Tuning
Stock Palworld 1.0. No boosts at launch.
The legacy server's QoL rates were tuned for 0.x. Palworld 1.0 rebalances the whole game, so this world starts as Pocketpair shipped it.
Once players have real hours in 1.0, we take feedback in Discord and evaluate QoL changes from there. Changes are announced first and never involve a wipe.
One exception: invader raids stay off. They are the main source of the dedicated-server memory leak, and keeping them off is what makes one daily restart enough.
Schedule

| Daily · 04:30 CT | Server restart. In-game broadcasts at T−5 min, T−1 min, T−10 s. Save snapshot taken before stop. Back online within 60 s. |

| Maintenance | Auto-patched; redundant recovery on misbehavior |
Roadmap
One world, starting at 1.0. After doors open there are no wipes: bases, Pals, levels, all of it is permanent.
| Phase | What |
|---|---|
| July 9, 2026 | Doors open around 10:30 PM CT, as soon as Pocketpair pushes the 1.0 update. Everyone starts at level 1 on stock settings. |
| After launch | The server tracks Pocketpair's Steam patches as they ship. No reset on patch. QoL gets evaluated against player feedback (see Tuning). |
| Legacy | The original world, running since May 2026, stays online at palworldlegacy.jcbx.io, patched and supported for as long as people play it. |
