Why are the just 4 Main atlas servers?

 I would like to have a simple answer from the devs or the mods or anyone that can actually answer that question properly (meaning not telling my it is all about the money).

 

If you break it down you have 2 for each reagion split into 1 for each game mode. Then half the server (at least in eu pvp) is starter area (40+ shards).

In my opinion that is just not enough at least for pvp. So lets talk about that considering mainly the pvp server (i have no overview how the situation is on pve as i'm "playing" at eu pvp")

The size of the map even just with 12 shards as starter areas  does simply not support the current playerbase.

Furthermore adding more main servers would decrease the server load for each shard/main server, as well as the stress on the network infastructure,

 

So why are there still only 4 main servers and are more on the way?

 

always slots to join when i want to play.theres many slots in the zones spare.my only issue is i can't log in due to a bug,but when theres no bug i've never struggled due to servers being capped.not seen servers capped yet.

its not a waste because its not finished so what you own today is not what you will own in 2 years..

if on steam the only way i know of is to verify file integrity but i did it,pulled up and error,didnt seem to fix said error and was still on 4.0.so i'm in the same boat

The worse for me is the fact the devs/ community support are not even making us aware on time scales etc of when we can actually join a server? 

since the countdown timer delay and yesterday they have actually been communicating ALOT.join their discord,twitter,facebook,follow jat etc etc.lets not turn this in to 4 years of ARK whining again people.i gave them flak constantly during ARK but that was of years of playing.this is barely live and people are kicking off.it's just too early to be salty,yes the delays and the lack of communication at the beginning made me salty but i  came in to this knowing it's going to be  a pain broken etc because,well its a demo,a work in progress.also it's £19,if it was £60 i wouldn't of commited to it(not that £60 is a lot,just out of principle).take a deep break and thats coming from someone who's salty 80% of the time....

Hit the refund button.i've played ARK since early access and yes that games got bugs and its a joke but this has barely been live a few hours.we are here to play a buggy pile of crap and help the devs not play a fully polished retail game.get a grip and reread the early access page on steam...

ahoy there
