Just drop em and on wipe try making either the Center on Ragnarok into a scrub map. PVE is dead now and into the future and for the very few that do want it, your PVPVE white list server gives it to them tweaked perfectly.
need to step outside the bubble Kiff!
- the games don't cost me any $ to run apart from hardware rental costs, so having 1 map or 100 wont make a difference.
- i prefer to have a map out there that people know will remain up, not close down when no ones using them... shows the community and server are stable and aren't dependant on player numbers.
- PvE server has a few users, yes, but same with the PvP and i have noticed the whitelisted server pop has even diminished... this i believe is due to new game releases.
- ARK is old... been around for 3 years... hasn't even been released as retail yet... most players have burned out and moved on
- People waiting for retail release; with the retail release, mods shouldn't need to be updated as much due to core changes... and majority of bugs/exploits fixed so people can play properly
- I run other games, feel free to play ON THE SAME SERVER AS ARK... check out
http://www.gamingalliance.com.au .. think of a server i should host, let me know.
at this stage, the server wont be wiped.. players will keep everything and hopefully the PvP'ers reduce their affect on new players, otherwise they will be playing on a dead server, gotta nurture those noobs into something challenging.
