Community Crunch 495: Pyranthos awaits you!

The dunes of Pyranthos are not getting any friendlier. Alongside the Deathworms you already know to fear, a new threat now prowls the sands: the Scorpion King and Queen. Massive and bloodthirsty, they are absolutely not something you want to stumble into unprepared.

The desert doesn’t reward carelessness, and Pyranthos is happy to remind you.

Deeper in Pyranthos, the caves hold something else entirely. The minotaur Minotarchos awaits new challengers, and while it doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks, its strength is worthy of its myth.

Those who bring it down will be greatly rewarded and one step closer to defeating the legendary Hydra. Consider it a test of raw endurance, and a warning that the ruins below are just as unforgiving as the sands above.

Pyranthos mega update arrives on Astraeos on February 25th. Prepare accordingly. You’ve been warned, Survivors.

Expire servers are temporary servers across the network that will eventually be removed, and you can find them by searching for

"Expire"

in the session filter.

These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on March 2nd. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily.

Please note that

these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on March 2nd

, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period.

This weekend, the Official Network will be receiving bonus rates! It will be active until Monday, February 23.

• PVP/PVE: 2x Harvesting, Taming, and Experience, and Breeding

• Small Tribes: 4.5x Harvesting, Taming, and Experience + 4x Breeding
