(Long post, sorry! Scroll to bottom for important stuff. Also check out our new website at Beyond-Ark.com for more information)

Sorry for the absence! There’s been a lot going on over the holidays, so I’ve just been stocking up on photos to post once everything had settled down. I hope everyone had fun, safe holidays!

So we decided to take a break from our normal servers, and join up with a boosted pvp server (we’ve never done pvp before). It was a lot of fun until a couple of jerk players decided to personally attack my 5yo daughter over the mic and hurt her so bad it took my wife 2 hours to make her sure of herself again.

So we left everything with one of our allies, who are going to raid with those kids to gain their trust, find out where their base is, and then obliterate them to the ground using our dinos and equipment as payback for what they did.

So here is the result of that... we enjoyed being on a pvp server, but we want it done our way with our rules where bullying is not allowed. So that’s exactly what we’ve done!

Effective later today (1/6/19) we are opening a public pvp server on PS4! The server is called Beyond Ark - Ragnarok - 25x Boosted!

Everyone is welcome to join, but we have a couple of rules.

First! The admins are passive and off limits. We will not be partaking in any raiding. We are there to do our own thing and maintain the health of the server. Raiding us, or attempting to do so, will result in a foundation wipe.

Second! Bullying of any kind is not tolerated. Normal banter and pvp gameplay and competition, etc is expected, but there is a line where it becomes inappropriate. Be a decent human being and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

Alright everyone, the server is live! If you want a fun, safe place to play on a pvp server with a no bullying policy, come join us! Check out the web page for the server using the link above!

Servername: Beyond Ark - Ragnarok - 25x Boosted

Platform: PS4

So after two days of constant headaches on our new server, we are now in a worse situation than when we started. Nitrado is having issues with some of their servers that is causing huge amounts of lag, and continuous server crashes. Yesterday and today the server crashed at least once an hour and didnt come back online for 20 minutes or so...

As of writing this post, our server has now been down for 2 and a half hours!!! I’ve submitted tickets, but of course they are going to be snails to respond.

So for those of you on here who have joined our server, I sincerely apologize for all the issues. Please be patient with us. Believe me, if there was something else I could do to fix it I would...

Aside from the issues, our server is actually doing pretty well. We are averaging around 10 players on at a time, and have gotten some pvp battles going! Ill be posting some screenshots taken in spectator mode while the fighting is going on, but I will not be calling out specific base locations. Unfortunately there’s no way to 100% prevent knowing where a base is at based on certain environment clues, but I will do what I can. If you are interested in joining our server, come check out our website!

I’m sure some of you have been wondering what’s happened to the screenshots and the actual content posts...don’t worry, I’m downloading 270 screenshots to my flashdrive as I’m writing this, so there will be plenty of new content coming very soon. Here’s a sneak peak!

To be completely honest, it was super busy over the holidays for family stuff, and work has been pretty crazy, and we wanted to make sure our new server was up and running and it’s taken a lot of time to write up the game.ini modifications. So now that all of that is done and the server itself (outside of Nitrado’s hardware issues) is pretty much stable, I can start pushing out new content again, and now I can hopefully add some PVP into the mix!
