BRAND NEW RAGNAROK, ABERRATION & ISLAND SERVER 24/7

These servers will be run from Nitrado (Ragnarok has 32 slots * The Island has 20 slots * Aberration has 32 slots, Increasing the cap that best fits the servers needs), and will be up 24/7.

We want to build a strong community where people can coincide together and enjoy PVP  raiding without feeling like you lost all of your hard work but instead had fun. We heavily encourage trading amongst other tribes and working together, but we also understand not everyone gets along which is perfectly fine, so we just ask; follow the rules and don't be a sausage. 

 

Arks: The Island * Ragnarok * Aberration

Platform: Xbox One

Host Xbox Live Account: bloodvoodoo 

      Hello and Welcome All :Jerbhi:

     Tired of the hassles and heartbreak on official servers? All of your hard earned hours of taming/building/work just to be trolled or grieved? Trust me, I know your pain all too well... but look no further friends! Join the ABS Community today! I've been a server host for Ark for almost 2 years. In the past, the server was hosted on an Xbox One. These 3 brand new servers will be hosted from Nitrado. Server lag and crashes should be a thing of the past now. All of the servers ARE clustered. For those who don’t know a cluster server is, it means that you will be able to transfer dinos, items, and characters freely between maps, but only between our three servers which will be linked to one another.

 

Why and how can I join the server?

     Joining the server will be pretty simple. Search for "ABS: Ragnarok" or "ABS: The Island" or "ABS: Aberration". Make sure you are searching under the correct session filter. Single player or whole tribes are welcome! Spread the word. 

     A few quick reasons why to join:

  • 24/7
  • Friendly and helpful community on the server and forum
  • Survivors from all regions of the world are welcome!
  • Boosted stats! 
  • EVENTS!
  • Server store and district
  • Friendly server admins! 
  • Base max character lvl is 150 (165 with ascension)
  • Wild dino lvl is 225 on Ragnarok, lvl 300 on the Island and Scorched Earth

Are there any admins?

     There will be a few of admins (including myself) playing along with you.  I know every single one of them in real life so they're all trusted. The admin tribe is "The Overseers" There will be NO admin abuse. I repeat, absolutely NO admin abuse. When Aberration is released the admins will NOT being using commands or anything. Will be playing like anyone else. The tribe will not be the overseers either. We want to really experience the new expansion. 

Will there be a starter pack?

     YES! There is a starter pack but only on Ragnarok. Head over to blue ob where "Newcomers Hall" is built. Our starter packs consist of:

  1. Lvl 300 Pelagornis
  2. GPS
  3. Spyglass
  4. Canteen
  5. Full Hide
  6. Crossbow & Tranqs
  7. Hatchet and Pickaxe
  8. 5 Large Crop Plot
  9. Stone foundations, walls, and ceiling (25 each)

*** Rarity for items varies from Journeyman, Mastercraft, and Ascendant.

NOTE: Admins do hold the right to refuse giving out a starter pack. If an admin is not on, continue to play and wait till one is on. 

Donations?

     If you do love playing on the server and want to help out we do accept donations. Currently, Xbox Store cards work perfectly fine. I am able to use my Microsoft account funds to prolong the server runtime and increase player caps. 
     You can also donate by "Server Boosting". To server boost, you have to make an account on Nitrado and use their app through the Xbox or your computer. Then you have to look up one of the ABS servers with the code provided below.

  • The Island: gik5y2dg
  • Ragnarok: xjcxgsmb
  • Aberration: b2u4renv

     I will also be giving out donation packages to show my appreciation for helping out. :Jerblove:

     I will add of the list of the packages later on.

Server Rules: 

**All rules are subject to change and can be adjusted depending on what the majority of the people want.

     There will be a few rules to establish a healthy running server. Remember that this is a PVP server, meaning.. you can be killed anywhere (like the real world) so prepare yourself.

  • Do NOT raid new players. We want people to build and get established. Hit tribes your size.
  • DO NOT NAME YOUR PLAYER HUMAN, BOB, or JOE! If you named your player this before knowing the rule, I am able to change it with a command. Although it is easier to make a new character early on.
  • NO blocking resources (building on metal spawns, etc.  Building on metal spawns with only a few rocks around is okay, just don't build on big metal spawns)
  • NO building at obelisks (only community structures)
  • NO building around beaver spawn/dams
  • CLEAR OUT BEAVER DAMS. 
  • NO PVP at or around community structures. Admin/Owner enforced.
  • NO building in or directly outside of caves containing artifacts. Other players have to be able to reach artifacts. 
  • Clean up after yourself. If you move bases or just have random structures out and about, please destroy them. 
  • NO PROMOTING/RECRUITING PLAYERS TO JOIN ANOTHER SERVER.

Other Key Notes:

  • Trolling and Griefing are very frowned upon, but not against the rules. 
  • Admins are fair game. They are playing the game just like you are. With this being said, do not complain once they attack back. Eye for an eye.
  • The server store currency will be spark powder, metal ingots, and cementing paste.
  • Events will be hosted quite frequently once admins are settled in. 
  • There are no build collisions. No longer will that skimpy little half a boulder stand in your way from completing your prideful fortress! Build without having to worry about placement!
  • Remember, your reputation will precede you. Treat others how you want to be treated. If you go around raiding everybody, don't be surprised if you see an angry mob at your front gates.
  • The server setup is NEVER final, most settings will always be up for discussion if a change in any area is needed. I may be the admin but this is your home too.
  • VIDEO CAPTURE IS YOUR FRIEND! If you seek justice, we will require evidence!

     There will be a community district that will be available to everyone who plays on the server. There will a server store where players will be able to buy or sell their items and dinosaurs. A Coliseum where people will be able to show their true skill in battles to the death. There is going to be a wild variety of community buildings on all of the servers that will benefit everyone.

  • I cannot stress this enough, NO PVP AT COMMUNITY STRUCTURES. These areas are for people to use and feel safe. Players shouldn't have to worry about getting ganked while at the store.
  • Do NOT completely empty the community vaults. Take what you need and leave behind what you don't want.

NEWCOMERS HALL

     Newcomers is located on the Ragnarok server at blue ob. It is where new players are able to claim their starter pack. It is also where the community vaults and Blood Bowl are located. The community vaults are for anybody to use. They are filled with goodies here and there. The Blood Bowl is used for 1v1, 2v2, small FFAs and dodo fights. There are also a bunch of signs and billboards in this area giving players more info. 

Events:

     There is going to be a wide variety of events happening on this server. Here are just some ideas we have in store for you guys. If you have any other suggestions, leave a comment!

  • Dodo Fights - Tame a dodo and make it fight to the death against your opponent. Does your dumb bird have what it takes? 
  • Raptor Boxing - Breed your champion. 
  • Horse Racing - Use your Equus tame in a race from point A to point B. Get to that finish line to claim your reward.
  • Gladiator & Beast Battles - Speaks for itself, the most violent sport known to mankind, since the Romans, now the Survivors! Take your shield, choose your weapon, walk out onto the battlefield that's stained red, 1v1 battles, tribe style team battles, and a main Battle Royale type event! Claim your glory here!
  • Hardcore Ninja Warrior - A parkour like obstacle course. Very dangerous, much death.
  • Scavenger Hunts - Hints will be handed out. First to find it wins the prize! Could be a vault filled will goodies or a rare colored dinosaur.
  • Jousting - 1v1 Who will reign supreme? 
  • Spike Maze - Metal Spikes will form a small maze and the first survivor to get through wins!
  • More to come ^^

     With Halloween already behind us, expect the server to have some sort of Christmas events and themes. :dod-xmas:

Server Notes:

  • The new Aberration server will have item and dino downloads disabled for the first few weeks. The reason behind this is because we want an equal playing field for everyone. We don't want players to be able to set up massive bases right away. You will be able to upload new items and dinos you tame on Aberration and bring them over to the Island or Ragnarok if you please.

What is the stance on killing passives?  Frowned upon?  Encouraged?  Don’t care?  Just looking to get a grasp of how hidden/protected i need to keep them.

It’s frowned upon, but there’s always one or two people who will try to kill them, or knock them out and see what’s in their inventories. You’re best bet is to find a hidden spot to build, such as a cave, and set up shop there.
