Hey there, everyone, I'd like to put out an invitation to people to join our ARK: Survival Evolved server. Currently there are only two main factions - my family and their friends, and a group of my friends and myself. I'm open to having more factions show up as long as the people trying to join are those I can trust. What I'd really like, though, is to have our current faction get even larger so we can have more people to work together on some of the larger goals and missions we have been attempting. Veteran players are welcome, but I'd really like to try to find newish people that maybe didn't have the best time on public servers or those that are just wanting to try out the game for the first time. The server is updated regularly (usually within a few hours of the update being released, at the latest the same day unless there are irregular circumstances) and is up 24/7. There is, to my knowledge, no server side lag and both EU and AU players are able to get ~100-120 ping or less. NA players typically get 40-80 ping.
To anyone wishing to join, we can offer full starting sets of equipment and a large supply of materials, as long as you are willing to help tame various dinosaurs and gather required resources for others. If you'd like, you may also just use the main base as a starting location to learn the ropes of the game before branching out and building your own bases with your friends. Everyone in the tribe owns their own dinosaurs and buildings, but we currently have it set so that anyone can access any tribe dinosaur in case of emergency. We trust that people will respect the rules and not mess with anyone else's dinosaurs without permission. If you don't want to join the faction, there are many areas on the island not taken or used that you can set up on with your own group of friends.
The main rules on this server include no trolling, no messing with dinosaurs that do not belong to you, no PvP (unless consented to by both parties) or raiding/stealing, and no blocking off areas of the map that are required for progression (no blocking off caves, basically). Smaller structures that are left unattended for long periods of time (left half destroyed for several days, for example) will be destroyed on sight, whereas larger structures will typically be left standing to add some exploration factor to the game. Please PM me or message me on Steam if you are interested in joining or have any questions!

Card - Setting/FPS
Nvidia 970 - High/45-75 FPS
AMD 7870 - Medium/40-60 FPS
Nvidia 750 - Medium/35-45 FPS, High/25-35 FPS
Nvidia 670 - Medium/20-30 FPS
ATI 5670 - Low/25-30
AMD 6750 - Low/~20 (random drops to 5-10 underwater and in caves)
Known issues:
- When it rains, FPS drops by about 5 on average
- Loading new areas used to cause lag, but none has been reported in a while. I suspect this was server side and has been fixed with an upgraded server.
- People playing on low settings needs to manually change their bloom settings in the graphics menu to see in underwater caves.
- Underwater caves are invisible (represented by a purple opaque square) until you get close to them on medium or lower settings. Normal caves are unaffected by this. Still, if you are swimming to the bottom of the ocean you probably already know where you are going
- When entering a regular cave, people on any setting will experience freezing for about 30 seconds while the server loads the cave (will probably be fixed with an update eventually). Thankfully these are mostly end game and require a prepared group of people to be fully explored, so 30 seconds is negligible.
- Harvesting a large amount of bushes at once with a Brontosaurs will cause ~1 second of lag for everyone in a nearby area.
I'm assuming everyone has 8 GB of RAM or more, since that is fairly standard.
