[US Central] Primitive PVP Mesozoic Park

209.170.149.50:18275

Fellow ARKsters,

We are a group of crazy-nutty-fun people that love to play ARK and are looking for a few others to share our dedicated lovely world and our passion for ARK: Survival Evolved Primitive MOD, meaning no advanced/future items...i.e. Metal Walls, Guns, energy shields, etc. The ARK Devs have stated they will be adding in more primitive type melee weapons and siege warfare weapons in the near future. Catapults! Can’t wait! If you prefer the more "Medieval with Dino" feel then come join us. Game server will be hosting by Blue Fang Solutions 24/7.

Why did we decide to host a server and why should you join?

Server Mod - The Lost World. We really like the primitive mod! We want to hunt with spears and eat meat cooked over an open fire!

Latency, the official servers have higher latency and it becomes hard to play when everything is jumping around and lagging. We are hosting the server in the Central US.

Community, We want to build a community that works. And we do not want to over moderate the server. We would like to have the server feel just like an official server only with admin support and some slight tweaks. We would like to prevent overly toxic play styles but do not want to prevent robust PVP.

Land Rush! The server will open to all on 8/7/15. This will be a pristine new island for everyone to join and conquer new lands! Join, play and, grow at the start of a new server! The servers opening weekend will have double XP!

No Admin Abuse, we have played on unofficial servers and have run in to admins that abuse their powers. We will be taking a light touch to admins. There won't be very many with access to the admin commands at 3 or less. The other admins role will be to report and document problems and troublemakers. The server admins will then take appropriate actions.

Server Settings:

50% faster Dino Taming speed! Because eggs are not really an efficient solution. IF/When the eggs are “fixed” taming times will be reevaluated.

Server Difficulty 4.0

Hydration slightly adjusted to use water slower. (Hunger is Not changed)

Night is slightly shorter.

Days are slightly longer.

Cave blocking will be deterred with 8x damage to structures built near all caves.

No Character/Item/Dino uploads. (This is super exploitable and broken so its off)

Dinos are tougher. Improved damage and resistance to increase challenge.

Not Allowed
No excessive griefing. (For example: Tranq'ing someone and holding them hostage for 10 hours while playing Justin Bieber songs to them. Unless they deserve it!)
Light Raiding Only. No total base destruction. No blocking in someone's base with foundations. (You can brake in and steal items. But no excessive dumping of items just to troll them.)
No repeated killing of a player(s) nor their base(s). Own them then move on!
No racism, no Sexism, and absolutely no TOXIC players. No verbal harassment allowed. Role-playing is encouraged, but keep to the aforementioned. PvP Trash talk is OK but be aware that there is a line.
No excessive Offline raiding.

Allowed
Raiding. Preferably when the other side is online so you can actually PvP.
KOS. If you think it's a good idea to go around and kill everyone you see then I guess you can try it, just don't complain when people tranq you and put you in jail for 10 hours and make you listen to Justin Bieber.
Smack Talk. Yeah im talking to you!
PvP solutions to problems. If you have a problem with another player try to hash it out with PvP or some other in game way. There is nothing wrong with a little rivalry between ARKsters.

Banning Bans won't take place without being talked to first to get both sides of the story. Bans will be voted on by 3 Admins. Majority rules. In extreme cases a temporary ban will be used until a vote can take place. Don’t make us do this we rather play the game.
