This wipe we've decided to update all the official PvP servers (Asia, China, Global, and South America) to use the server settings from the experimental Fast PvP-5X server. It will 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 can focus on fights and raids non-stop which is the most fun aspect of the gameplay. Recovering after getting raided is also much easier.
As the Global server will copy Fast PvP-5X server settings, the experimental server is no longer useful and will be removed.
Settings for the official PvP servers
[olist]
[*] 5X rate for resource gathering, crafting speed, skill XP, LP, slots capacity, items in radtowns, items from events, etc.
[*] No need to unlock any technology—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.
[*] Weekly wipes (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 — 10 members max (except Global with up to 20 members per team).
[*] Faction claims limit — 20 land claims max (two per level).
[*] Bosses will appear every 4-5 hours after the Tier 4 timegate is reached.
