It is pretty empty, most of the maps are with the exception of Scorched Earth and Extinction, both have had a lot of play. There haven’t been a lot of us, so no matter what, the maps aren’t crowded at all. Ragnarok is a fantastic map though, and it’s HUGE.
There are a couple of bases and an outpost over near the Blue Obelisk, a base at the Castle of the Swamp, a base at the large bridge in Central Canyon, and some scattered outposts for various things. There are about 10 or so Stargates, and most of them are public, meaning even if you aren’t in the tribe, you can use one with a Stargate Remote.
If you need a stargate set up, let me know and I’ll come find you guys and help with that. I’m also breeding you both a Argentavis so you’ll have some additional starter flyers. You’ll need them, that map could take literal days to walk across.
Since it is an all inclusive map, there are areas of desert, similar to a mini Scorched Earth. There is also a wyvern crag area and additional islands where there are more. Speaking of islands, there are several small ones scattered around the overall large Ragnarok land mass. There are also many caves and some hidden areas that are great to build in.
It’s wide open, you can have a ton of fun on that map. Trip and I both hop over there semi-frequently, and Ragan has a base there as well for some resource gathering.
If I offered any advice on that map it would be to get away from the starter areas as soon as you can defend yourself a bit. Since the map is so large, necessary dinos are scattered around as well, so without exploration you can get stuck in a bit of a rut.
EDIT: I almost forgot. In regards to Stargates on the map, if you see any labeled "-something- cave or Artifact of the -whatever- be extremely careful jumping through those unless you know where you’re going. Some are in dungeons and can be right beside some nasty stuff.
