ARK Server

How experienced are you in ARK: SE (2017) ?
Not at all.
I spawned on a beach once, was made deadeded and uninstalled.
I poked around with it a couple of times but never stuck with it long.
I've played causally off and on for years.
Veteran of the Dodo Wars with thousands of hours.
I have lived ARK as if my real life was just a dream. (10k+ hours)

What kind of ARK experience are you looking for in this Cluster? (Check all that apply.)
NEW PLAYER - I'm new, I don't know yet, I want an experience where I can learn.
PVE - Can't a guy just breed a few hundred thousand dinos in peace?
PVP - What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their kin.
ROLEPLAY - Let's open a tavern so we can drink while Ed the dino breeder tries to sell his latest stock and Sally the barbarian looks for anyone to fight her.
HARDCORE SURVIVAL - You're just a beach-Bob, I've had to hide in a shelter made of Rex dung for 3 days with broken legs to make it past the raptor swarms once.
CUDDLY UTOPIA - You get unicorn! You get unicorn! You get unicorn!
MIXED / BALANCED - Lite RP, with aspects catering to everyone's taste where possible.

Group Size you're interested in? (Check all that apply.)
Solo Life - I prefer to make my own house in the middle of nowhere
Small Tribe - Just a couple of people in a small base enjoying life.
Large Tribes / Towns - Many hands makes everything work.
Stream Community Tribe - I want to play with my streamer and fellow chatters.

What is more important to you?
GRAPHICS - It must be as pretty as possible or I can't play.
FPS - Performance must be maxed out at all times, if I'm not getting 60fps why bother?
Utility & Features - I can handle playing with reduced graphics & FPS for the tradeoff of more things possible in world.

When starting out fresh I prefer:
Survival Experience - Give me nothing, I will forge my own path.
Where is my villa & hottub? I want to be kitted out immediately in the finest golden armor and in a comfy castle.
A little help from my friends - Some low level basic equipment to make the first time spawn experience not so painful would be nice, but I don't want everyting handed to me.

How do you feel about the concept of "SAFE ZONES" where conflict between players is strictly not allowed, but that outside of those safe areas combat is allowed within reason and rules?
I think they provide a great place for players not interested in PVP to thrive.
I think it's pointless.
I'd have to have it explained more in depth.

How do you feel about the concept of "PVP ZONES" where conflict between players is freely allowed within rules and reason, but that outside of those PVP areas combat is NOT allowed and strictly enforced?
I think it provides a great area for people seeking PVP to get their fun.
I think it's pointless to set aside an area for PVP.
I'd have to have it explained more in depth.
