I think it's a little premature to jump straight to the DLC tbh and am not proposing we do anything until a discussion at the LAN.

There will be a council and game leader meeting at the LAN but I'd also like to have an unofficial ARK meeting for admins (and, I guess, players interested in attending).

Sounds good to me, and a sensible way to approach things. I think that yes we should open it up to anyone.

I want in on the meetings

It occurred to me whilst playing on the centre we could keep the centre running as the 'permanent' dMw Ark map. Scorched Earth could be ran for a while on a 2nd server (if possible), with us eventually bringing dinos over (as the new features allow this).

This would give a reason to play the new DLC, but keep the time and effort in the centre intact...

That's far more in line with what I was thinking, never to move away from the center, more like just take a holiday in the desert...

Could we not just start SE as a server and those who want to try it do so. No obligation or pressure to move from the centre?
Thats the benefit from owning our own server, we can offer up the option. If it would hurt other servers then we should wait of course.

I don't mind but it's Oldie that will need to do the work on it TBH.

Worth running a scorched earth server as the start of our ark nights?

I'm happy to run a server so long as the majority of our active membership have it and are happy to play it. However, my biggest worry is that people will exclusively play Scorched Earth and, once again, we're leaving people behind and splitting the playerbase.

Would people be happy to play Scorched Earth on an intermittent basis for the time being? Random thought but what about if we turned if off and only had it active on set nights to start with?

I would prefer exactly that, pen. Then we don't lose the centre as the 'hub'.

Can we link both together? I read that Scotched Earth isn't meant to be a home environment but somewhere you go to raid and achieve goals like tame a dragon or do some killing to level up to get specific engrams.

Oldie is already looking at spinning up an Ark Server and seeing about linking the two worlds together.

Apparently it's not the easiest of things to accomplish so bear with us.
