The Drex Drop - 7th Edition

The Drex Drop

Introduction:

Good afternoon survivors!

I’m wrapping up my trip and getting ready to head to the airport later this evening to make my way back home. It’s been a nice little reset, but I’m definitely ready to get back into the swing of things and catch up on everything happening across the cluster.

I know things have been a bit slower on my end this past week, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience while I’ve been away. Between server hiccups, events wrapping up, and everything else going on, there’s quite a bit to cover today.

So let’s take a look at everything that’s been happening this week across Drexonica.

Server News & Updates

Fjordur Update:

Unfortunately, Fjordur is still experiencing ongoing issues due to Nitrado. After waiting several days without a response, I made the decision to move forward without expecting a rollback.

Each day that passes generates a new save, which overwrites older data. Because of this, waiting any longer could have resulted in even more being lost.

If you lost items, dinos, or bases due to the rollback, please open a ticket under Admin Assistance → ASE Help.

When submitting your ticket:
• Provide as detailed a list as possible of what was lost
• If you do not know your specimen ID, you may put N/A or unknown

Please note:
• Mutated dinos cannot be replaced and will be substituted with non-mutated versions
• Bases cannot be fully restored, but materials will be provided to help rebuild
• If you lost your character, you will need to create a new one and we will reintegrate you into your tribe

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone working with us through this.


Nitrado Maintenance Notice:

Nitrado has announced scheduled maintenance across all regions from March 23rd through March 30th.

During this time you may experience:
• Brief service interruptions (typically 15–45 minutes)
• Longer wait times for installs or server actions

This may impact overall server stability during the week, so please keep that in mind if you notice anything unusual.

Survivor Tip of the Week

If something feels off after maintenance or updates, always give the server a little time before reporting. Many issues resolve themselves after restarts or stabilization periods.

Closing Message

It’s been a bit of a chaotic week between travel and server issues, but I really appreciate everyone sticking it out and working with us through everything. You all make running this community worth it, even on the more stressful days.

I’ll be back home shortly and diving back into everything, so expect things to pick back up quickly. Between the boosted rates, upcoming events, and everything else in the pipeline, there’s a lot to look forward to.

Thank you all again for being here and for continuing to make Drexonica what it is.

Until next time, survivors.
