arkmain.png ArkTD.com - Ark Tower Defense on a Supercomputer


Today March 31, we officially relaunched www.arktd.com, now it depends on you to join the server and make our idea great by living it
ArkTD runs on a small supercomputer, linked at 10gbps. It's like 40 dedicated Ark servers in one!
The server is uplinked very good, you will find that most areas in the world have low ping, players from US, Canada, Germany, Singapore and Austria reported the best latency and performance in their ARK lifes.
The majority of players also report a way higher framerate, up to 25 fps more average rates.  At least partly the map is reason for that.
 

You ever thought about restarting your Ark career or switching server ? This might be your best bet for a long time.

It's a completely fresh wiped world on an awesome new handcrafted map (The Center), you can search for your favorite spot and start without disadvantages.

On top of that, what's special about our server:
* Powered by a full blown supercomputer, pre funded longterm and still scaleable in case we need it

* 101 slots, I think this is enough for the Island map. However we could probably double that as well if required ;)
* PVP with minimal ruleset but no harassments allowed

* Running the latest version of The Center, a wonderful handcrafted map with a huge amount of content to explore
* no ingame admin (no cheaters!)
* completely freshly wiped world!
* Boosted settings between 2.0x and 3.0x
* On top of this we run a competition about building the largest tower, you can win real world prizes

* Community voted fate, rules, map, content 
* non profit, private funded. We just want an awesome project going on. There is no entry fee or anything, just hop in and play.

www.arkTD.com



I've been asked how we can fund such a computer for a non profit project and why we should do that.
The answer is simple, it's funded and prepaid capacity from a huge (finished) commerical project which is not required anymore. 
The supercomputer is funded through the whole year, you can expect a stable longterm experience and no unexpected fate.

We had several requests about the map and only 8 registered players in our first hours of launch.
We decided to do a relaunch on the huge new map "The Center", the players I could reach were happy with the change. 
Two players could not be reached, I hope it's not a big set back for you. However it's just a few hours lost and there won't be any more unexpected wipes from now on.

Joining this server means you can experience ARK like in your first weeks, wasn't it awesome not to know each spot ?
The Center is handcrafted, huge and well designed. It will give your hundreds of hours gametime without boredom like The Island in your beginning.

We've an awesome fast server, very good (minimal) rules, many incentives for all players to stay alive and active ..
It now only depends on YOU. Give us a chance and start your new Ark career here.
I am very sure you'll not regret it.

Update: Server performance and lag has been reported to be exceptional by players from Singapore, Canada, US east-coast, Germany and Austria.  
Most players report a framerate boost by 20-30% and smooth gameplay like never before.

This is especially great as people from Singapore or Canada usually can not play well on german uplinks.
However we have no usual uplink.
The server is really uplinked at freaking 10 gbps (100 times faster than most other  servers which are usually sharing the uplink with many ark servers)
But more important is the exceptional routing, our small supercomputer is connected into the internet through very good backbones enabling best possible latency to all of the world.

Best possible might not always be enough, we have no experience with Australian players so far or south african ones.
We will be happy to hear your report dear africans and Aussies :)

Now we are into day 3 of Ark on ArkTD.
The server boosts have been increased by community voting, it's 5x now.
Mods have been added by community suggestions: Metal Glass and Binoculars with zoom levels
Another mod in consideration is the "stacking" mod.

Playercount is nicely rising, we are now into day 3 since launch and 19 players are active already.
We are peaking at 13 players online at one moment.
The server has not been empty at all during the last 30 hours, always at least a few players there. 24 hours a day!

One week since wipe has passed, 50 players have registered and 15 tribes are set up.
Every 20 minutes the savegame duration is around 0.3 seconds at this point, that's the only lags experienced.

This is likely the only EU hosted server with more American players than EU players.
This means we have 24 hours of action here, there is no hour without players connected.
That's exceptional for a 1 week old server.

Growth is far better than most servers, however it's not good enough. Especially as the server is international mixed, this separates players through time zones.
We need more people.

Players joining will still be able to catch up with the tribes within a week or so.
As far as I could follow there are two large tribes a few medium ones and several small or very young tribes. 
Atmosphere is very constructive, mostly.
