is the server going to reboot? the server is still 207 and its been more than the auto reboot time. Just wondering if that setting got reset to default when they changed to 207. thanks

there it is yay!!

Is the "Claiming Allowed" setting going to be turned on?

Apparently there is a problem with it:

But if it gets fixed I am weighing on whether or not to enable it. People may return and they will want their dinos to be there.

Good point, just wondering since alot of ppl on the server was trying to do it the past few days, but could on other servers.

how have things been going?

Well I'm a full time college student and I work 30+ hours a week, which is why I haven't been online. So you could say I'm quite busy . Maybe one day some nice person will donate $10,000 so I don't have to work so damn much to pay for the server cost

Oh, i remember those days. I just work full-time with some OT. I really should go back to school though soon.

Im willing to help with what I can. So far, im trying to answer questions that other ppl have on the server(I try to read the patch-notes daily and the digest). I wont bug ya unless I really have to


I was also thinking about doing some events that might peak interest, like summoning the broodmother and what-not. I want to do this for my tribe, but I am tossing the idea around for it to be a global event.


Edit: just a side thought; I see the server slots are 70, but I never see more than 15 players at a time, so would it be possible to take the amount of slots down to half or less than 30? it would be cheaper right? Or would that be a server wipe?

I'll work on some events when we have a fuller server, and I own my own machine so I don't pay for slots, I pay "rent" essentially.

I just wanted to make a short point on this one, Baron.

From the start, I just want to first say I respect your decision either way(enable claiming, or not). What I want to point out that(since I have been on this server daily) I notice alot of dinos owned by many tribes that have not been on for many weeks, have been dieing of starvation. I have witnessed this with my own eyes. In short, I only suggest enabling claiming for the sake of if we dont claim idle dino's, the dino's will just die off anyway.

Just wanted to point that out.

ps. the bug is fixed.

Hello,
I hope things are going well! We wish we saw you more, but we understand about RL.
i'd hate to be the guy that revives old posts, but I wanted to mention this here since its the same subject.

Wife and I have been playing on this server daily and we were talking about this subject again. We notice that tribes start up for a few weeks, tame dino's, and never come back. We have noticed this for months. There is alot of clutter on the server and we would like the claiming allowed to be turned on.

Consider us the "ASPCA of Ark"

Just a thought, have a good one.
