Hey guys

I am planning on starting a new ARK server. I am waiting for GameServers to have an available Joburg server and will then open it.

I need input from the community as to what you guys would like from the server. It will be a "Gateway" server, meaning that it will include The Island AND Scorched Earth. I am not sure if this will be covered by GameServers, but I will figure it out.

What I need from the community is what kind of multipliers you would like.

I honestly want it to be a difficult server. Difficulty of wild dinos at 400%, which means the highest level of dino in the wild is 120, and a maximum of a 3x multiplier. This is not what I am going to do,it is what I like personally.

That's just my idea, but I want to do what the community would like. I just want it to be difficult and not the type of server that allows you to stare at a dino and then its tamed (sarcasm).

I think I would like it to be PvPvE. I will set it so that structures can't be damaged when someone is offline, but, No MODs. Non negotiable.

Overall, I want a gruelingly difficult server. No one should be discouraged though. It's the most rewarding thing when you get things done and you spend 18 hours looking for a level 120 Rex and spending 8 hours taming it XD This server is meant for EVERYONE, vets and newbies alike.

I want this server to have NO WIPES. Ever. Because it crushes me when you work so hard and the server wipes. To prevent lag and such, I would like to have a rule where if people don't log in for a certain amount of time (maybe after a week), their presence will be erased, i.e base and dinos destroyed. Of course, if you are away for a long time but plan to come back, I will make my contact details available so that it can be relayed to admins that your base is not to be touched.

Overall, I need your input badly I also need some admins Let me know what you think, the tiniest of comments will help me.

Things to take away from the post:
  • New ARK Server
  • Johannesburg Based
  • PvPvE
  • No MODs
  • A Gateway Server [The Island and Scorched Earth]
  • Difficult but meant for EVERYONE
  • Input needed in regards to multipliers
  • No wiping, EVER
