Welcome to Throwback BBS ARK: Evolved!
I’ve setup three servers in a cluster so once you’re high enough level you can move your established character and dinos from the easier map (The Island) to another easy map (The Center) and then to the intermediate and more rewarding one (Ragnarok) if you like.
Make sure to click the link “Install the Beta” on the left before joining!
Links to launch the game and connect to the servers are in the sidebar Servers page. I’d suggest connecting to The Island or The Center first if you’ve never played before. I’m playing on The Island at the moment.
There’s also a Discord invite link up top. It’s all bare bones at the moment, but I’ll be setting it up shortly.
I plan on putting a new dedicated server together with a 16 core CPU, 2TB NVMe M.2 drive, and 64GB of RAM to run 7-8 clustered maps at first, then with an additional 64GB RAM I’ll move that up to all 12 (link to the parts list).
