Bukanier.org ASA wird geschlossen
The ARK cluster bukanier.org will be permanently shut down by the end of July at the latest. The decision was definitely made internally yesterday, Friday (26.06.2026). All savegames and configurations will be provided as a download.
There is a migration option
We have reached an agreement with the friendly cluster "ARK ME HARDER": You can transfer your character, your tames, blueprints, and the most important resources there once. For the migration, I will probably massively increase the weight on our cluster for a short time and provide a pickup gun (Structure Management Tool). This joint transfer is expected to take place on a weekend in July.
What awaits you on the new cluster:
- A small but fine and friendly community in DE and EN (Super Admin Nana)
- Primarily PvE (all official maps + DLCs)
- A PvP season map with admin raid bases and special loot
- Slightly increased rates (farming & taming x15, breeding x25, blueprint quality x3.4),
- Multiple bases on different maps possible; tribe size fixed at 2, however alliances are possible.
What's next?
- If you are interested, join the ARK ME HARDER Discord: https://discord.gg/qmtWnAHbB6
- Search for the server in-game for "ARK ME HARDER" to test the setup in advance.
- Sign up for the migration planning with me via ticket or direct message.
- Updates will then follow with further steps
Why is the cluster being shut down?
There are several reasons. On one hand, we are struggling with rising hosting costs once again (a hardware upgrade that would be necessary in the future - for more maps - would currently cost - no joke - almost 600 EUR per month). On the other hand, I have been actively playing on "ARK ME HARDER" myself since summer 2025. When real life kicks in on top of that, the time and motivation to continue operating our own server unfortunately fall by the wayside.
