this is peak time for EU I think. official servers are hopeless. They really should launch more. After all that hype, they should have expected a flood of players. Although I guess they don't want to overexpand, since the average play time will no doubt decrease at some point, and private servers increase.

Ark downloads are allowed on that one though, which means folks could import cheated level 60 chars in - so if we start level 1 we would probably be woefully outgunned by people importing chars.

[Paul]

True.

And if we did do that I could import my single player char, hehe. He's at level 26, lots of fun things you can make at that level. Was running with hide armor and a bow, working on trying to get metal to make a pike.

Another option might be http://ark-servers.net/server/553/

It doesn't seem to lag for me right now, and has 20 people with 70 max slots. Based in UK. Hows your ping to that one?

I'd be up for either one. Or another one if anyone has suggestions.

So what's the plan? A Dwarvenly cave town as mentioned previously?
Or something else entirely?

edit: If caves are too much of a hassle, a nice town built on a high cliff or cliff-side might be equally as Dwarven.

edit2: We could also make a fortress on that island full of nice rock formations.

[Paul]

Max slot of 50 makes it over half full, but I can try it if you want

And you can import single player chars. That's one thing I've seen folks complain about, people cheating to 60 then importing in and opening some max level supply drops and murdering everyone.

I can't find either of those 2 on the steam browser... is there any trick? any way to search for a name?

[andrea]

ah. the full name is "[ENG/DK] Anuukiani 24/7 friendly no wipes".
quotation marks are important. I was looking by alphabetical order.

edit: I didn't quite realize how many of the thousand servers had 1 or 2 players in them. I get good ping ( 6) on this server, trying to connect

edit2: I am in! I am in! Name is Arkid

[Paul]

Just joined as Cian Kemp, steam name Paul.

By the way, I heard that after level 6 you can't get engram points, and what you have is not enough to unlock everything. so after the initial levels we should try to diversify our engram spending.

[Ultimuh]

Used same name as before.
But with a slightly different yet Dwarvenly build. (Less of a hunchback now.)

Server not showing up in my list.

[andrea]

are you using the in game browser or the steam browser?

[Folly]

in game browser...there's a steam browser?

[andrea]

open steam. on the top left, click view. From there, server.
filter to show ARK servers. as greatorder suggested, order by population and find the 3 pop range. You should find it.

[Folly]

Got it, thanks!
