CryoFall News

We would like to inform you that all the official PvP servers have been wiped today as scheduled and awaiting for you to join in a fresh round of PvP battles!

This time Global PvP and other official PvP servers have a smaller map—the same map which was successfully used on the CryoSmall community server for the last several months ("Duality" map created by SavingPrivatePyle, see the image below). You will have more fights, without the need to travel far looking for an opponent.

The faction size limit has been reduced to 15 members max (the map is not too big to allow bases for large teams).

Also, the CryoSmall North America community server was discontinued due to a low online number. We hope players will focus on the remaining servers, which will help to boost their online population.

After this weekend, please join Official CryoFall Discord and provide your feedback in the #pvp channel. We will consider adjusting server settings to ensure better gameplay for the next wipe!

We would like to remind you that all the official servers will have a scheduled wipe this Friday, May 13th.

[h3]Official PvP servers[/h3]
As you may know, all official PvP servers currently have accelerated 5X rates and wipe every Friday to ensure a level playing field and offer a fresh economy with each new round. It's a major event that brings many players to compete with each other, starting from a common point. On these fast-paced 5X servers, you can focus on fights and raids non-stop which is the most fun aspect of the gameplay in PvP. Recovering after getting raided is also much easier.

[h3]Official PvE servers—now wiping every 12 weeks[/h3]
Likewise, all official PvE servers will also have their regular wipe on the same day. Unlike the PvP servers, however, PvE servers have their regular scheduled wipes with longer intervals for relaxed and creative gameplay. This time we are aiming for 12 weeks cycle instead, previously PvE servers had 6 weeks cycle duration. 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.

[h3]Wipe time[/h3]
1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).
For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:

We would like to remind you that all the official servers will have a scheduled wipe this Friday, April 1st. No, no April fool jokes planned :)

[h3]Discontinued servers[/h3]
With this wipe, we will discontinue Asia PvP server in favor of other PvP servers.
Official South America servers are not discontinued, however, we had to change our hosting provider in São Paulo which may affect your ping and overall connection quality in a better or worst way depending on the international routing for your local ISP.

We would like to remind you that the official PvP servers will have the next round of fights starting with the scheduled wipe this Friday, March 11th.

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.

[h2]Settings for the official PvP servers[/h2]

1. 5X rate for resource gathering, crafting speed, skill XP, LP, slots capacity, items in radtowns, items from events, etc.
   
2. No need to unlock any technology—automatic unlock for everyone when the corresponding timegate is reached.
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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.
   
5. Faction size limit — 10 members max (except Global with up to 20 members per team).
   
6. Faction claims limit — 20 land claims max (two per level).
   
7. Bosses will appear every 4-5 hours after the Tier 4 timegate is reached.
   

[h2]Launch date and time[/h2]
11th March (this Friday), 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual).

For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have:
• 7 AM by Central US (CST, GMT-6 winter time)
• 2 PM by Central EU (CET, GMT+1 winter time)
• 16:00 by Russia/Moscow (GMT+3)
• 21:00 by China/Beijing (GMT+8)
• 10 AM by Argentina/Brazil (GMT-3)
• 10 PM by Japan and South Korea (GMT+9)

Please note that the official PvP server wipes will go on a weekly schedule—every Friday at the same time.

We're happy to announce the upcoming launch of the new official PvP server — Fast PvP.



Fast PvP server is the new experimental server focused on the PvP aspect and team play instead of resource hoarding and tech development. It will also 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 will also be much easier—hopefully, more players will stay and play, sustaining a healthy population.
