"Realms" RP Server-Coming 2022 * Seeking Help.

[War Seer]

The new map Lost Island has me interested in Ark again. So I began searching for an RP server to join. Sadly I have not had much luck. While the servers I have looked into have friendly people, most of them have Admins who dictate how you can play on their server. Now I love great lore and stories. I also understand the need for server rules. But extreme "play it our way or else" servers do not interest me.

For instance, a server demanded I play in one of 4 factions. I just wanted to play and meet new people. I was new and just learning the game again and I was kicked on the second day for playing by my lonesome. Yet another server required that I select a class. Farmer, Builder, Warrior, etc. Once you select your class you can NEVER change it. EVER. Each class could only tame certain creatures and use certain gear. Oh and don't get me started on mods. One server I tried had 46 mods that needed to load before you could ever log in. FORTY SIX. o.o

So after thinking it over, I have decided to create a new rp server that will allow a tad more freedom to the players. A server with rules but not to the extreme. A server with mods but not FORTY SIX. o.o

It has been over 3 years since I was an admin on the Wildlands server, so I am a bit rusty. So If there are players out there with an interest in helping me make this server, please msg me in Steam. I can fill you in on what I want to do and you can see if it is something that would interest you. Players with admin experience is a plus but beggars cannot be choosers. haha. I think with a good team, we could make something amazing. But only time will tell.

I hope to hear from you. :)

New Discord now live. https://discord.gg/Kj4Nw3JMzB

Holy s%*$! This guy was a legend on Wildlands. Perhaps the best bad guy to ever take on that roll. I still remember that battle on the plains of Ragnarok. It was the greatest large scale battle I had ever been involved in. It is great to see your return to Ark. I would be very excited to know more about what you have in mind. Do you have a discord?

[Zyndi]

Welcome back! I had the pleasure of playing on your old Wildlands server in 2018. You were a great bad guy character, but one that wasn't afraid to lose a fight. Your ability to make normal players feel powerful was a welcome change. That is something I will always remember. Anyone interested in great rp and something special should definitely keep this new server on their radar.

I sent you a friend request and hope to hear from you soon. Ditto on a discord request.

So excited!

[War Seer]

We are still working on the early plans for the server and a server discord has not been made. We have just been discussing plans on Zyndi's DC server. THANK YOU Z! More info and a newer thread will be made once we are ready to go live. Info I can share is that this server will not limit you to a class or a trade skill. Players will be free do play their way. I do not want to give out more information until we are closer to going live. But I can say that this server will be unique but not restrictive.

Thank you to the people who have contacted me with interest in helping out. There is still room for a couple more if anyone is interested. Just msg me for an invite to Zyndi's discord for now . Happy New Year all!

I sent a friend request. I love any server that lets you play your way and I hate being a server admins puppet. Plus any server that gets a *bump* from actual players and not an admin doing so to keep their server from dying, is a server worth playing on.

Not to poke a bear but a discord for your own server should be a priority. You should make one asap, because I think you are going busy with Rpers looking for something new. Very very busy. ٩(＾◡＾)۶

i to have just came back to ark after 2 years away , do you have a use for a builder ive done a lot for a lot of people with ark ,i would love to help out in some way

[MelloFox]

I'm coming back after a long break due to all of my friends getting sick of ark lol. But I used to admin on an RP server a lot like what your describing. It was a lot of fun, but I haven't been able to find another RP server with that sort of freedom. So I would love to help out on a project like this if you have a spot left.

[georg_ie]

This has hope im very excited to see what you do, I'm here to play and support please do this it seemed like a good rp server is extinct at the moment

[War Seer]

I was not expecting such a response. I have never had so many new friend requests. haha. I was going to get a server with around 50 player slots but it appears I'll need more than that based on the amount of friend requests.

I am kind of getting excited to. I think together we can make an RP server that is driven by the players and not the admins. Zyndi is assisting me with Discord which I know nothing about. I've joined discords but never made one. /facedesk. I am working on the rule set.... yeah there will be server rules. :P We will link this information onto the new discord once completed. Basic stuff like no kill on sight and the like. Rules to add to RP but not to force it. We have also starting talking about mods. The server will have them but no more that 20. I want players to have quick load times and no server issues when we see new patches. I have so many plans I want share but I have to remain tight lipped for now. UGH!

There is still plenty of room for people interested in this world we are going to build. One can never have too many Steam friends. :) I welcome input on mods we should use.

[Kasha]

So after reading some of your server plans and talking with you personally, I am in LOVE with your ideas. I know I know, I cannot spill the beans here and now. But I just had to say that your idea for the admins is incredibly brilliant. I don't think saying that will get me in trouble. (¬‿¬) Your idea will guarantee no admin abuse. Truly brilliant.

I have told a few of my friends that play on a current rp server and they will leave that server as soon as this one goes live. Reason being what you mentioned Gyda, long mod load times on it. You might want to get a server with 100 slots. No. really!

[Chadicus Raticus]

Would definitely want to be apart of this sent a friend request on steam

Yeah some servers are so mod heavy. One game patch and you could lose everything. I think that is also the reason why so many servers have wipes every now and again. Fewer mods should make the server more stable, thus fewer wipes/season.

War, you might want to toss out some kind of ETA on your server release as well as some of the rules. *cough* discord *cough*. I know several of my rp friends are standing by to know more.

[War Seer]

I am not going to rush this Gyda. First step was to find like minded players to assist with server settings and setup. The server will be primitive with limited access to primitive firearms, a possibility. This is still being discussed and by no means has been finalized. Discord should be created this week with server testing soon after. People interested in assisting with testing need only contact me with a friend request or msg via steam. At this time there are no plans to restrict access to the server with a whitelist, though that has been discussed.

Here is some more server information....

Now this may be the make it or break it for some people. It will be a NO FLIER server, with fast travel achieved through the use of DRUIDIC WAYGATES. A mod being made by a friend. These are primitive looking stones, that are similar to teleporters but without the tech look. There will still be access to flying beasts, but they will be given out as rewards. This reward system will be discussed in full detail later. But what I can tell you is these rewards are not going to fall upon exclusive players. I am not a fan of giving out rewards for players that donate to a server. My server will be paid for by me and donations will not be ask for. It is safe to say, good rpers, builders and over all nice people will see a reward from time to time dropped on their doorstep. :)

No fliers is a bit of a bummer but your use of druid stones should be fine for speedy travel. And your reward system sounds more than fair. I do hate servers that give perks to players for donating cash. I'm poor! =(

Msg me a discord link as soon as it is made please. I am super excited to get on this server.

[TheRealR3PLAY]

I have close to 5k hours in Ark and honestly every cluster now is pretty much the same so I decided to scout out and look for something different and I actually came upon this post by accident when looking to see if any Prim+ servers still existed and honestly I am glad I did. I love the sound of it, will be looking forward to hearing/seeing more on it.

[WardenX]

How is this project going? I took a long break from ark and hosting servers...I have help run many and looking to be a player but open to playing a RP role if needed. I have 5 years of DND RP experience and week one ark experience.
