  1. I have one. It's called WURM Unlimited. You get WURM Online as well, free, (through steam), but that one has pay servers (official). The Unlimited relies on someone hosting their own servers (and gives documentation on how to do it), but you have to pay for Unlimited up front. It's still popular. On a side note, FFXI and FFXIV:ARR still have regular updates and maintenance, and while maybe not as popular as the other games, have been collecting money monthly for about 20 years now (in the case of FFXI). I don't know about you, but from a developer POV I would rather be able to have a steady paycheck for 20 years than to have to find a new job every 5 or 10. Still, you are right that they are very different business models, and I suspect I am one of only a very few to cross both fan bases.
  2. I've never bought gamepass. It's not required for multiplayer. I've played (accidentally) on PVP servers, and prefer PVE. Only a couple of game modes require multipass, I believe they are the ARK conquest servers. They had/have no financial structure for paying server maintenance, except for new purchases and DLC.
  3. Okay, sorry it is taking me so long to get back to this thread, I work 8-5 and kids just started back to school. I got a reply from WC/SG, I will post it below. It looks like the issue with survivors is in fact intentional. Greetings Survivor, Thank you for contacting Studio Wildcard Customer Support. We're very sorry to hear that you're having an issue with the your save. It is intended that no .arkprofile data is provide as it provide sensitive information. Please make sure that you are using the command lines, this should resolve the issue. https://survivetheark.com/index.php?%2Fserver-backups%2F Steam: Library > Right-click on ARK: Survival Evolved > Properties > General Tab > Launch Options and paste this command line: -newsaveformat -usestore Epic Game Store: Library > ARK Survival Evolved > Click the [...] > Toggle on Launch Options >Paste in this command line: -newsaveformat -usestore Sincerely, GM Remy Studio Wildcard http://www.studiowildcard.com I have rented server space on Nitrado, I cannot figure how to make those launch options work. If I use the direct server transfer function in Nitrado, I cannot access any of the files. (This means when I can't afford to pay for the server, I can't "save state" until I can afford it again) So I took the server offline, and used the FTP to put my downloaded server up there. There's still no option for those launch options, and I feel way out of my depth (I'm a manufacturing guy, not a computer guy). The server is still not started, as I sort of need some help to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing - I haven't even gotten as far as making the 3rd admin command (takealldino, takeallstructure, maketribefounder) that Nitrado suggested as a workaround, to work for me. If someone is available in about 24 hours (my Friday night) I will have time to try and figure it out. I made a discord server just for the Nitrado server, https://discord.gg/PxbzsxkkGG Otherwise, I am certainly open to suggestions from here, or private messages, whatever. It looks like there will need to be some sort of workaround for me to keep playing, and one of the things I have liked best about the game is to have other people online while I play. It's only PVE-theIsland47, but I would love to have others join - once I can figure out how to get it working right for me.
  4. Yes, that looks very different. I downloaded NA-PVE-Official-island47. For reference, I do regularly log in and play on that server. I keep a survivor on there all the time, not transferring between servers, as well. Should I complain to someone? and who to?
  5. Here is the official save folder I just downloaded from savetheark. I have one picture with sorting by file type ascending, and one descending (to save space). There are no arkprofile, just arktributetribe files. If you have arkprofile data, it must be from a download before they took them down, and put them back up again? If you are downloading them from somewhere other than https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/server-backups/ and finding profile data, please let me know.
  6. Hi, having similar troubles.. looked at the Nitrado FTP wiki, the big problem I have found is that the Official Save Files have NO .arkprofile files in them. It is only tribe data. This means there are no survivors, just a pile of structures and tribes. Is there a place the arkprofile is saved locally (some steam file?) when you log onto official? That way each person could extract their own. I tried using the official save provided to Nitrado, I couldn't get the admin cheats to work. Perhaps I did something wrong? I could takeallstructures and takealldinos, but it would not let me maketribefounder, it just kept generating new tribes and I couldn't get back to my original one. Edit: I have also gotten that above admincheat list from Nitrado, I have doubled this reply in my ticket to them. Perhaps they will be more capable at getting a WC/SG response.
