Hey Survivors, after careful assessment of our data, we've opted to commence the process of sunsetting a selection of our inactive official servers.

Our goal is to ensure that we're always delivering the best experience possible, and official servers exist to give the community a shared space to play without the need for private hosting. When we launch fresh content, typically, we put up more servers than we need in the long term to match the peak in user capacity; over time, these servers become ghost towns as players have dropped off and are waiting for the next major content release.

On the 20th of May, we will be sunsetting these inactive servers:

Stampeding into Ragnarok with a whole lotta fluff and zero chill, the Bison is your horned heavyweight champion of headbutts and highland havoc! This community-voted bruiser isn’t just bringing brute force, (though trust us, it’s got plenty of that) it’s also packing some surprisingly nourishing qualities for those wise enough to keep it close. Whether it’s terrorizing would-be threats or just being the burly barnyard buddy you didn’t know you needed, the Bison is ready to make its mark, one glorious thud at a time.



The Bison thunders onto the ARK with the launch of Ragnarok on June the 2nd. From snow-capped peaks to sun bathed meadows, this bovine behemoth is ready to make the wilds of Ragnarok its stomping ground!

Happy Scavenger Hunt!

Last week, some unexpected guests clawed their way into the ARK, and if your base has a few more hairballs than usual, you can probably thank our mischievous feline friends for that.

But don’t put your baskets away just yet! Next week, the Eggcellent Adventure is hopping into gear! Expect pastel-colored mayhem, oversized ears, and more eggs than a dodo daycare.

And for those of you setting your sights on new horizons, the wait is over! Astraeos transfers have officially opened, so it’s time to pack your bags and bring your hard-earned progress wherever adventure calls.

Let’s bunny-hop right in!

Happy Scavenger Hunt!


A patch that went out today included a fix for Cryo Fridges not updating their power state until opened. This should have been communicated in advance so it could have been prepared for and it was an error on our part that we hadn’t. Unfortunately, the outcome is that some cryopods have expired in cryofridges after their states were correctly updated with the recent patch. Our team took temporary measures to disable transfers while we reviewed the data to determine whether a rollback would be a viable option.

One key aspect that affects the decision of whether to rollback or not relates to transfers, and, given the timing with Astraeos, transfers are at an all time high. After reviewing our data to assess how much would be lost in uploads (in short: a lot), we made the difficult call not to rollback the saves as it would result in greater loss for a larger group of players. This preserves players’ uploaded items, creatures, and in many cases, their characters.

Honestly, this was a very difficult decision, rollbacks are never straightforward and they always come with some risk, however in this case the risk is guaranteed (due to the immense volume of transfers) and would cause more loss.

This wasn’t how we wanted the fix to land, and we really feel for anyone who lost dinos because of it so we’re going to make some imminent changes to our evolution event and easter rate plans to help compensate for the loss.

To support affected players, we’ll be running 3x rates this weekend including breeding, and also plan to continue 3x rates including breeding every weekend (Friday 1 PM PST to Monday 1 PM PST) during Eggcellent Adventures, with the planned regular event 2x rates including breeding throughout the weekdays while the event is active.

Thank you for your patience and we sincerely apologize to those impacted.




Official Astraeos transfers are now fully open, allowing players to move items, creatures, and characters onto the map without restriction! Please pack your dodos in bubble-wrap.
