General Server Information

- (In the future these players will also be able to restart the server and/or run updates.)
- Server Owner Tribe = Tribe of Gointerface the Mighty

- (We will update it as quickly as we can for Major Updates)
- In the event of a server issue email logon.mlw@gmail.com
Unplanned PVP, base raiding and/or tamed dino killing is frowned upon. Most of our players are friends/family and we are mostly a PVE community. We could turn PVE on and only switch to PVP for events, but restarting the server causes downtime for our players. We want to avoid downtime as much as possible. PVP is enabled because we plan to do events such as an arena, planned conflicts, duels, tribe battles and the like. We have plans to build an actual arena , or mark off PVP areas where PVP is open season 24x7 with something like a loot chest, and have weekly events for in-game prizes.
We plan to add forums, videos, screenshots, and other content to the site.
A note on PVP
- We allow PVP on the server, but most of our players are PVE orientated. If you want to participate in PVP you need to be sure that the other player is also willing to participate.
- You may defend yourself if attacked.
- Soon we hope to have a forum in place so that players can easily communicate with one another and plan events.
- We also plan to host server wide PVP events but players may choose to opt out, and this must be respected by the other players
- We will be setting up designated PVP areas such as arenas where all bets are off if you enter the marked area.
Bannable Offenses
- Hacking
- Botting
- Blocking access to resource spawns
- PVP against unwilling targets and / or Griefing
- Raiding Bases
- Destroying other players structures
- Purposely Killing other players tamed Dinos
- Killing Dinos players are trying to tame
- Imprisoning Players
- Excessive use of foul language in chat.
- What counts as excessive is up to the admin that chooses to speak to you about it
- You will get a warning and an opportunity to stop before a ban is enacted
- Sexual or racial harassment
What can you expect from the Admin Team?
- We all work full time and have family. The game is important to us, but family comes first. Do not be alarmed if it takes a couple hours for us to address server issues and / or updates.
- Scheduled Updates at 8:30AM Est on most days.
- Major Updates applied as soon as an Admin can get away from work/family.
- Questions and Concerns will be answered to the best of our ability and we will try very hard to be clear and easy to understand.
- You will have the chance to contest a Ban by emailing logon.mlw@gmail.com It may take up to 24 hours for us to reply, but we will try our best to respond as quickly as work allows.
- We can roll back the server. So far this has only been done once due to a bad patch and we would like to keep it that way. It is the consensus of the Admin team that Rollback is a very bad idea for a server admin to propose outside of extreme circumstances.
*Note* Some of our wives play. Griefing them and killing their Dinos is considered an extreme situation as it may lead to an Admin sleeping on the Couch. JUST DON’T DO IT!!
- Server wipes will only be performed if it is made necessary by a game update. We will do whatever we can to avoid such a scenario but the game is still Early Access so the danger does exist.
What Kind of Community are we?
- Age range of our core tribe is 25-40.
- We do have children, but most do not play Ark.
- Two of our Server Admins work in IT for a living and the server is a hobby that gets everyone together.
- We tend to focus on one game at a time, but we have plans to host other options in the future. IE: 7 days to die
- Everyone is laid back and friendly. We do not fuss much over bad language unless the children are watching us play. Then we will ask everyone to chill.
- We generally communicate using TeamSpeak or in game text chat.
