    Additionally, we're introducing a wardrobe, consumables, and a dino store—with a chance to get a rare color for your dino! Also, a new item will be added to the weapon and armor stores: a limited use consumable Repair Kit, which can repair items on the go—one repair kit for weapons and one for each armor piece.

    Join Club ARK on July 31st to dodge, race, and parkour your way through our latest missions and enjoy these fantastic new features, and more!

    Nekatus, the prolific creator of Fjordur and Svartalfheim, has a new mythological map offering in the works: Astraeos!

    Immerse yourself in a world of majestic mountain ridges and marble-like cliffs, where white beaches meet a paradise of cherry blossoms in a full sakura biome. Prepare to face mythological enemies lurking in the shadows, including a fearsome miniboss, or venture into mysterious caves to encounter new, amazing adversaries. 

    Plus, gear up with new official custom cosmetic armor skins and get ready to embark on an epic journey through Astraeos and uncover its legendary secrets!

    The premium version of this vast world will be available later in the year, with a free test version slated for the coming months!

    THE CENTER SERVER TRANSFERS.png

    Transfers on The Center Official servers are now open! Players can now move items, creatures, and characters onto the map without restriction!

     

    Expire Servers Reminder.png  

    Expire Servers.jpg

    On April 8th, we deployed a new type of server across the network (for the various game types) that we refer to as "Expire" (which is what you can search for in the session filter). 

    These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on August 3rd. We're preemptively using our allocation for Aberration to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience The Center Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto The Center temporarily.

    Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on August 3rd, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period.

    Can we get news as to an estimate for when the votes will be coming back if at all? And if so, what map is next?

     

    An update ahead of time would be nice for us submitters so we can get what we want made & prepared for the next vote

    The ability to win Artifacts in Club Ark alone makes it 100% worth playing the minigames.

    I think they are planning to update more after they finish the UE 5.4 update to ASA. But I’m not too sure on that.

    I think a great way to remedy the Cosmo controversy is to add the Maiva to Abberation for free. It could live in the corners of the second layer (the bio-luminescent area) and be like an "adult" version of the Cosmo. Not necessarily the same creature, but related biologically. Please? :)

    I don't know when we would get an update on the next creature vote, but I do agree with you. We do need an update.

    I think that Valguero would be next, heck, I already made a submission a while back, here's a link:

    The last update has glitched my balloon axe and pick axe. I've also lost my shell bracelet skin, BBQ grill and cooler skins. The option to pause the summer bash event doesn't fix it either.

    Have I lost all my cosmetics because of you people?

    Grove Street Games Genesis Part 2 looks amazing, so excited for the mobile revamp based on it

    I bet they’re gonna make mobile and switch cross-play with each other. That would be really cool and it would populate servers more.

    If A.S.A. works similar to how A.S.E. works then if this is on a single player or an unofficial server you should be able to cheat spawn in the skins?

    If you are on an official server, then no luck.

    Thank God theyre putting the artifacts somewhere else other than caves blocked by alphas on every server. This is long overdue but hey better late than never.

    Absolutely massive change. Hopefully its not too grindy to get them.

    Repair kits sound pretty cool. I believe Conan exiles had something similar.

    Club Ark is actually shaping up to be a nice addition to the game.

    You stole someone else's work and locked it behind a paywall.

    Not really I can get way more artifacts in a shorter time by going in a cave.   Arts in club ark is just a filler.
