TheIllestPickle Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Host Xbox GT: ReeedRobinYummm Admin GT's: BigEmpty (host) + TheIllestPickle (me) ----- We're going to try our hand at a new approach to a past server we've done. It will be an extremely light RP, heavily PvP focused server with 3 major factions (red, blue, green). Players will pick their faction and do what they can to make their respective kingdom the strongest. Each faction will have its own ruler that makes the rules for their kingdom. That's the basic premise. Details and territories below. The server will open to the public in a few hours. ----- Server Information: • Offline PvP is disabled, which means your stuff is safe while you're entire tribe is offline. If you're caught logging off in order to defend yourself from being raided, you will be punished however. This ruins the spirit of PvP. • Players and dinos are slightly boosted. Breeding and crop growth is heavily boosted. For a complete list of server stats, look at the host GT's recent captures. • Rockets, turrets and many metal structures were turned off. Structure resistance and turret damage were buffed because of this. Tactical PvP and dino usage is encouraged in terms of raiding. • BERRYBUSH SEEDS will be the currency. All new players will receive 200 (please tell an admin when you're ready to claim it). They can also be gained through events and PvP. Turning in illegal items (rockets/launchers/metal blueprints/etc) and/or troll players will also yield you some extra currency. • Kings of their respective territory (red/blue/green) aren't decided by admins. They can either be decided as a community or become one by force. They can impose any rules they want while they are ruler. • Every kingdom will have an admin in order to make things fair. Admin logging will be turned on. Blue admin is BigEmpty, I will be green's (I'll also be hosting events and monitoring other admin responsibilities). Red is TBA. ----- Rules: (punishment: 1st offense - Warning, 2nd offense - Dino Wipe, 3rd offense - Complete Tribe Wipe, 4th offense - Ban.) Rules 1-3 are specific to kingdom in-fighting and don't apply to kingdom vs. kingdom fighting. 1. Admins aren't in control of the rules that the rulers of your kingdoms impose. If they demand you give them tribute in the form of t-rexes every day or risk being wiped, you gotta do it. If you don't want to, then you gotta either move, seek outside help, or rally other tribes from your territory to dethrone the ruler. 2. In order to dethrone your own ruler, you must tell them of your intentions beforehand. You must also be in a tribe independent of theirs (can't alliance them either). Insiding them will result in a ban. Pretending to be their ally and then raiding them will also be a bannable offense. ALWAYS MAKE YOUR INTENTIONS CLEAR. Make allies in secret and when you think you're ready, then announce your plan to dethrone your kingdoms ruler. 3. Rulers, you may not go around wiping anyone in your kingdom you find a threat or that disobeys you. If someone in your kingdom disobeys your rules, give them at least 1 hour before punishing them. This 1 hour grace period must be made clear to at least one person in the tribe, preferably an admin or founder of that tribe. If an admin or founder of the tribe is not present, then tell a basic member of that tribe and give them 3 hours grace period. 4. PvP among kingdoms is pretty lenient. Feel free to raid one another as you please, unless your leaders specifically tell you not to. Being caught in another kingdoms territory is punishable however the other leader seems fit, so asking permission might be the best idea... or just be stealthy. Yes, this even applies to caves, resource and dino spawns. Want to access the cave in green kingdom? Ask the green ruler what you gotta do/trade in order to do that. 5. Wyvern spawns are not owned by any 1 kingdom. Anyone is allowed there. 6. Red Kingdom tribes can only have Fire Wyverns. Blue Kingdom tribes may only have Lightning Wyverns. Green Kingdom tribes may only have Poison Wyverns. 7. You can trade in wyverns for one's that match your kingdom. For instance, if you steal a fire wyvern egg, but are part of green kingdom, ask an admin to give you a similarly leveled wyvern of your kingdoms type in exchange (you must raise it to full maturity and have put 0 levels into its stats otherwise it's void and you just end up having to kill the wyvern you just put time into raising). 8. Using items/weapons that are banned is a violation of the rules. Turn them in for a reward. 9. If you want to be a neutral player that is unaligned to any one kingdom, you must build around the 50/50 mark of the map. You may not own wyverns, but can own golems. Neutral players may not raid the three main kingdoms. They can run shops, breed + sell dinos, or perform other oddjobs including being assassin's/merc's for hire (if you want to do this talk to me first for rules). 10. Visiting a neutral tribe is neutral ground. This means that you can not kill players from other factions that are also there. Neutral tribes should also not be raided by main kingdoms, but can be raided by other neutral tribes. 11. Raiding and PvP is 100% not allowed during server events or other admin approved time periods, and grace period persist for 30 minutes after the event. Doing so during this time will result in punishment. 12. No overkill. This means no killing passive tames (tames set on passive that can't fight back) or completely wiping a base. If you blast your way in, grab what you need and leave through the same exit unless you can't for some reason. The only exception to passive killing is if they completely surround their base in passive tames, making it impossible to raid them without killing a couple tames. If this is the case, kill the bare minimum of their passive tames. 13. Admins will do their best to fulfill all requests... don't demand things to be done immediately. It also helps if you come to them instead of them having to find you. Going into another kingdoms territory to meet with an admin gives you immunity from being killed by other players as long as you're quick and to the point. 14. If you witness someone break the rules, SCREENSHOT or CAPTURE A VIDEO and send it to an admin in order to get that person punished. We need concrete proof before dishing out punishment. If getting proof is impossible somehow, try to get other players to be your allibi. 15. Join and check the Xbox club, "Ark Kingdoms PvP" in order to stay updated. Check it DAILY! If you have a question about an event, updated rules, or any new happenings in the server, check the club first. It's updated often and I don't have time to repeat what's in the club 15x over Ark chat. Please! Check! The! Club! First! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is that we can't raise wyverns and stuff on the island and we wanted that to be an integral part of the new server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budropolus Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I love this idea and details you guys have come up with! I'm already associated with running a different server and moderately involved and wouldn't be able to devote time to two servers, otherwise I'd be all in to this one. Just wanted to bump it and give a shout out for you guys.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
