While it breaks my heart to see almost 8 years of work disappear, it also brings some relief that my friends and I won't have to refresh multiple servers twice a week. That being said, if you're going to rerelease Ark with a new coat of paint, I hope you take the opportunity to fix some long-enduring issues, my two biggest concerns being:
1. Pillar spam. Please change how territory claiming works; it can be a single structure that gives you a set area that you're allowed to build inside, which can potentially be upgraded to allow more space and/or structures.
2. Fix the building from the ground up. Stackable foundations like those in S+ would be a great start.
We love this game and the community that you've helped to build. Please continue to make it the best it can be.
