Skyfall is indeed changing our server back to PvXC. More and more people have been asking about making our server PvXC permanently. Our server was originally heavily pvp-centric and had to evolve away as hacks became prevalent. Now that we are secure and passworded, it makes sense to go bring more pvp options back online. Not only will it satisfy the vast majority of our current playerbase, but it will attract new players looking for well-run servers with pvp action. If you have an opinion, react to our poll about it in #server-suggestions.
Preparing Your Tribe for PvXC
There is much to do in preparation for such a change. We understand that and want to help tribes adapt as smoothly as possible. The following will help your transition tremendously.
Base Locations
On a PvXC server, base location is essential. You want the PvP clock to hit your location at a time that your members are most active ingame. Our server runs on an Eastern Standard Time clock, meaning at 9:00pm EST, the pvp zone will be in the central, left hand-side, or nine o’clock position daily. Plan your base locations accordingly.
You Can Hire Help
If you have even an Apprentice Donation package ($4) you can hire Mercenaries to help you demo your old base, farm resources, and build a defendable PvP base. The higher your donation package, the more options you have for hiring Mercenaries.
Deleting and Refitting PvE Bases
We have had several PvE days on our server so that players could get back 50% of their construction resources on structures they deleted. We will do it again for the convenience of our players.
Support for Inexperienced PvPers
If you are not pvp experienced, I strongly suggest you join a tribe that is or at least form an Alliance with one. Another option is living in the Skyfall Compound if you donate to our server.
