Re: Server wipe?
Has TPG considered being vocal about the servers it hosts? As in making posts on Reddit, related forums, idk. I don't really do the social media thing... but I can imagine if there was a presence on Facebook, twitter, reddit, or whatever it would go a long way.
I thought about what I would do to find a server and I would just google it. So I typed the following:
"ARK, PVP, Friendly, Team speak".... it was ALL steam community and reddit hits for people advertising their ARK server.
I don't think its worth doing a wipe or changing the server name if the effort isn't going to be put in to draw more people in. It should be easy. There is already a server, there is already TeamSpeak, there is already a community forum with people that post about the game... you would think we have a huge leg up compared to some start up group of people.

Re: Server wipe?
It would seem as though we have a good leg up, but our population in the game isn't that great. The advertising could very well work, but what exactly are we going to advertise? A server with 3 big groups that's already established or a server with a fresh wipe that welcomes new players?

If what you claim is true that everything we know/have can be redone in a week what exactly does a wipe get us other than a week of regrinding for those who do play? Anyone new who doesn't join within a day or two of the wipe is going to be behind the groups who play regularly anyway.

Re: Server wipe?
You could level that fast, absolutely, but if i recall, I said you'd be back to having metal bases within a month, not a week.
You can be pessimistic about it all you wan't but at least it gives a chance. We have several people who are willing to go outside the realm and advertise/promote the server. What else can we do at this point. Let things sit the way they are? Let the 3 large groups duke it out and get bored? At least we're trying something here.
Christ, it's nothing but double edged swords around here.

Re: Server wipe?
I'm not trying to be a dick man, but it seems as though you have something to add to everything. We don't change, you give us shit. We suggest change, you give us shit. We need solutions and ambition, not "this won't work" "that won't work" Let's try to be constructive here,lets look into some other alternatives. The advertising notion is good, let's roll with that.
If the server wipes on Monday, that gives us ample time to get the word out on a fresh server. Also gives us opportunity to load the thing up on, say...next Friday or Saturday.Last edited by Warprosper; 09-29-15 at 02:11 PM.
