So they lied. They always lie. Stop complaining about their blatant dishonesty, it's what they are known for. My friends ask about ark and I warn them all NOT to buy it. I've got a question for people freaking out about no support- of all of us who have submitted tickets how many were actually handled? Of the characters lost how many were restored to what they were? I've got multiple tribemates and friends who lost theirs, zero of them were restored. I'm someone out there has gotten their half hearted 90 level replacement, but was that the going rate? No. You got ignored. Did you have groups glitch under the map and build bases there wiping people by shooting rockets UP from under the map? We saw it multiple servers and we all submitted tickets. How many people saw those bases dev wiped? I saw zero of them dev wiped. I'm sure someone somewhere saw one dev wiped, but how about for the majority of us? Who submitted a gamertag, gamer name and even offered photo evidence of dupers? Remember when the founder said the ban hammer was coming mid August? How many of us saw those people banned and their tribes wiped? How many of us saw wipes for spiked off spawns over an entire server? Guys they've NEVER actually done any measurable support. Ever. They have zero customer support. Those foolish enough to think that they will magically start on the new servers, sorry guys. It'll be the same thing there. You think someone will respond to your ticket about a cheater or a lost character while every piece of evidence shows the opposite? Brilliant.
If if you feel wronged then go to the new clusters and make it unplayable for new players. Sit on the beach and club them down as they spawn until they go back to other games. Hey, it's not even outside of the rules. Have they lied to you repeatedly, then tossed the bird at you? You have the power to return the favor. You have a 2 year head start at this game and can be level 100 the first week. Imagine that vs the masses (assuming there will be masses) that spawn in front of you. Happy hunting.
