if anyone still plays this game, we (gynx) have purchased a server and are looking for some people to get on and test the stability. for now, we've set the rates at 5x exp, tame, and harvest, max wild dino is level 150 and max player level is 100. these may vary in the future, but these are the rates we've chosen based on past experiences with the game. we've been bringing the server up and down to fix some things and are finally ready to leave it up for as long as possible. gynx has the server set to reset every 24 hours at 5am gmt 0 but this may change in the future, we have currently been playing for nearly an hour on the server and experiencing no lag, desync, etc.
if anyone is interested in playing, you should be able to find the server by filtering "man mode" into the server list, should say "MAN MODE | PvPvE | 5x ALL". if you can't find it, go to steam - view - servers - add a server and try to connect to 151.80.99.159:27042. there is also a steam group if you click
here which is where we will post updates, important info, etc. and anyone else can post about mods or things they think the server would benefit from or ask questions, etc.
we are considering opening up a discord if the server gets any attention, but gynx and i are available if anyone needs help connecting to the server or whatever. anyone is free to join, everyone should come check it out.
hey also i figured it may have a good idea to create an irc channel for the game, feel free to join #ark if you'd prefer to talk on irc or something.
