[Wiped 28/02] LegacyOfArk PvP Island - 8x Rates

Legacy of Ark aims to recapture that initial feeling of awe and exploration of our early ark experiences. As such there will be a full ‘official’ cluster of maps (once the funding has been raised through Patreon) and a focus once again on Dinosaur-based gameplay. To explain this, many folks have gotten a little fed up with the PvP of ark being a largely 'on foot'-based affair. Here dinosaurs have been rebalanced to make the PvE aspects of the game more of a challenge. Wild dinosaurs are much stronger versus tamed dinosaurs. The other main goals here are Persistent Gameplay (the server may eventually wipe, but it will not be a regular/periodic occurrence) and a generally Enjoyable Gaming Experience.

Before anyone gets worried about balance however, the heavy turrets have been removed to reflect the weaker dinosaurs along with removing the turret limit. To go with the removal of heavy turrets, beer has been removed so you will no longer be able to run into turrets in your birthday suit without severe risk to your health! Also boss fights will be no easy-feat with the difference in strength between boss and tamed dinosaur being greater. Our hope is to make the game challenging again, and that survivors will discover new metas to revive some of the more stale parts of Ark.

There will be no 'rules' or building restrictions on the server beyond those imposed by the map itself. There is no passive protection. There is no shop of any kind, if you want something then you need to farm for it or steal it from someone else (there will never be any pay-to-win features on the server). However every player will be expected to follow the Code of Conduct which can be found on the server Discord (see below). The admin(s) will NOT be spawning in any items or creatures for anyone under any circumstances. This server aims to be run like an official server in that sense, so don't go asking for an admin in-game. The admin’s role is to set-up the server, run the server and manage the discord, nothing else. Admin Logging is Enabled so that you can all be confident nothing untoward is occurring.

For those interested as I’ve already mentioned there is a Patreon for the server (https://www.patreon.com/Aliary), this is to allow the server to thrive and grow. There will be no in-game rewards for contributions, only recognition in the server discord.
