Lost Character when transferring to another server.

[♥ αвѕι∂ууу ♥]

So today i was about to transfer from map "the center" to "Aberration" and next thing i see is an error that said something about code 200.. then my game crashed, then when i checked on both servers, my character was nowhere to be found even in the ark cloud. Can anyone help??

Then you have no option but to put in a support ticket @ survivetheark.com

But be warned... lost characters are generaly that.... lost.

Thats because character saves are server side... same as every online game ever.

Singleplayer... your side.

One of the big issues with servers is how they handle character data during transfers. You upload and you no longer exist on the original server.

If you download to another server, and that server then crashes or otherwise rolls back... POOF! your character is gone.

There is NO validation of either server about potential missed character files. Even the backup files of player profiles are deleted when they transfer off of a server. Its a really inefficient and error prone process.
