Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm...."
In a new developer blog on the CE site, the devs revealed a number of details about servers and mods. Funcom has partnered with Pingperfect that will host both the official game servers and the private servers that can be rented by players, a service that can be utilized immediately to reserve space for the game's launch at the end of the month.
Servers will be able to accommodate up to 70 players per server with the idea to increase that number at full release.
Funcom will be setting up official servers in the following categories: Purist, Relaxed, Hard Core, Role Playing, Experimental and Random. These servers will be wiped every 30-days.
Players can also set up private servers with admins able to modify and alter gameplay to suit their own particular wishes. Settings enable admins to determing PvP, sandstorms, what is lost on death, day/night cycle, health / stamina of players, resources, experience and resource respawn rates. Adjustments can be made on the fly as well.
Funcom will provide full mod support as well and will be available at the start of Early Access. A special Unreal Engine editor will be available for download that will allow a full suite of tools to create mods. The team has plans to reveal more in the near future.

It does not exactly tick the boxes I have when I decide upon a game, like the first person view is not my preferred view.
I love toying with character creation and play the whole dress them up kind of game.
And playerchoice is great, but that there looks a little intimidating.
But otherwise, this game really have some really interesting ideas and ways to give the players a way to design their own game.
Maybe a game for other developers to be inspired from, I hope it turns out great.
Too bad Joel said in the AMA they're deeply tied to Gabe so I'm on the fence currently with Exiles, will wait the full release and then I'll see.

But perhaps they watched the ESO PVP campaigns that launched as 90-day cycles... and were eventually reduced to 30 days...
ARK official servers don't wipe AFAIK, but that produces a whole new set of problems.
It is not Bill! Imagine a player joining the game in february. He'll have to join servers filled with players far ahead of him with better armor, weapons & bases that will make his life difficult. The early days on a server are crucial and it is important that servers don't get bloated with "alpha tribes" and therefore neglecting new players rendering those servers completely barren of players save for the biggest tribes that eventually will leave too due to low pop.
A Month of fun and experimenting is great and when it gets wiped you get to try something new and fresh again not to mention the frequent updates (hopefully they keep to that) that will come with will make the game better for it.
I'm cool with it as long as there is some sort of account progress you bring with you each round.

I have never played a survival game but i will this game. As of the 30 day wipes, will this just be early access or forever? Seems very short to me as well especially for somebody who doesnt log on everday and play. There are times i cant log on for a week so i am just worried about my progression as a player due to my limited play time vs MMOs, if my progression keeps getting wiped so fast.
Meanwhile, the 30 day wipe is short unless there's a mechanic to keep character progress intact and they're just wiping the landscape (player buildings/items).

I was under the impression from the gameplay videos released that 3rd person view was available. Is this not the case?

But it's a MMORPG, and this is a survival game which I have no experience with, so I'll assume this makes good sense to you.
Just won't be anything I'll play, since it appears to be mostly about quick "fun".
I play for long term progression.
