Dark Arks!

Introduction & Overview

 

Dark Arks is a family of stable, long-term and permanent Ark servers. We aim to give players a solid, fun, non-toxic unofficial PvE Ark server so that they don't have to keep looking. While unofficial servers can breed toxicity and grief-playing, we achieve and maintain a solid, cohesive, positive Ark community that exemplifies what we feel is what Ark should be all about. By avoiding pay-to-win incentives, locking out corruption at the start, and being retroactive as our community thrives and grows, we nurture a positive fun atmosphere that encompasses and encourages all player styles. We offer accelerated rates that aren't game-breaking, but keep in the challenge so that boredom isn't an issue here. We offer a great API backed cash shop, a solid mod list that isn't too big or laggy, and keep in the things that make Ark great! We also work hard to make sure that rules are enforced where absolutely necessary so that you can really enjoy the maps to their fullest potential.

Dark Arks currently runs and features a high-rate Steam PC PvE Ark server cluster on an independent host, with our own branded Ip's, consisting of 7 maps: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Aberration, Extinction, Scorched Earth & Valguero.

Keep in mind your game may freeze as it loads up those mods the first time around. Don't close your game and don't alt-tab out during this process to prevent further issues, as this is completely normal. We strongly suggest subscribing to our mods before attempting to launch the game, and unsubscribing from mods you don't use as well. This will help shave off some of the wait time!

Hope to see you there!

Another friendly bump!

As last time :D This server is great and fantastic. You won't regret giving it a shot

I'm a little biased, but I'm right there with Arkrael when I say we're the best. But, we're only the best because of AWESOME players like Arkrael being a part of our player family! ❤️ :D

We're a boosted PVE PC server, with 8 clustered maps that are actually geared toward the creative building designer and/or super dino breeders out there. Our maps are kept clutter free and clear of structure spam so your options for where to build are wide open!

Our community is rock solid. NO griefers / trolls / spammers in this cluster. We host lots of creative and unique events if you're a social gamer, but our environment totally caters to the solitary player as well. 

I hope you decide to join us :)https://discordapp.com/invite/UmtJrDh

Want to play solo? We've got the right collection of players and playstyles to work with that. Want to group up? We have tribes that can back that up too. Just say the word and you're there.
