New maps?

Two thoughts of thinking.

1: Crytal isles, map is large with a lot of areas to explore and artifacts to find, the dino collection is wide with new wyvern variants avaliable However the map size and server requiments does put a bit of hesitation on my part to impliment.

2: Caballus Custom map - The Equestrian land.  after research into this map and can see an active dev team with their own discord and wiki for map info and understanding,  at current the map is 98% complete but to be honest its more 92-95% as when it comes to ark we can all agree that pubs persist no matter how hard you look.  some features of this map is the large rolling fields and intricate areas that provide users who use ground tames a more immersive expirience making traversing by ground actually worth the experience rather than just soul balling your tames and flying over on your flyer of choice. i have asked about map size and will reply when i know the full info.

I do agree with Sabina with Extinction, I miss manas they best dino big peepee

The fact rock drakes were not mentioned as best dino is a hate crime 😂

Extinction is on my list as a definite new map, as it has a lot to offer. Currently looking at Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Genesis 2 and Scorched Earth as possibilities on top of this.

I think we all know a Wyvern with 150%+ movement speed is the best dino in the game

Crystal Isles does offer the Griffin trench or whatever it’s called which from my experience is better than Ragnarok for high level Griffins. 

We do have the capability to simultaneously add all the maps that I outlined above to the cluster, so 5 additional maps . Scorched Earth is on the list as it’s a map that I want to play and we have the hardware to support it. 

All good, I've donated an entire server box so that we can expand the Ark cluster rather significantly

Crystal Isles, Extinction, Genesis 2, and Lost Island are now live. We’ll be monitoring the server usage and look at swapping out one of the maps when Fjordur is released if usage is low. Planning on introducing Scorched Earth within the next couple of weeks. 

Update on this, we won't be implementing a Scorched Earth server now as we've decided to use the server resources for our other servers as we feel the ark cluster is big enough for what we need right now.
