@Yggdrassil @GrumpyBear I'm not sure how it's handled if you download a map and run it on single player. I'm guessing they will have to make a change to the client for consoles. Not sure, I won't touch single player with a 20' pole (way too buggy). When they make the maps available, if you rent a server and upload it. You keep your character. It's as if you are logging right back into the official server on the day they took the save. Nothing changes other than everyone else is gone (lol) and you are an admin now. I did this last time they made the legacy maps available in 2017. If I remember correctly, it's been a while.

It's going to be sad to see you go.

I'll have to jump on and look around my old servers. I haven't been on the game since the announcement. No point. I don't have much laying around officials anymore as it is.

Nope, just jammin on my games. Enjoy.

While anecdotal, that's still interesting.

I love both games. Opinions are cool. Best part is, you can hate them as much as you like. Doesn't affect my enjoyment of them at all.

You do, put them at the bottom of the list.

I know this doesn't track with console players as the dated consoles will not be able to play any longer but with all the hubbub, the PC crowd's playing habits hasn't changed: https://steamcharts.com/app/346110#1m In fact, playing has increased slightly.

I stopped playing ASE. What's the point? It's all gone in 4 months. I'll still check out ASA after release. Playing other games has been quite liberating.

Grounded and Conan are great games. That's the funny thing about opinions.

I found the issue in the timeline.

Correct. Marketing 101, price is set by what people are willing to pay.

And it was promptly ignored. The report function is for reporting other users breaking forum rules. Anything other than that is an abuse of the report function.

They already said you can: Official Servers: With the launch of ASA at the end of August, we will be taking down all Official Servers on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC for ARK: Survival Evolved – at that time, the final save-datas from the ARK: Survival Evolved Official Servers will be uploaded for players to re-host on their own servers or play in singleplayer/non-dedi, as well as slightly earlier snapshots. You will still be able to play on single-player, non-dedicated, player-dedicated, and unofficial servers. ARK: Survival Ascended will have its own fully supported Official Network for all platforms.

If they release it like they did last time. Anybody can download it. I was downloading and running around everyone else's servers just to see what all everyone had.

Storage is dirt cheap these days.

Anyone can suggest any changes they want. Nobody owns the rights to the idea. Change away.

A bug in a client can easily crash a server. I could write a one-liner in 3-5 languages that can crash a server no problem.

It will be. Nobody is transferring anything.

Guess everyone will have to get used to starting over again then.

Perhaps you should work for WC, show em how it's done.

Yes. Only the official servers will be shut down. However no new content or bug fixes will be available.

It's bad when console players have to put up with all the PC cheaters.

That's my point. From the way it's worded, it doesn't look to have anything to do with UEx. Much like when WoW moved from having a 'WoW' account to a Battle Net account encompassing their entire catalog.

As you can see. That's not what they are doing here. They are creating a unified character system.
