We should combine our efforts with the ORP Cluster community - Hardcore and ORP are in the same class of server

I can confidently say that Official ORP servers will not be returning to this game. Dollie has once again addressed that the servers were not popular enough to warrant having new servers. (8 months ago from time of this comment) she has said today that nothing has changed and that addressing the same issue 6 months and one month apart will result in diminishing returns. - idk what the fug that means, nothing has been said since 8 months ago. Regardless, they do not want to add the servers back. Obviously they are popular and obviously they are missed by many. So the reason that they actually aren't being added is still speculation. There is nothing we can do. The fact that this is still #1 most popular game suggestion since release reflects that there is actually 0 point to these forums as the devs do not see or care what is on here. They are wasting money hosting this website. I have lost all faith in WC and Ark. After 8ish thousand ours. I'm not appreciated or respected.... so I am done. Thanks for killing my bestfriend

Sad to see that OfficialORPClusters haven't been added. It's been 8 months since devs have addressed this issue. Hundreds of players waiting for them to comeback. It's a good opportunityfor the devs to show that they are willing and capable of listening to their players/customers feedback and act on it. ( Bring Back ORP has been #1 in the game suggestion forum since ASA release ) It's pretty hard to not feel the kick in the guts when they're adding $15 maps & a whole bunch of DLC while they ignore the #1 most requested feature. Not like its something new, gamebreaking or unreasonable. Infact - no orp implies that the Devs do not care about the playerbase and their wishes. It reflects that they will continue to ignore us whilst pumping out paid DLC until there is no playerbase left Somthing needs to change - our voice won't get any louder

Still no official ORP clusters. - dissapointment. Has been 8 months since last update - maybe tell the consumers that certain features won't be present in the "remaster". Unstead of scummily promising an upgrade and not following through once you have our money. Favourite game since 2016 effectively has killed itself. Was fun whilst it lasted. R.I.P ARK - we will miss you

Still no Official ORP clusters... dissapointing

"Friends" lol

Copy this text into a ticket. Also copy this text and @the devs in general chat. You have made very good points

We are the legacy players

Well said - too old and too much going on to commit the time required to enjoy the current avalible PVP servers. Was a non issue when we were in highschool

Do you have any suggestions for any processes we can do to push this? It has been #1 most popular thread in game suggestions since ASA dropped...

You are correct. ORP was a viable option for solo/small tribes especially of the tribe consisted of full-time workers, parents ect. Personally, my tribe ( all irl friends x6 ) started playing official in 2016. We now need to work to survive. ORP was there for us. We could grow into functioning adults and still enjoy the game. We were all still playing ORP with jobs and kids. Now we're left behind

Well said.

I would rather eat a poop sandwich than starve.

Dear Studio Wildcard Developers, I am writing to you today regarding the absence of official Offline Raid Protection (ORP) servers in Ark: Survival Ascended. I understand that the community is currently experiencing a high level of frustration, and I want to express my own concerns in a constructive manner. Many players, including myself, were disappointed to find that ORP servers were not included in Ark: Survival Ascended upon release. Given that this feature was present and well-received in Ark: Survival Evolved, its absence has led to a feeling of unmet expectations for a significant portion of the player base. This is especially true considering the time that has passed since Ascended's release. In Ark: Survival Evolved, ORP servers provided a valuable alternative for players who wished to engage in PvP without the constant concern of offline raiding. This fostered a healthier balance between offensive and defensive gameplay, allowing players with varying schedules and commitments to participate more actively in the PvP environment. It also encouraged more dynamic and engaging online interactions. We understand that game development is a complex process, and we appreciate the work that goes into creating and maintaining a game like Ark. However, we believe that reintroducing ORP servers would be a significant step towards addressing community concerns and rebuilding trust. It would demonstrate a commitment to fulfilling player expectations and providing a diverse and engaging gameplay experience. Therefore, I respectfully request that you prioritize the implementation of official ORP servers in Ark: Survival Ascended. We believe this would be a valuable opportunity to reconnect with the community and demonstrate a willingness to listen to our feedback. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, The Official ORP Community

Can we please have an update on the reimplementation of Official ORP & Official Hardcore servers. Our community if feeling very, very left behind...
