Just closed my server because there seemed to be less interest than a year ago.
We actually hit rank 22 out of over 16,000 servers listed on arkservers.net before me and my admin decided to take an extended break. Left the server in someone else's hands and lost a lot of player base. Reopened a couple months ago but couldn't put the time into "marketing" the server.
I did commission a custom mod to add a solid currency in game. Basically a new resource that's mined from stone, metal and obsidian.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that from skimming through this thread it looks like the server is gone?
If so, and if we have enough interest in ARK, say 20 people at least, I'd be more than happy to provide the server and maintenance.
I would want to have a "sign up" thread showing the interest. I may also need an admin or two. As I know my former admin (she's awesome!) is stuck in WoW with its new content.
Hit me up and let me know! :)
