April 23rd Official Server Wipe
Howdy Outlaws,
We know you have been enjoying the world of Outlaws, and without you this game would not be where it is today. With that in mind, it’s high time we hit the restart button on Official Servers.
Tonight at 5PM Pacific we will be wiping all Official Servers. This will help immeasurably with stability, as well as reset progress on anyone who has exploited in the past. We will also be shutting down some servers to help keep each remaining server population at a healthy number. We will, of course, monitor and re-add servers as necessary.
Our goal is to make playing on Official Servers a positive experience. We understand that server wipes can be disruptive and endeavor to do so when the benefits outweigh the costs.
Thank you all for your support and understanding.
-The Outlaws of the Old West Community Team
