In the survival MMO H1Z1 a fresh server wipe is happening today, and a new patch is coming.
Unusual: On a Saturday, the world of H1Z1 is ending today. Since 12:00 PM, the servers have been down. The maintenance is expected to last until approximately 2:30 PM. When the world comes back up, all progress will be gone; players will only have what is in their accounts – that is, special skins or items. The game effectively starts over.
So the naysayers were right: The last server wipe less than a month ago was due to the Steam promotion. New players should find a “fresh world,” not one that is already occupied. The “new” world from the end of November didn’t last long.
With today’s patch, the new “Convenience” value is added and also the three announced traps make their way into the game, which is still in early access. Additionally, the military base has been revised, and players can now allow teammates to interact differently with the base. The overall spawn rate of weapons and ammunition has been decreased.
A Christmas event is also still active: Special zombies leave “special gifts” in survival mode. In Battle Royale, these come through air drops.
