Our server has been online for 7 days now and let me tell you, I've had a lot of fun watching everyone explore, battle and meet randoms on their travels through the Ark.

Also in those 7 days we have made many adjustments to our server along with the countless hours being put into advertising the server. So, how are we doing in the world of servers? Not bad, not bad at all for a server that just got a name 7 days ago. We are one of the many fish in the pool that are putting their name out there--and it appears to be working to some extent, but I know we can do better. We will do better.

This chart shows how well we are doing and as of this post, our numbers are on the raise in the days and thats great, lets keep those numbers up and hopefully we can start filling those night time slots as well.
