[PvPvE] FRESH WIPE Apr 8th 2016 @5AM EST - 24/7(US) Level 200 CAP for Players and ~400 for Dinos, x20 XP, x20 Tame, x10 Harvesting/Gathering, X5 EP (All Engrams Available for Learning), x2 Mating, x20 Egg Hatch Speed, x10 Baby Mature, Active Admins, Mods
The server currently supports level 150 for all players and ~330 for dinosaurs. There is 20 times XP gain, 20 times taming speed, 10 times gathering/resource/farm gain, the ability to learn ALL engrams (and with spare pts for future blueprints) and the server runs on a dedicated linux machine with a 1Gbit connection with 20Gbps DDoS protection (4M PPS DDoS mitigation).

We have active admins and are always supporting new players as well as providing them with startup items to help them out on their journey. The server has been growing exceedingly faster than we initially anticipated considering that we haven't done any sort of advertising up until now but would like to see it grow even further to properly stress test the hardware that we're paying quite a bit for. I have automatic updates and automatic restarts if a crash takes place (since we all know how unstable the linux server client is for now).

Update Jun/28/2015: The Linux server is currently stable after I made a workaround to fix the constant Linux crash bugs that exist. The server has been up with no crashes since I've applied the fix that I made. Have fun!

Update: Jul/3/2015: The server is now RANK #1 on ARKSERVERS.NET -- Congratulations to everyone who helped support the server by playing on it and achieving this in such a short time span! Currently there's people falsifying information by saying that we have a third server when WE DO NOT. If I decide to host a third server, I will let everyone know and post it here. All comments with server links and similar server names are FAKE UNLESS SPECIFIED HERE OR THE COMMUNITY GROUP!


In-Game Event(s):
Right now we currently have some of the best loot in the game scattered all over the world in large storage boxes. If you find a box, you'll surely be rewarded for the journey and dedication hunting these things down!


**PROOF OF SERVER COST FEES HERE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THINKING THAT DEDICATED SERVERS COST $35 A MONTH (facepalm)**

Auto-Save every 5 mins, down from 15(default) TamedDinoDamage reduced by 30% (this is to help keep balance for people stat stacking melee damage percentage) x2 Mating Interval x20 Egg Hatch Speed x10 Baby Mature Speed

Our server setup is as follows:
Server type: Dedicated (not virtual or hosted from an online gaming website) Server Location: Texas, USA Specs: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit (Linux) 12 physical cores (24 threads) 240 SSD with 550MB read/write 64GB of RAM clocked @ 2400MHz 1Gbit port/connection 20GBps of DDoS protection or up to 4M PPS DDoS mitigation
On average, we have 30-50 active players (this varies based on the time of course) and are looking for a few more solid dedicated players to join the ranks. Currently we do not allow ARK Downloads but we are open to possibly allowing it once a week on Friday's and/or Sunday's for new players. If ARK downloads are enabled and a player decides to download their character and any "hacked" characters are uploaded, this will result in them being deleted and the player being permanently banned/firewalled from the server.

We have a zero hacker policy and any attempts to do any sort of malicious activity is pretty self explanatory.

If you're interested in joining the server and getting the in-game hookups for your newly created character, feel free to join us at:

Primary server: steam://connect/192.169.80.202 URL: http://arkservers.net/server/192.169.80.202:27015


If you notice hackers or anything crazy/suspicious, feel free to contact an admin in-game or post the issue in this thread and it'll be addressed as soon as possible, if not immediately.

Good luck to everyone and have an awesome time in-game. Hope to see you soon!

Update: Server wipes will NOT be taking place unless the community strongly suggests it and votes for it.

I've been playing on this server for a bit now and so far I love it! The owner is very interactive with the chat and help us all out. It is just a great time!

There is nothing about pvp rules. Also should mention that you guys put loot to find on the map. Some people may dislike or like that knowledge

Safety Depips¬ 29 Jun, 2015 @ 2:12am 
The PvP rules are in the title. It's a PvPvE server.

Server uptime is 16 hours which is "record breaking" for any linux server client. My fix is working perfectly and the server is very stable. We've got a few more slots available before maxing out!

Safety Depips¬ 29 Jun, 2015 @ 7:09pm 
The server is currently full (been full for a while now). Maxing out @ 70 regular users and 10 whitelisted (80 players in total). Linux really needs a higher player cap like the Windows version does.

Has the difficullty scale been changed at all from default?
#8
Safety Depips¬ 29 Jun, 2015 @ 9:27pm 
The difficulty is 1 (300%) which is currently the max. Dinosaurs can spawn from level 1-100 (max dino level once tamed is level 200).

The max number of players has been increased to support up to 127 players. I just issued a restart so people can join (as well as refresh the game memory for stability).

Hi,
so I started on the server 2 days ago. And build myself into the South Central Cave. Today I come online and read, that blocking a cave is a reason for a ban and that I have been warned.

1. Nope, I haven't been warned. If it would have been mentioned from the beginning, than I would have taken another spot for my base. Now most good spots are already taken on the map.
2. The developers themself think that building into a cave is a valid gameplay on a pvp server.
3. There are no important ressources in this cave, that you can't get outside of it. Actually its even a lot harder to get anything in there with the current difficulty settings on the server. I already died like 4 times at the beginning of the cave.
4. If somebody would really want to visit the cave, I could support him while I am online. I built my stuff there, because it is a secure spot for a base and I don't want my ♥♥♥♥ to get destroyed. Not because I don't want other people to see the cave. Or block ressources.
5. There are people building like the great wall of china to secure giant parts of the island for themselves, and this isn't a problem but building in a cave is?

Blocking a cave is forbidden because it is used to obtain artifacts. If you block off a cave which provides artifacts, it's essentially griefing other players. The warning is when you join and read the MOTD (that's the considered warning). If you've spent time building inside of a cave and are blocking it, we can reimburse you for the loss. Just contact an admin in-game.

Would it be ok, if I change the layout of my base, so that people can still go in the cave and explore it? But still I'd have my base inside of the cave (at parts, where nothing is at).
Then I'd work on changing the layout of my base. But it will take some days, as I can't play that much during the week.

That's fine. You risk being raided though.

Safety Depips¬ 30 Jun, 2015 @ 7:43am 
The server will be updated to the latest version later today (assuming it comes out). Not immediately... as I'm sure there's going to be a lot of unknown bugs but hopefully it'll be patched in a couple of hours after the update goes live.

Ok, I just came online (was at work before). I assume that some admins just bombed all the gates that I placed there away. And also killed my bird in the process.
(A raider would have just destroyed the stonewalls or come from the top instead of destroying the metalgates. Also nothing was stolen.)

I think that was a very bad handling of the situation. You release a new rule on the server. And instead of giving the player the time to adapt to it, you just blow the whole stuff up that the player built. I already wrote here that I will give the other players entrance to the cave again, but I can't do this instantly. If I wouldn't have been online before work for 5 minutes, I wouldn't even know of this rule when you already blow everything up.

Even if you just wanted to give just quick access to the cave again, you could have just destroyed the walls on the outside:

Like this people would have been able to get in the cave. And the building would still be standing.

And if you think, that its natural that you can't build in a cave, and I would have to know that before. No thats just your opinion as an admin. There are tons of discussions about this, like this one here:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/346110/discussions/0/523890046881819381/?insideModal=1

From the devs side, it is an intended gameplay mechanism.

(Also why don't I get a message saying "XY killed your pet" when I come online on this server?)

Not happy with that at all.
