Rules

  • No resource blocking structures near places with high amount of rare resources
  • No caging or force narco feeding of players for more than 30 minutes
  • Please don't use global chat for tribe related stuff
  • No cheating or exploiting the game bugs will be tolerated. All items or dinos gained through exploits will be killed with fire.
  • PvP with or against server admins is allowed and expected. Admins who are not servicing user support can be treated as regular players.
  • Inside raiding (using social engineering in order to get invited into some tribe with intention to destroy it) is not allowed and may result in cluster-wide ban.
  • Impersonation of administrators (pretending you are an admin when you are not) may result in instant cluster-wide ban.
  • Blocking access to artefacts and parts of map essential to access boss arena / end-game is prohibited.

Violation of rules will result in a warning. Repeated violation may result in temporary or permanent ban. Structures that violate the rules may be removed without warning.
Grieving of new players (repeated wipe / raid of new players) is not violation of rules, but is not advised. Hunt others if you wish to be hunted.

Philosophy of this server

We try to maintain high quality experience for all ARK players. Our servers are supposed to have maximum possible uptime and reliability. They are hosted on dedicated hardware in data centre in central EU. We try to keep the game as much vanilla as possible. Rules of the server are meant to be very permissive, with only few simple rules to follow. Admins guarantee that they will never use cheats to negatively affect the game or for anyone's benefit, not even their own. Admin commands are used only to fix various issues or bugs caused by game (stuck players, lost access to tribe by accidentally leaving it, dinos etc), these admins who are not providing support to anyone are not logged in as admins (no star in global chat) and should be considered regular players who can be freely killed or raided.

For support please use discord server.
