  • ✅ Top level hardware and bespoke server builds
  • ✅ Custom management and automation scripts
  • ✅ State of the art monitoring system
  • ✅ Fair play and community events with classic ARK feel

So why are we better than your current servers?

We have spent months preparing. We are running top level hardware, bespoke server builds, custom management and automation scripts, plus a state of the art monitoring system. The goal is simple. You get the very best ARK experience.

Our focus is on a home for players who value fair play and community events without losing the classic ARK experience. Grind is reduced, not removed. Toxic behaviour is out. Good vibes are in.
