How unofficial servers would save this game…

ARK: ULTIMATE MOBILE EDITION ONLY

(Warning, long read)

Mods, please don’t remove this post. Im not begging, not truly complaining, I’m simply truth telling and giving my opinion and feedback..

The truth is, this game is dead. It’s so forgotten about that the developers are removing servers to push the remaining population into a few servers and make the game seem more full. But there’s a reason that the game slacked off after launch. Every single server used to be full 24 hours a day. You had to spam join until it kicked someone….

The truth of the matter is crashes, rollbacks, optimization, and lack of content for people who don’t want to spend a dime on this game. Hell, I have an iPhone 16 pro and can’t play the game without the resolution all the way down and shadows off. The FPS is just unbearable. Can’t imagine how it is with lower gen phones.

And the rollback and crashes are insane. I can’t count the number of times I’ve lost so many stuff from them. And let’s not forget how impossible it is for new players these days. Meks roaming around on official servers slinging giant swords at stone bases. The alpha tribes stay rich while the beginners keep restarting. If you were rich from the start you will always be rich and nobody ever gets a chance. There needs to be a change.

Which is why I and basically the whole community proposes unofficial servers on this new ark mobile. While it doesn’t solve all the issues like performance, it does solve a lot.

We can identify and eliminate exploiters with the server hosts carefully monitoring their server’s player base. The hosts can help the beginners and create equal gameplay without any buffs or OP weapons. The content will be now endless since those that haven’t purchased other maps can get other Dinos, structures, and items from the server hosts. (Even though I really think that making EVERY other map be payed should be reconsidered)

People can play with their friends without the worry of hackers, meks swinging at their stone huts, and Chinese tribes wiping the server at night. They can build in areas they previously couldn’t from behemoth gate spam. Ride Tek ATVs together and don’t worry about getting raided. I will never understand why they cut the deal for unofficial servers. Please reconsider carefully.
