Finding the right ARK server
Unofficial servers differ a lot. These points help you choose.
- PvE or PvP: In PvE you build in peace; in PvP others can attack your base.
- Rates: Higher rates save time; slower rates feel closer to the original.
- Mods: Check which mods the server uses beforehand.
- Wipes: Ask whether and when the server gets wiped.
- Community: An active Discord and fair admins often matter more than any rate.
