I'm a new player that got ark a couple of days ago and thus far my experience has been miserable, from the constant lags to the disconnects/timeouts, and today it's the entire pvp server that I play on going down repeatedly, this is just unplayable.
The boosted rates from unofficial servers are not a thing I look forward to, but are these at least stable? I freakin' loved the game concept so far, it would be nice if I could properly experience it.
