Hello guys. Assuming anyone even reads this anymore lol. So long story short, the server has been acting up again for the last few days or so. Last time this happened, it was almost a map reset. Considering the low traffic, my busy schedule which prevents people from being able to get in after updates, and the surprisingly high maintenance that an Ark server needs, I'm afraid I'm going to just let it go. At this point, I don't really think a map reset would be necessary. You guys would be better off palying on a server that's run by people that can dedicate more time and energy into maintaining it and keeping it live. I had a lot more free time on my hands when I started the server.. and a much bigger interest in Ark.

Thanks for all the good memories to those that I've met on the server. <3

Server is stable and going strong. At this point, it's safe to say that we have recovered the map, and you're good to resume normal play again.

Today's changes:

- Enabled PVE carry (yay!)
- Disabled structure decay (we're a smaller server so what the hell)
- Increased crop decay time 3x (I know you guys lost some plants)
- Increased dino decay time x3 (Worrying about them during a mod mismatch is no fun!)

Going forward, I will be sure to manually move the backup files into another directory so they don't get "corrupted" along with the current save again.

In the meantime, I'm working on the v-day event for this weekend. Hopefully I'll have it going within the next couple of hours.

Server has been stable all day. Just added in the Joan's mods and it's still going strong. We're only missing the refrigerated trough and grinder at this point. I'm leaving it up all night. If it's good tomorrow, I'd say we're in the clear and we can resume playing.

We now have several mods going and the server is still functioning normally. I'm thinking we may be able to keep this map. For those of you that saved your dinos, you'll probably have duplicates now. You can log in today to keep anymore decay from happening. I'll be taking it down a little later to add in the last few mods one at a time to make sure everything is good to go. Since the server was stable for about half of the day today with a few mods, I'm very hopeful that the current map can be saved.

Thanks for your patience for those of you reaching out and not being able to play. By tomorrow evening, we'll either have this map up in all its glory.. or we'll have a new map. Either way, you'll all be able to play again!

I'm planning to do the V-day event since we missed it when it went live previously. That'll be this weekend.

I got a backup to load with dragons and AA. Seems to be stable at the moment. I recommend getting your dragons saved. I'll be leaving it up for a few hours to see if it stays stable, or if it's going to start crashing again. If it crashes, please leave a message here and I'll restart it for you.
