In preparation for our Scorched Earth Ark server addition I've linked both the Ark "The Island" server and the Ark "Valhalla" server together so folks can transfer their characters, items, and dinos between them at will. To initiate a transfer just travel to an obelisk or a drop crate and click the "transmit ark data" option at the top of the interface.
Our Valhalla and The Island servers are fairly different from each other with one having a heavy amount of mods and the other pretty vanilla. To ease the transition between the two I have added the Structures + mod and the difficulty 8 mod to The Island server. This will allow players to transfer S+ items between the servers and prevent one server from gaining a significant wild dino level advantage over the other. Now both servers have a maximum wild dino level of 240.
I've removed the Better Beacons Lite mod and Offline Raid Protection 2 mods from The Island as well. Better Beacons Lite was outdated, unsupported, and easily replaced with a new config style drop crate list. ORP2 was initially added to The Island server to help with knowing who did what to a person's base so it wasn't a mystery when logging back on to find something broken/killed. Now that tribe logs can log base structures being destroyed, ORP2 is no longer necessary. Metal With Glass will remain since people have already built with it and I don't want to wipe away your hard work simply because we've upgraded to a new Structure mod.
The Island will remain 1 x experience with a max level of 93 (vanilla). You can transfer characters over level 93 from Valhalla to The Island and retain your levels from Valhalla. But if you mindwipe on The Island with a Valhalla character your levels
WILL BE REDUCED TO VANILLA LEVELS. To promote a specific advantage of using Valhalla I'm not changing the max character level or experience gain on The Island. I'm hoping by utilizing new content on the Island and higher experience rates on Valhalla that we can use the two maps interchangeably, that is what the server transfer is for after all.
