Cross ark

[ray1voster]

Hi I just wanted to know the difference between the normal official servers and the cross ark servers

[heroicidiot]

one crosses arks and one doesn't

[ray1voster]

But you can do that on normal servers as well so what’s the point?

People like not crossing arks

Meanings/terms I think is perhaps getting mixed?

Official servers (the paltry 840ish here on steam) are in some cases able to connect to each other and others are not depending on factors such as realm type(pvp pve) whether they're a total conversion(primitive plus) etc.

More often than not they're also just called Clusters.

So you just need to consider ones that offer cross server transfers in a cluster as being a subcategory within the official server realm of things.

Unofficial servers also can be clustered depending on whether a server owner has more than one server etc too and decides to make such a setup.

K that’s a bit confusing but ok

So you can go from cross serv 5 pvp to cross server 10 pve for example

No. Only servers in the same cluster and type can. So for example there might be an Island Map, SE and Aberration that are all pvp and clustered officially. You thus can only go to those within the cluster. Pve and pve do not cluster for obvious reasons related to pvp griefing.

Similarly, you wont see a Primitive plus server pve clustered with a non prim+ server.

Also you wont see Legacy servers clustered with Post 8/29/2017 official servers either.

K so cross arms are only another server cluster?

[KitsuneShiro]

Cross arks are isolated clusters. So if you join one, you can transfer within this cluster. People outside cannot transfer in and you cannot transfer out.

Oh kk
