Important Notice! About our SurvivalWe're excited to let you know about some big changes to our server setup.
After a lot of thought and major improvements, we've decided to make our survival experience simpler by getting rid of the system that had multiple worlds. We're confident that we can still offer a great survival game without needing different worlds.
We've fixed the problem with losing data.A big plus of this new approach is that we've taken care of any issues with losing player data, like what's in your inventory or vaults. You can be sure that the progress you work hard for won't disappear when you move around now.
Also, this change has helped us fix any problems with item duplications, making sure everyone has a fair and fun time playing.
With the choice of going back to one server, we will need to keep monitoring the performance and tweak this to our liking upon release.
If the performance is a bit shaky at the start, do not worry, we will be keeping a close eye on the new survival to let as many players in to play with a good server performance.
