That said:

1) WildCard NEVER launches on time.

2) The last 3 times a mod map was made to an official map, it was a buggy mess for weeks.

3) ISO Crystal Isles is notorious as a mod map for requiring constant reboots for a memory leak error.

4) WildCard is notorious for removing things they don't like about a map when making it official.

5) WildCard is also VERY well known for botching an initial launch.

6) Until WildCard releases the new map on steam, host providers can't "pre-load" shit, but as soon as ARKservers has it available it'll be in your server drop down.

7) If history has proven anything with WildCard this will be buggy. I for one won't be testing ISO Crystal Isles Official until July if that's any indication on how these normally go.

I feel since they delayed it already maybe this time they will hit their mark?

Also do you think they would have fixed the memory leaks given the time they have had?

So Steam is updating and Crystal Isles is finally downloading... does anyone know how long before servers will be available for the map? I have never tried to buy a server on launch day before! This is exciting but I hate waiting! lol

" Unofficials can host the map themselves using the following map name: CrystalIsles

Protip: Adjust your map filter to CrystalIsles to find them quicker! "

I am not seeing Crystal Isles in the map drop down for Arkservers.io, I know that other hosts have it up in their map selection from some of the other servers I manage. Does anyone have Crystal Isles in the Server Map drop down yet?

Negative, I think the staff are busy with the massive server crash that happened after the update. Sure it won't take long.

I just looked, available now

It is showing up now for those that are curious.

Nice, thanks!

All servers working again although one got reset to day 1 but backup file fixed that. Awaiting Crystal Isles Server to be setup now
