They have rewards points for playing on their servers and voting rewards also Starter Kit with a Bear and tools.
When I need a change of pace and want to hit the open seas or get that ich to build something or want to find cool animals to tame and breed, I will play Atlas
If you own the game already then pop over to InfinitiSquadron PVE server and say Hi and give an unofficial server a try, some friendly players here.
I find the Official server is overrun with pillar spam and just to laggy.
We do NOT have an official OTG chapter on this server just a few OTG members that have played together in other games over the years.
InfinitiSquadron Atlas PvE Server has just announced they will be wiping on Nov 1st 2024 and going to 6 month seasons and a 5x5 Map
If you liked playing Atlas and are looking for a descent server since official has been offline give InfinitiSquadron Unofficial Server a try.
Lots of creature choices to Tame and breed, Vanilla tames and Modded Tames brought over from Ark.
A few of my favorites is the Razorclaw and Sloth for combat and nice harvesters, Pelican the only non-VIP flyer on his server.
There is a Market Island for you to set up a shop and sell to other players.
And owning a Shop is free to all players
Also Every 2 weeks is a Market Day event where you can join in the games and Raffle to win Tames and a Grand Prize from the server owner “Infiniti”
If you do come and test out the server 1st tip find an island that has a Hind {female deer} and chickens.
Tame a Hind and female chicken using berries, the chickens to lay eggs, you may ask, Why?
The Hind will make Eggnog that fills your vitamins and water supplies.
You will need to put eggs in the Hinds inventory and hit E on the egg to force feed the hind a eggs and she will make Eggnog for you.
Infiniti added a new tame to the server a couple weeks ago and it was a Giant Ant, and its used to gather Thatch.
I play a few hours a week and I really like owning my own island where I can build a home and tame all types of creatures.
