ARKDaily Broadcast Issue #9

Good afternoon fellow ARKaholics. Today is Thursday which means that there is nothing officially releasing today from the team at ARK. Though, having said that, there is still a possibility of having another “Community Crunch” like we had last Thursday, it is unclear about this though. We’ll be focusing more on the community side and searching for more community questions that have been answered by the developers.

If you missed anything, there was a ton of news released yesterday, including an ARKDaily, a Dino Dossier and a ARK Digest. The “dino” featured (technically not a dinosaur) was the Pteranodon, a flying creature that will be able to be tamed and mounted. In the ARK Digest, they answered a tonne of questions, from firing weapons while mounted to how the electrical system will work. Be sure to check out the linked articles if you missed any of those things.

Additionally, in ARKaholic news, yesterday, we managed to achieve four milestones. Before getting to those, a note about our pageview counting methodology. When, in the past, we cited pageview counts, we used the built in WordPress pageview counter. This, however, only counted the pageviews on the blog. We recently added Google Analytics to all of our pages, so we’ll now have more accurate numbers that include the blog, forum and wiki. Now, the milestones: the first was getting over 20,000 total pageviews on the blog since we launched last week, and the second being 200+ members on our ARKaholic Steam Group! The third was getting 4,000 pageviews on the blog, with a total pageview count for the entire site of over 7,600. The fourth was reaching 300 followers on the ARKaholic Twitter! We’ve said it before, but we are constantly blown away by the support we’ve been getting, and are truly grateful for all the positive feedback we’ve gotten. Keep being awesome, you guys & gals. ^.^
