King of the Ark is the second addition to our server group Ark: Origins. This event mode is designed for a fast pace, run and gun PvP experience similar to Rust.

The blueprint system is different then we are normally use to with Ark; most of the games engrams have been removed and added to every color supply crate in game. Highest engram building tier is up to wood along with armor being up to Hide.

We have made it easier for users to obtain weapons for fighting and survival if they encounter any threat. New players will have access to the Pistol (Origins) and ammunition from level 1, while our other weapons are unlocked at slightly higher levels. These weapons offer better accuracy but provide weaker damage then there counter-parts and are very susceptible to breaking. Crafting these starter weapons do not provide character experience, but are cheap to make and effective when needed.

Reference:

• Lv. 1 - Pistol (Origins) + Ammo [2Points]
  
• Lv. 10 - Shotgun (Origins) + Ammo [20Points]
  
• Lv. 20 - Rifle (Origins) + Ammo [40Points]

There is no weight limit for common resources which are obtained through gathering / farming of land / water resources. Allowing you to hold thousands of pounds of materials while moving around, providing more a of Rust feel to the game.

Every supply crate from white to red will have the same loot tables as the others in regards to structure blueprints, armor blueprints and weapon blueprints, so any level player could obtain any level blueprint. While white supply crates will only hold a maximum of primitive grade items, the green, blue, purple, yellow and red drops will hold corresponding item grades to their colors.

Some item blueprints will be rare and hard to obtain, such as an Auto Turret, while other item blueprints, such as a Large crop plot blueprint will be more common among-st base defense supply crate blueprints, This also applies to offensive position supply crates, such as Rocket Launchers and C4 Detonators and some saddles blueprints.

During the nights of 12:00 and 2:00 game time, Raptor Claus will fly over randomly dropping gift supply crates, after which he will fly off and disappear. This extension was originally designed for The Island but has seemed to work quite well for Scorched Earth and adds more to the Rust feeling of cargo plane air drops.

Edit: This event has ended.

Until next post, take care friends.

Server will be down for maintenance at 3:00PM PST for a few hours. Our server center is updating hardware and will require some time to come back online.

Thank you for understanding.

Until next post, take care friends.

The Infidel.

Edit: Server is back online. Thanks for your patients everyone.

We have traveled to the vast vistas of Thieves Island and have withstood the elements of Scorched Earth but we have come to a new chapter of our story. A chapter that leads us back to our roots ... our origins ... and the very place our journey began. The Island.

Welcome to The Island. The Island we operate is not much different from the one you first grew to love. We have kept the server to the core and have only boosted rates to compliment players with limited time schedules. Explore again, what you have explored 5 times before ... with this new Vanilla, Boosted Rates, Ark Survival Evolve; The Island server, a server with big nuts, nuts to fill an entire bowl, a bowl I could use to give you a haircut. Nobody wants my nut bowl on their head to give haircuts, so play the The Island instead.

Server will be released Oct, 3rd 2016 @ 12:00PM PST.

There appears to have been an update pushed by WC that has broken a lot of the original functionality of the map along with breaking the ADK Editor. This has caused a delay in the development and has caused the map errors.

The map is currently being repaired and all issues should be ironed out shortly. I am not sure what effect this will have on the servers tames or structures, but we do have backups if anything does happen.

We ask you to be patient and hopeful. I will keep you updated with any new information I obtain.

Until next post, take care friends.
