Primarily from the world of ARK Survival Evolved and occasionally from the new but incomplete ARK Survival Ascended version!

 

Caballus - New Rotation Map

Caballus is a world born from heat. Formed from lava, cooled and solidified in the wild sea. The largest of the Caballus islands. The still intact volcano has, over millennia, created a multifaceted world with a wide variety of biomes, resources, and life forms. This piece of land did not remain uninhabited for long. Ancient nomads first reached the coast of neighboring islands until they discovered the wealth of resources on Caballus. The various nations were all horse-riding peoples: numerous, strong, and experienced in war; always aiming for prosperity and progress.

Server relocation (IP address)

As announced on Discord, the server move is taking place today, THU 08.08.2024 (throughout the day). Only the IP address has changed, so if you have saved links to the server, you need to update them. Server name, ports, etc. remain the same.

New server for cluster

This week I purchased a new and faster server, which also provides enough reserves for the future (the current one would currently be completely sufficient as well). I plan to completely migrate our cluster by mid-August. All game saves will be transferred 1:1, and there will likely be a disruption for about half a day in early August.

One night, after drowning her sorrow in pills and wine, she suddenly wakes up in the middle of a vast ocean. After fleeing from a large, attacking shark, she is soon washed up on a strange beach.

After realizing that both of them arrived in this world in the same way, Bob teaches Helena the art of survival.

Svartalfheim - Additonal Rotation Map

On the untouched, icy shores of Svartalfheim, a new map created by Nekatus for ARK: Survival Evolved, players can expect an adventure that delves into the depths of Norse myths and legends. Surrounded by rugged landscapes, mysterious caves, and the eternal twilight of the North, this land calls out to fearless explorers. Players have the opportunity to lose themselves in a world shaped by ancient gods and inhabited by powerful creatures immortalized in old stories.
