The simulation is stretching to its limits, and on July 2nd, the boundaries fracture completely. With the official arrival of Genesis Ascended Part 1 and ARK Tides of Fortune, the world transforms into a massive, uncharted nautical frontier.
Survivors will soon trade solid ground for rolling waves and physics-driven waters, charting courses across vast oceans in search of buried fortunes, custom fleets built to clash in explosive naval warfare, and the kind of high-seas trouble that only Bob could insist is completely, unquestionably true.
For now, enjoy the calm before the tide rolls in. Stockpile your resources, rally your crew, and take one last look at the shore. The sea is calling, but keep an eye on the shifting clouds too; the ocean isn't the only place where legends are beginning to stir.

Official Classic servers will be transitioning to Conquest servers shortly after Genesis 1 is launched. Conquest focuses on large-scale PvP, with increased rates, and other changes listed below. There will be a 3 day transferring period from Classic servers to some of the Genesis 1 Conquest servers. The increased rates will allow tribes to set up and establish themselves quickly and enable them to rebuild after potential losses instead of being wiped completely.
The official Classic servers are open for PC, Xbox and, Playstation and will transition to Conquest servers on July 3rd at 4 PM PDT.
