Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How big will your map be?
A: We plan to have multiple 8k (high resolution) terrain sections. Seams will be hidden by the seabed. We do want to make it huge and still have some surprises up our sleeve yet about the size of this world however... definitely stay tuned.
Q: The sea seems shallow. Will the ocean be deep enough?
A: There will be large dropoffs in the corners of the map, and most of the sea will indeed be fairly shallow, to encourage building on sandbars and islands. This will hopefully increase real-estate and ease crowding on the map. We want players to get a good introduction to Ark's seas, and be able to "wade in" so to speak, to the greater challenges found in the dropoffs, sea-caves and trenches.
Q: Will this map be a Total Conversion?
A: No and Yes. The map itself will be standalone from a total conversion mode (if that gets built) that is intended to complement the plot and pvp aspects of the map.
