Welcome to the Official Ark: Survival Evolved forums! All Survivors are invited to join the forums and participate in discussions (not withstanding any VAC bans on Steam you may have). As a member of the community, you must abide by a few short rules: 1. Respect each other. Detrimental behavior such as flaming and derogatory/personalized harassment (outlined further below under 'Warnings') will not be tolerated. 2. Do not incessantly bump threads or spam. 3. Do not post topics discussing bans or warnings. Please use the Support Ticket Submission to report in-game issues. Forum bans and warnings should be discussed via support ticket only, using the ticket type Forums and Forums Accounts. Posts regarding these topics will be removed by a moderator or staff. 4. Do not abuse the Forms (linked above) with multiple related submissions, or false reports. 5. No alternate forum accounts. Users found with multiple accounts will be subject to a 30-day forum ban. If you are unable to access your initial account, please submit a ticket on our support site. On top of these five simple rules, we also have a few guidelines: Community Officers: Community Officers (Moderators and Recruits) are the moderators of the Community Forums. They are trusted members of the community, here to keep the peace and help out as much as they can. They largely address issues regarding the Forums, and are unable to officially address in-game issue/bugs or reports against other players. Moderator applications are not accepted, and appointments of moderators are at the discretion of Studio Wildcard. Posting: Make sure when posting that your thread is being posted into the correct location. Your topic may be moved without warning by a Community Officer if it is placed in the wrong category. Avoid duplicate topics where applicable. Refrain from using all caps and extremely large fonts in your posts. Limit your topic post tags to a maximum of 10 total tags. Failing to do so may results in an edit from a Community Officer. If you would like your own topic removed, please report the topic and ask for it's removal in the description. If you are requesting a server advertisement post to be removed, please await the removal before posting a new topic to avoid receiving a warning for having duplicate advertisements. Topic removal can also be handled through a Forums and Forums Accounts support ticket however this option may result in a delay in processing. Words or small sentences in languages other than English are allowed only for the purpose of teaching someone, or for clarification. Our Moderators are unable to effectively moderate via a translator. Warnings: As stated in rule one, harassment will not be tolerated. It is up to our discretion what derogatory and personalized harassment is. If it seems like what you're about to communicate seems like it's going to really offend or be harmful to another persons ability to be a part of our community without fear of being harassed, don't say it. Employ common courtesy. We understand that there are elements to our game which can cause things to get heated, however we request that you do not go overboard. In these extreme cases we will step in. Disobeying any of the rules/guidelines can result in a warning. You may receive a warning in the form of "warning points" for: spamming, inappropriate language, signature violation, excessive topic bumping, or generally abusive behavior. Multiple warnings can lead to site restrictions and eventual banning from the Forums. Inappropriate usernames: Racist, sexist, and generally inappropriate usernames will not be tolerated. You should also not use your username as a way to advertise. If deemed inappropriate your username will be changed by a Moderator, and you will be contacted to provide an alternate username which will be updated for you. You will be prevented from posting until your username issue is resolved. Reporting Posts: If you feel that someone's post(s) are detrimental to the community, you can report their post and your report will be sent to the Community Officers. Please be aware that we take these reports seriously, and you should report a post only when you feel like it is disobeying the community guidelines. Refrain from mini-modding/backseat moderating and contact a Community Officer where necessary. Topic Locking/Deleting: It is up to the Moderators discretion to remove replies and/or lock threads. Threads that are disruptive to the community and cause more harm than good (including but not limited to: flame wars, fighting, and trolling) will be locked. Reasons for locking the topic are generally provided by a moderator at the time of locking. We usually do not delete forums topics, and employ locking where necessary. However, if there is sensitive information that has the potential to negatively affect the game and it's community that topic may be deleted rather than locked. Wildcard reserves the right to change and/or add to these guidelines at our discretion where necessary. These rules ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience here. With that said, we hope to see you as an active member of the community!

The format is MM/DD/YYYY similar to how you typed out the month then the day. This means the information will be revealed on November 7.

I can't give the specifics but we are aware of the issue and have already begun the process for getting things running again.

Breeding puts a massive strain on our servers. If you can remember all the complaints about things chugging along during Extra Life, which was only for a day or so, then you can picture how bad things could be for the duration of the event.

Please make sure that your client is up to date and is on version 311.74. You may want to restart steam after updating as well if you're still not seeing it.

Welcome to the Playstation Server Advertisement forums. This sub-forum is a place where members can post advertisements for their servers. There are however a few rules that members should abide by before interacting in this sub-forum. Follow the Community Forum Guidelines which are pinned at the top of this sub-forum and every other sub-forum. Do not repost server advertisements. Only one advertisement per server is allowed - any duplicate posts will be removed and further reposts may result in a warning being issued. Please only advertise for your own server, unless permission is granted by the server owner. Cluster servers should be advertised as a single advertisement and list details for each server in that cluster (no single server cluster ads allowed). Server advertisements are allowed ONE bump every 24 hours. Other posts by other members within that 24hr period also count as bumps. Therefore a bump should only be made if there has been no activity on your post for 24+ hours. Bumps by other members (known as "proxy" bumps) also are considered bumps therefore the same rules apply. Failure to follow this will result in a warning. ** A bump is constituted as a reply to a post in which the purpose is to send the post to the top of the forums, even if the post does not include the word "bump". Advertisement posts should be limited solely to advertising and all information regarding the server or any changes to the server should be included in the OP rather than new individual posts ** Posting negatively towards other server advertisements is strictly prohibited. Posts that flame other servers or server members will be removed and result in a warning issued. If there is a problem with the server environment, the forums is not a place to discuss this, please do so in a private manner. Do not flame server owners for personal disputes. Do not direct other members away from servers because of a poor experience. If a server admin is breaking community forum rules, please report them. We do however not handle personal server disputes. Please do not share or promote of NSFW content. This includes servers, media, and other sites/platforms. If the server you're advertising makes use of crossplay, please make use of the crossplay server advertisement section.

Guys please, keep the geopolitical pissing contest off the thread. It's unrelated to all of this stuff. If you don't want to support it, don't.

Welcome to the Server Advertisement forums. This sub-forum is a place where members can post advertisements for their servers. There are however a few rules that members should abide by before interacting in this sub-forum. 1. Follow the Community Forum Guidelines which are pinned at the top of this sub-forum and every other sub-forum. 2. Do not repost server advertisements. Only one advertisement per server is allowed - any duplicate posts will be removed and further reposts may result in a warning being issued. 3. Server advertisements are allowed ONE bump every 24 hours. Other posts by other members within that 24hr period also count as bumps. Therefore a bump should only be made if there has been no activity on your post for 24+ hours. Bumps by other members (known as "proxy" bumps) also are considered bumps therefore the same rules apply. Failure to follow this will result in a warning. ** A bump is constituted as a reply to a post in which the purpose is to send the post to the top of the forums, even if the post does not include the word "bump". Advertisement posts should be limited solely to advertising and all information regarding the server or any changes to the server should be included in the OP rather than new individual posts ** 4. Posting negatively towards other server advertisements is strictly prohibited. Posts that flame other servers or server members will be removed and result in a warning issued. If there is a problem with the server environment, the forums is not a place to discuss this, please do so in a private manner. 5. Do not flame server owners for personal disputes. 6. Do not direct other members away from servers because of a poor experience. 7. If a server admin is breaking community forum rules, please report them. We do however not handle personal server disputes.

Let's try to stay on topic fellas.
