How to deal with upcoming patch on unofficial?

[krazmuze 120]

New Tundra?   That should be easy just mix and match western and eastern tundra if you did not reserve blanks or have expansion grids available for it.  I highly doubt island swapping would work without wiping bases.

New Trenches?  That should hopefully fit alongside powerstone islands as a small underwater island feature.   Maybe alongside the grid where you have no islands, or maybe dual purpose central maw and put them there.    Biggest complaint is server is too small to have done the first end boss so why does it have to be 2nd end game?

ISO Blackwood?   Great they are restarting the ark style single server map modder program.  If you run all the various ark servers you will certainly want to run this.

Revamp of PVP/PVE with island claiming?    Our unofficial a few is a crew and few largest companies have a roster of a handful, with many people solo or couples.    The islands are too big for these crews - even if they have settings to lower the owner ship limits.    In general due to server limitations people have to share islands, and this has worked well with admins that enforce flag limits so that islands are shared.

But with the new patch they stated the old claim flags will be removed and you have to eventually replace them with island flags.    So I await the disaster where everyone starts complaining their base is decaying.  

So what are people going to do - adopt island claiming? 

Go lawless with 24d decay to match flag and keep admins busy with misbuilding behaviors from those that do not read the rules? 

Hope they keep old flag and add flag limits for admins to set?
