Official servers wipe schedule and PvP server changes

[h2]PvE[/h2]
We would like to remind you that all the official PvE servers will have a scheduled wipe soon—this Friday, 16th January. The wipe interval for the official PvE servers is 12 weeks, making it ideal for relaxed and creative gameplay. Feel free to join any of the official PvE servers for a fresh round of economic and technological competition and race to reach the highest faction score on any of the regional PvE servers.

[h2]PvP wipe[/h2]
Official PvP servers currently have a 2-week wipe interval and the next wipe is scheduled for Friday, 23rd January. Enjoy a level playing field and compete with other players starting together from a common point.

Also this time, we are switching to a small-teams format on all official PvP servers. Faction size is limited to 2 players. Alliances are allowed—choose your allies carefully!

Unfortunately, the CryoSmall community servers are no longer actively maintained by the community and will be removed at the end of the current wipe cycle. As a result, CryoSmall EU will be replaced by the Global PvP server, and CryoSmall NA will be replaced by a new official North America PvP server launching on January 23rd. This server will mirror the configuration of Global PvP and the other official PvP servers:

• Small teams (2-player faction limit)
  
• Alliances allowed
  
• No moderation
  

Of course, allowing alliances and having no moderation does not make these official servers an exact replacement for CryoSmall. On the other hand, CryoSmall regularly suffered from unofficial alliances and moderation issues, as the community volunteers could not continuously monitor every player and were sometimes unable to properly resolve player reports. Given the limitations discussed above, this is the most practical solution we can provide with the new wipe.
