy population. [h2]Settings for the new server[/h2] [olist] [*] [b]5X[/b] rate for resource gathering, crafting speed, skill XP, LP, slots capacity, items in radtowns, items from events, etc. [*] [b]No need to unlock any technology[/b]—automatic unlock for everyone when the corresponding timegate is reached. [*] Timegates—new tech tier is unlocked every 24 hours (starting from Tier 3, basic+specialized technology groups and nodes insides their trees). The only exception is the T3 basic tier which will be unlocked in 4 hours after the server launch. [*] [b]Weekly wipes[/b] (every Friday, usual time)—this server is super fast so resetting it regularly is essential. Otherwise, it would be impossible for new players to play here successfully just after a few days since the server launch. [*] Faction size limit — 20 members. [*] Faction claims limit — 20 land claims max (two per level). [*] Bosses will appear every 4-5 hours after the Tier 4 timegate is reached. [*] Location: Germany (same as the Global PvP server). Time-proved anti-DDoS protection is already deployed there. [/olist] [h2]Launch date and time[/h2] 25th February (this Friday), 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).
