Upcoming Server Maintenance!

At 1pm Eastern on August 1st we will be taking down a few servers for maintenance to move these servers to new hardware. We expect maintenance to last for approximately 2 hours. Check the post below to see which servers will be affected:

In addition, the remaining Fresh servers currently online on console and PC will be joining the main cluster tomorrow at 1pm. If you're currently playing on a Fresh server, expect brief downtime at that time as your server joins the rest of the network.

Community Livestream #5 This Thursday!

This Thursday August 2nd the community team will be doing another biweekly livestream!

During these livestreams Zen Rowe, Chris, and Jen bring you ARK news, celebrate modding, and the community as a whole every other week. We mix it up between playing ARK, showing off mods, and showing off your community creations for all to see. Survivors are invited to join us in the chat (and sometimes even in-game) to play and talk with the community team.

We are accepting any type of ARK related fanart to be featured in the Showcase section of the stream and entries are always open. This can be drawings, videos, builds, ANSEL screenshots, handmade crafts, anything ARK related!

You can submit your ARKwork to our streaming email address: arkfans@studiowildcard.com

Be sure to follow us on our Twitch page so you don't miss a stream! twitch.tv/survivetheark

We'll be hosting our next Community Live Stream on Thursday, August the 2nd! We hope to see you there
