@FluxxRoxx and @Scoobs Server was down for a bit Friday night. Issues with changing map and some addon/mod glitches. It is up and running all weekend. If you still do not see server it is because you do not have map. We are now running The Center. If you try to run a single player game with map and it won't open, go to page and download it. Well worth the effort as it is great and HUGE.
WARNING: You will die alot when start as dinos are tougher and aggressive. Most on in Jungle North, Middle and South. If you want to be near people try that area. If you want to go alone, suggest trying another but again Harder map than before.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=614734500&searchtext=center
I have messed with it in single player a lot and have to say this makes ark a million times better. I'm not going to say where but you can make a underwater base on it. O did i say the map is HUGE!
O and the devs are supporting the center map. It was in there trailer for mods for consoles. \o/ I really recommend you guys try it out in single player if nothing else.
We are using the Valhalla but thinking of changing to the Center.

The lawsuit against ARK: Survival Evolved developer Studio Wildcard appears to have come to a close. Documents filed in the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Florida show the case has been settled between the studio and plaintiffs Trendy Entertainment and investment firm Insight Venture Management, but the ugly nature of the lawsuit appears as if it will not have any immediate impact to the Xbox One and PC game.
Officially, Studio Wildcard is not discussing the lawsuit against it or the settlement at this time. I spoke briefly with co-founder Susan Stieglitz late Friday evening via Twitter direct message, where she told me the $40 million settlement figure reported on by Kotaku and other outlets came from a discussion with a fan who didn’t realize the conversation was not meant to be shared publicly. This echoed similar comments she made publicly on Twitter, including one post claiming Trendy was asking for $600 million.
Documents posted in Florida’s Alachua County Circuit Court tell much of the story in lieu of an official statement from the Studio Wildcard or the Stieglitz couple. Trendy Entertainment and Insight Venture Management have been equally quiet. The lawyers for Studio Wildcard and Jeremy Stieglitz submitted the defense’s 39-page opposition document Monday morning due to the case not officially being closed and a hearing still scheduled for April 27.

It’s a huge game of he said/she said without the likelihood of any sort of official resolution of who was wronged if the settlement goes through. Trendy Entertainment and Insight claim Jeremy Stieglitz violated a non-interference contract by recruiting Trendy developers. Stieglitz’s lawyers counter in Monday’s filings that he never solicited any developers and they either followed him to Studio Wildcard or were recruited by co-founder Jesse Rapczak. Stieglitz’s lawyers also contend Trendy and Insight have provided no proof of solicitation.
Trendy and Insight’s lawyers also accuse Stieglitz of developing a game called Primal Earth while at Trendy Entertainment that would eventually become ARK: Survival Evolved. The objection from Stieglitz’s team is Primal Earth was a pure shooter featuring dinosaurs developed on Unreal Engine 3 and work was done for it after he left Trendy. Meanwhile, ARK: Survival Evolved is an open-world survival game developed on Unreal Engine 4 that shares no commonality aside from the dinosaur theme and a “small portion” of artwork that had to be substantially changed to be compatible with ARK.
Stieglitz and his lawyers main thrust against the competing product argument is ARK: Survival Evolved is completely different from Dungeon Defenders. They belong in different game genres, have different payment models, and are targeted towards different audiences.
It is also pointed out by Stieglitz’s side that Trendy Entertainment and Insight waited until well after his non-compete contract expired, after ARK: Survival Evolved had launched, and after Studio Wildcard was sold to a firm called SDC, Inc before attempting to file the lawsuit in January of this year.

The accusations become even more salacious when it comes to who actually helped co-found Studio Wildcard. Trendy and Insight claim Jeremy originally signed the business documents to formally start the studio, which Stieglitz claimed was an “erroneous and hastily drafted document” with others “flying around at the time.” Co-ownership was later to transferred to Susan Stieglitz under her maiden name, which Trendy points to as a sign of trying to hide Jeremy’s involvement. Jeremy’s signature was also on various business documents, which his lawyers contend he signed for when Susan was not available and he was the one investing money in the studio. Stieglitz and his lawyers argue Jeremy did no development work on ARK: Survival Evolved outside of consulting and funding through his Journey Ventures investment company.
Jeremy Stieglitz had his own accusations against Trendy Entertainment and Insight as part of the defense documents. He argues both companies wronged him when accusations of over-working employees resulted in him being asked to operate a separate development studio, Nom-Nom, with the understanding he would receive a percentage of the profits. The developer created a game called Monster Madness, which was then canceled by Insight before release in order to bring Stieglitz back to work on Dungeon Defenders. This move ultimately led to the split between Jeremy and Trendy along with the existing lawsuit.

As for the evidence, both sides submitted hundreds of pages to defend their positions. All evidentiary documents have been completely redacted, though, preventing anyone from seeing how it holds up for either Studio Wildcard and the Stieglitz couple or Trendy Entertainment and Insight.
The lawsuit from Trendy Entertainment and Insight included seeking an injunction against ARK: Survival Evolved. This would have prevented the game from being sold on Steam and Xbox LIVE if it had been approved by the judge. The settlement means the injunction won’t happen, but the lawsuit had to affect the game’s development.
A new patch to PC version of ARK was delayed from last week to this week. Studio Wildcard is also readying for a PAX East appearance, which compounded the work interruptions. How and if the settlement affects the long-term development of ARK: Survival Evolved and Survival of the Fittest remains to be seen.
This was interesting to me on how it all worked and the design and who owned who...

Not at the moment. Nothing official from courts was ever sent out. This came out last month and looks like all over. Still watching it until June where I heard whispers of Final release being ready....

Non-compete lawsuit against Ark: Survival Evolved maker is reportedly settled
QuoteStudio Wildcard, the developer of Ark: Survival Evolved has reached a settlement with Trendy Entertainment in a breach-of-contract lawsuit, Kotaku reports.
Trendy had sued Wildcard in December alleging that Wildcard's Jeremy Stieglitz had broken the non-compete clause of his contract with Trendy by working closely on Ark: Survival Evolved during the period in which he'd agreed not to work for any other game developer.
Stieglitz had been a creative director for Trendy before leaving in 2014 under a cloud of allegations that he was responsible for a toxic work environment while managingDungeon Defenders, Trendy's most popular title, and development of its sequel, which launched in September 2015.
Ark: Survival Evolved has become a very popular adventure/survival game since it launched on Steam and Xbox Live's early access programs last year. Kotaku reported in March that Stieglitz was in fact Ark's lead designer, violating his contract with Trendy. Trendy also claimed that Wildcard lured away former Trendy employees to work at the new studio.
Susan Stieglitz, Jeremy Stieglitz's wife and Wildcard's co-founder, tweeted on Tuesdaythat Trendy "[wanted $]600 million" in their lawsuit. On Friday, in a direct message to a fan who had asked about settlement terms, Susan Stieglitz said they had settled for "40" but was not more specific.
The only on-the-record notice of the settlement was filed in Gainesville, Fla., where Trendy is based and sought mediation. The notice said mediation on Wednesday ended with "a final written settlement agreement."
Polygon has reached out to representatives of both studios for comment.

Ereosa set up a new server with a few mods and a bit harder tame. PVE only and roleplay friendly....

passwword: YumRoH
Tatye's server is still up and being used so feel free to try one or the other.

Lets See:
Hugs with Friends is the largest Tribe located in hidden Valley. This is Haloa's & Family, Wolf, Red Zack, Tayte (who is mad at game atm) and a few others
Ereosa's Tribe is second largest on west side. (Sorry not in game to look up spelling of Tribe)
Salish Tribe claimed green monolith valley
Knights of the Dodo claimed Southeast beach with free to use camps in Swamp, volcano, snow mountain.
There are a few others going solo
Pretty quiet in way of drama. Most try and help each other and we have a few Tribe Treaties started.

I am going with Aliens doing some sort of experiment or long term project. Taking humans from different times on earth and dropping us on island to see how we live and survive. As this has been going on for some time, I would wager they are good at making us forget how we got here but it would be up to the individual as to if they remember their past or not. There is also the option of being engineered and dropped.
The island is a complete Bionom Ecology Lab. Have fun and enjoy.
I will use local to RP and voice to OOC.

One of the reasons I like Ark is I can roleplay but as the game is still in the works the roleplay is based on what we want it to be. So this said there are some ideas to share and discussions to be had if anyone cares to join me in roleplaying. The below are interesting reads even if not wanting to RP.
Known Facts
- We are on Island
- Dinosaurs are on island
- Humans are dropped aka imported in.
- Artifacts and Obelisks are on island and look to have been there a while.
- Survival Drops are made at random spots and times.
- Someone is watching and/or caring for the island.
- Each of us is embedded with Speciman Implant. This can not be removed but can be viewed.
- The science of our captors is way above any current abilities of earth.
- The Dinosaurs are not quite the same as thought and many are from different periods of earth history.
Unknown Facts
- Not sure if this is Earth
- No idea how humans are dropped
- No idea why humans are dropped on island
- No idea what day/year it is.
Discussion is now open.

Tayte!! We need update PWEASE.
