    boy have i never read anything so wrong. The high pop servers are like 9 right now. About 40 servers consist of 0-1 pop lmao

    You are only seeing Steam players. Epic players don't show in those numbers.

    Why is it forbidden to build in caves? now all alpha tribes occupy a dark cave in which you can build, the rest also find buggest holes and build them up. only ordinary players and small tribes who are got raided every day in open areas are left behind, they also have to look for vulnerabilities to hide their base. Now the question is, why make life difficult for the players and make the servers empty? allow building in caves😬

    Im well aware of the Epic game accounts. Classic has a couple servers that peak 25 players during Na Early morning. At best it would add 2-3 to maybe like 4 or 5 servers. If you are actually playing classic right now you would know most bases consist of 3 player tribes with the exception of about three servers. Even those server are about 7 man tribes. Most of the bases left aren't even worth raiding. using autos. Servers 100% need a wipe. The high pop servers are the ones every newer player goes to which is rag. Its pretty boring

    Yeah idk man there is only about one or two dark caves built the larger tribes that would build on alpha or desert plat are already gone. Dark cave is a pretty bad spot to raided one tribe building it up a couple times. If they allowed cave building you would get raided regardless because the smaller tribes and solo players will have an offline timer.

    More GMs to actually handle tickets. hackers openly cheat and brag and sell their software on your servers they spam their tribe log into tribe chat and you cant track that, kinda pathetic but not surprising coming from your devs. Sure good job on banning their accounts but actually dev wiping their bases would help so they cannot come back so easy. This could be the greatest form of ark if you're willing to put in the work. 2 hacking tribes got dev wiped I know of, after the devs let the legit players die out. litterally let the hackers have free reign.
