Higher server capacity?

[Bansheedragon]

I was wondering if it was somehow possible to increase the capacity of the servers?
70 max capacity seems so outdated, and I would think that with todays technology we would be capable of at least 100-120 people?

The reason I ask is because all servers seems to be full and as a result most of the time its almost impossible to get in on the server I have been playing on with a friend for the last few days, and I'm not very keen on starting over on a different server.

+1 to 120 ASAP! Shouldn't be hard to do, but who knows, maybe they're cheap and don't want to pay for bigger servers.

in my official server, i dont have a slot to enter... ;(

There are 130 person unofficial servers.

I suspect they are working on improving the official servers, and that eventually they will have more slots. Right now, even at 70, there's awful rubberbanding/lag on official servers.

But, larger servers isn't going to solve your problem. More people will just play on fewer servers.

We need at least 100. This is getting borring to always see the same people arround, we feel alone with 70 on this big map tbh, please increase

I dont understand, how can there be more people on fewer severs if they increase the capacity on the existing servers?

... Wth, the map is super tiny. You see half assed buildings everywhere and you want to increase it? I believe 70 is even too much.

70 is the ebst you can do. I've been on servers with a larger population. They begin to lag like hell, presumably because the server isn't able to keep up with the computations. This isn't taking into account the map size constraints.

[Bansheedragon]

Well if not larger servers, then more servers.
I for one would like to be able to play when I have the time to do so and on the same server.
Having to wait for hours on end just to get in or have to start over on multiple servers just to be able to play is no fun.

The server side application is single threaded...so what matters is CPU core clock on the server side. Many are limited. Our server has 100 slots and runs great on the special fast hardware we have it on. Join us: 38.127.3.2:27015
There are over 2500 unofficial servers....just open your steam server browser and adjust the filter to look for ark games :)

What about player preferences? Old player before new player... And bigger servers
