Hey guys. I know everyone has been hankering for some news regarding the Ark server so here it is. After some discussion the admins have decided that it would be best if we make a shift to 'The Centre' map. We're hoping that this will take place in about a weeks time to give people the chance to get the map downloaded and to take the time to say a fond farewell to their creations/dinos on the existing map. This week should also give a chance to get together to summon the brood mother if you so choose to (anyone who has seen the videos will basically know its a death-sentence though!)
When the map does go live, the central floating island will be reserved for community projects and harvesting only. There will no 'claiming' of this area! The usual PvP rules will apply: there is no PvP unless pre-organised.
In case anyone is wondering, the current map is being mothballed and saved by the team, so its not a wipe-wipe as it were, just in case there are any problems or anything - its just that it won't be available to play after the switch.
Any concerns, please post them here and we'll try and address them.
Can we make an event of the 'start' of the server? As in, let us all know when it will be up and try if possible to land this at say 1930 on a Friday or something? Just so we can all start out fresh on a new server at the same time and work to find each other etc! Could be fun. Appreciate not everyone would be able to make this though.
Can't wait for This map it looks so nice but I am with chaos on this I would love one night to all start together on there. lol forward to hear me about this tho and thanks for the update
Yay! Excellent news. looking forward to stepping foot onto the new isle with you folks. Thanks for the update!

The only reason I wanted to play this again jewelz so it can be like the LAN again :flirty:
I left the Ark for new shores, and let me tell you this, I found them. THE CENTRE is vast my comrades, Ferocious Volcanoes, Icy peaks and dense jungle, this place is no picnic!
It is dangerous, and bountiful and the Dinosaurs are powerful, wilder, and more ferocious than any we have seen before!
Ruins, huge, ancient and beautiful, they can be seen from the rivers edge, as I sailed West.
And at the Centre, well, let me tell you, you wouldn't believe me if I described what I saw.
We will conquer this new land together. We will survive this new Ark!
:woot2:
...I'll have whatever he's having.
XD
Guys, just a heads-up that the map will be changing shortly - possibly in the next few days.
We will post up the launch when confirmed and give everyone a couple of days' notice but be prepared.
Sith and I are oiled up and ready to go.

The old 'TheIsland' server has now been mothballed.
The last few days on the server have been great fun but it's now time to move on. So thank you all for making it a great success and I hope you'll give the beautiful new map a try as we all start again from scratch.
See you on the beach :byebye:

Shall we all spawn on Tropical Island NORTH
I repeat, TROPICAL ISLAND NORTH
For the 'real men' in the group I recommend the Lava/Ash Island.

Looking forward to it :)
See you all at 7 for some real fun. Depending on the numbers I might be best going into smaller groups after the introduction.... Just an idea
Be about 8 for me....school meeting😦

So is there an event for this? Or is it just log on and jab some dinos? Are we all spawning in the same place?
AFAIK it is just when the server overlords are able to click the buttons and hit the switches and so on, but I imagine people will start hopping on from 1700 or so.
That's a good point when is this going live, I imagine an admin will say soon but I see a bunch of different times on this forums. I had a feeling it was at 7 but seems I got this number from nowhere. Would love to know the time it's launched and live For us all
I'm lurking in TS as of now, and I'm sure Pen will communicate here with details super soon :D
I be on there soon then man to talk to you if you don't mind :)
I believe the official kick off time is set for 7.30pm but obviously it depends on the goodwill and availability of our lovely server team.

The server work should be done between 6 and 6:30pm.

Bloody Awesome* :D
I had a really good night. I only died twice. How is the feeding program going on in the jungle?
Seriously though. Much fun was had by myself - and hopefully others.
Not good...maybe a more conservative average level 50 for AI instead of 140

High levels of Banter last night, loved it.

When I was killed by a level 135 Giga I knew we may have chosen a slightly, umm, challenging spot.
I'm going to stick it out though :-)
