Hello Expeditioners! We have updated the way our maps function for the patch that is releasing tonight. These changes will hopefully streamline matchmaking and help the game servers fill with more players. Make sure to join our Discord to get the latest updates!

We are removing newbie matchmaking to prevent the population from being split. New players and veteran players will now match together.

Solo Lost Island is now implemented. Groups who wish to play Lost Island may still do so.

• Freebooter Arena and Lost Island will always be available, but the rest of the maps and any new maps in the future, will now be included in a randomized map rotation system that refreshes every 7 hours. This will streamline the population and also create a sense of urgency since now you can only attempt specific quests on specific days. This will also allow us to continue adding new content without splitting the population each time. This system may be modified in the future as our population continues to grow.
  

Make sure to check out the full patch notes here:

• Added the Lost Island Solo Queue.
  
• The Forsaken Temple, the Hypogean Undercroft, the Ancient Caverns, and ALL FUTURE maps will now be available based on a rotation cycle. Every 7 hours the available map will change.
