Ahoy Atlas Community! Welcome to Atlas Unbound. The first Unofficial, full 15x15 grid Atlas server (as far as we know!). Are you tired of unplayable ping? Tired of sailing the oceans far and wide in search of a claimable plot of land, only to realize that none exist? Did you get used to the 2.5x rates of the launch event and wish it was permanent? If so, give Atlas Unbound a shot! This post is an effort to gain a sense of interest for a privately hosted, full 15x15 grid, 2.5x rate Unofficial server. We are currently in the process of spinning up all of the necessary servers and configuring the maps and rates. We will likely move into testing in the coming weeks. Atlas Unbound aims to provide a more enjoyable experience than the official servers by having a much lower player cap, and a ton of quality of life improvements (meaning land will be more plentiful and ping will be lower). We estimate that our system will be capable of connecting at least ~17,000 players simultaneously, with significantly lower ping than on Official. Additionally, our team is coming up with some really cool tools to add on to the existing functionality of the game, including offline company communication, custom discord bots and much more. It's also important to mention that the servers will be region locked.

We are looking for talented people to join our ranks. From Web Designers, Moderators, to Mod Developers. If you feel like you could be a great part of this team please send your resume and/or portfolio to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Our servers are run completely off donations and patreons. We do this because we love gaming and communities to game with! Come check us out! See below for a list of servers that will be coming online in the next few weeks.

Server List:

The Atlas Unbound project aims to provide an unparalleled level of server performance, stability and support to a game we all love. Our team is dedicated to making sure that the user experience is as excellent as it possibly can be. All of our servers are privately hosted with enterprise-class equipment and a 1Gb/1Gb fiber line. With that mission statement in mind, take a look at the servers we plan host.

15x15 - RPPVP/RPPVE

That's right. We're hosting the full map, as it was intended. Quality server performance and tightly controlled access--US/EU/Oceanic only-- mean that the gaming experience compared to official is hands down better. Our full sized map can accommodate up to 16,875 simultaneous players and is made up of 225 servers in a cluster (one per grid). The majority of zones are PvP, however mixed throughout there are a few PvE zones intended to be used as player made trading hubs. The 15x15 server will feature 2.5x increased rates as well. These servers are going to be switched to Linux Server once stable, and are thus a work in progress.

4x4 - ONLINE AND PLAYABLE (RPPVP)

The 4x4 servers we host will be capable of handling up to 1200 players simultaneously, and are made up of 16 servers in a cluster (one per grid). The maps are custom made by our team, and are a blast to play on. All of our 4x4 servers will be set to 3x official rates and will be completely PvP. Time to live out those pirate fantasies on the high seas! Our 4x4s are also currently being used for us to test and develop custom APIs and mods.

2x2 - RPPVP

Our 2x2 servers will be PvP oriented with small player-bases. Tribes will be limited in size, so that fair play is a given. 3x official rates means that time is spent enjoying the game, rather than farming. The 2x2s will be capable of a maximum of 300 simultaneous players, and are made of a cluster of 4 servers (one per grid). These servers are also currently being used to test and develop custom APIs and mods.

1x2 - Custom Events

Finally we have our 1x2 event servers. These servers will only be live during special events that we put on, and will be specifically designed for large scale, 75v75 battles with a red vs blue mod enabled. The servers will be split into two grids, and rates will be massively increased to allow for fast paced, high energy PvP ocean battles! The maps are custom made for engaging game-play, and each event will have a new map. Every time we run one of these events, all of our 1x2 servers will be made live at once. Come join the fun and help build a unique gaming experience!

Looks like I need to do some reading on their server notes.

We launched at 1x rates, shortly thereafter we permanently increased to 2x --> so now the new base 1x rates are technically 2x, and on weekends we're running 2x (which means 4x what we launched with). Good luck with your server!
