The PACK GAMING RULES PAGE
We work on a "Three Strikes Your OUT" basis. Strike One: You and your Tribe/Clan get a warning. This can be Slept tames to us removing the offending objects or tames. And a sign informing you of the offense. Strike Two: We have to talk to you about a new rule or you broke the same one again. You can be dino wiped, pets removed or builds removed up to a temporary banning for a short duration(1-3 days). Strike Three: We are done and you are permanently banned.
Time to Time we have "Student Admins" training on the different servers. The Admin Team expects all Players to treat them with the same respect that the Full Admins receive. This is a non negotiable point, and can garner you the Player, and your tribe a strike.
Please read the General rules as they pertain to ALL THE SERVERS! Then read the rules per your favorite game.
We are all adults here, and know how to act. Let's make a happy safe place to enjoy games to play!
Don't Be silly and bully, disrespect, or grief ANYONE either in any game or in our Discord. We don't care if you cuss or other rough language, but slurs and racist remarks are TABOO.
Snooping around in peoples bases, and or visiting their base when you're not invited/they are offline is considered griefing. Treat others how you want to be treated.
Any who join have to understand that there will be FULL NUDITY, as well as coarse humor, and rough language, and some sexual content. If this is not for you, Thank you for your interest, but we may not be the BEST FIT for you.
Our Gaming Cluster is a NC-17 and up. Be aware that there may be coarse humor, and rough language used.
Admin bases, builds, tribes and dinos/pets are OFF LIMITS to being Claimed/Demoed out. This also includes Community Builds on any Server, and the ARK EVENT MAP. No player but ADMINS are allowed to Build on the Event Map. If you claim admin tames, and or destroy/remove parts of their base, you will be banned. Below is the link to the list of ADMINS. If your unsure that the tribe you are looking at is an ADMIN/Owner tribe. Join our Discord and ask in RULES AND SUPPORT SECTION - #admin-support. Admin Tribes across The PACK GAMING CLUSTER​

PLEASE FOLLOW ALL GENERAL RULES IN THE ABOVE SECTION PLUS THESE BELOW:
Be respectful of other players and do not Block the way to Lore items, Vista places, Pathways to other parts of the Game Maps. If you want you may leave a way into and out of a Lore, Vista point for other players, but it should be well marked. Also do not block large groups of resources (5 or more nodes) ON ANY MAP. If it's in your territory area, leave a way into and out for harvesting of rare resources. In most cases, foundations within 10 blocks of the resource will kill the spawn area. So restrict your building to prevent loss of large groupings of nodes. Do NOT place awesome teleport pads down in Artifact caves, Desert or Sea loot boxes. If found they will be destroyed and you or your tribe will gather strikes.
All Tribes may have One MAIN BASE of 200x200 foundations max. And TWO Smaller Tribe bases of 100 x 100 foundations. Please restrict your builds in height. As of yet we are not limiting this but -> IE: NO SKYSCRAPERS. (No builds from ground to touching the Skybox ceiling) Restrict the use of Pillars and Fence railings as Outer base defenses, as they do cause lag. You may construct temporary buildings for various reasons(taming/teleports/etc). However please tear it down as soon as you are done. If buildings are found over 48hrs they will be demolished upon discovery. Do not leave private teleporters around the map for you to spawn, they block others from building near by. If you think there should be a public teleporter get with the admins and we'll consider it.
Island: Penguin Island, Hidden Lake. Center: Floating Island SE: All Oil or Water wells should be open or in an admins tribe. Aberration: Keep the waterways clear for Boat traffic & leave gas collectors open. Ragnarok: The giant beaver dam & metal cave Extinction: Sunken Forest Beaver Lake, Do not block the spawns in the middle of the lake. Build back from the waters edge. Any city terminal must be treated like a public transmitter. DO NOT BLOCK ACCESS TO THEM. you may enclose in a base but that area must remain accessible to the public via a gate system. Valguero: Any Cave that leads to the Fertile Chamber area. Any Cave that leads to the Underground Ocean. Within 10 Foundations of a Deinonychus Nesting Area. Genesis: TBD EVENTMAP: Players may not build on the Event Map. Also do not Claim any claimable dino left on the map.
It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they refresh all timers on the servers they play on. If you do have a situation occur where you need help, please think about getting a tribe/clan mate. Otherwise you may ask help of a Server Admin. Keep in mind we are busy and may not be able to help you. Standard ARK Decay timers are in effect, except for Dino tames, which is extended: A Dino times out in 12 days. S+ Thatch building pieces timeout in 4 days auto decays in 6. S+ Adobe building pieces timeout in 8 days auto decays in 12. S+ Wood building pieces timeout in 8 days auto decays in 12. S+ Stone building pieces timeout in 12 days auto decays in 18. S+ Greenhouse building pieces timeout in 15 days auto decays in 22.5. S+ Metal building pieces timeout in 16 days auto decays in 24. S+ Tek building pieces timeout in 20 days auto decays in 30.
Do NOT leave dinos on AGGRESSIVE Except in this one specific case. DINOS ON AGGRESSIVE and TURRET MODE: You may leave a dino on Aggressive and Turret mode under these specific instructions, It must be encumbered to the point it can not walk in any direction. You may not use a hitching post for this setting (it stops the dino from defending) and a dino leash will NOT stop them from moving. Do Not Leave Dinos on Wander UNLESS one of these situations applies: For Oviaraptors, Achatina, and Dung-beetles: These may be on wander IF they are encumbered and/or Otherwise tethered to a hitching post. Any Dino found on WANDER or WANDER/AGGRESSIVE MOVING out side of your base will be destroyed. PERIOD .. FULL STOP. Anyone who violates this rule gets ONE WARNING. The next instance will be a DINO WIPE. The Third will BE a BAN. Titans are NOT to be transferred off of Extinction, and must be left on passive when not in use.
Many of the modded maps we are using are still employing the post extinction "Death Barriers", as in Ceilings or boundary walls that cause instant death when you collide or phase them somehow. This is your official warning that this is occurring on several maps. Awesome Teleporters have a recover corpse mode. Please use this. If a player hits a World barrier and is killed. Admins will not replace gear, cryos, items, dinos, etc. Our rates and our community, are such that you can recover from a loss such as this, relatively easy.
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL GENERAL RULES IN THE ABOVE SECTION PLUS THESE BELOW:
Be respectful of other players and do not Block the way to Lore items, Vista places, Pathways to other parts of the Game Maps. If you want you may leave a way into and out of a Lore, Vista point for other players, but it should be well marked. Also do not block large groups of resources (5 or more nodes). If it's in your territory area, leave a way into and out for harvesting of rare resources. In most cases, foundations within 10 blocks of the resource will kill the spawn area. So restrict your building to prevent loss of large groupings of nodes.
All CLANS may have ONE MAIN BASE of 200 x 200 foundations max, And TWO OUTPOST base of under 50 x 50 foundations. You may make a temporary Thrall taming place outside an NPC CAMP by 20 foundations length away. This may be a 15 x 15 foundation with a Wheel of Pain and a logout place. This is a temporary site and should be removed as soon as the thralls are processed. Be aware that decay is in effect and a temp site may decay much faster than a Main or Outpost does.
It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they refresh all timers on the servers they play on. If you do have a situation occur where you need help, please think about getting a tribe/clan mate. Otherwise you may ask help of a Server Admin. Keep in mind we are busy and may not be able to help you. If you place a single T1 foundation, its decay timer is only 1hr If you place a single T2 foundation, its decay timer is only 2hrs. But the more and more pieces you connect, the timer for the whole structure goes up, until a total cap of 360 hrs (or 15 days) is reached, which appears to be the current max. This is at the default settings. In some cases Funcom will extend the decay timers and this will lengthen your time before decay. Use a repair hammer to view the current decay timer based on the size of your current building. ADMINS will not replace anything that decays. It is your responsibility to refresh your sites.

All HOUSES may have up to Two (2) OUTPOSTS of no more than 125 x 125 foundations. You may make a temporary taming place. This may be a 15 x 15 foundation area with a logout place. This is a temporary site and should be removed as soon as the tame/s have processed Within 24 hours in most cases. Houses that have a tame pen up and not removed over the limited time, or have those that are blocking other players enjoyment of the game, will have the pens removed. Please be courteous and pick up your campfires, sleeping bags, and taming feeding troughs. To prevent lag for other players and yourself.
It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they refresh all timers on the servers they play on. If you do have a situation occur where you need help, please think about getting a tribe/clan mate. Otherwise you may ask the help of a Server Admin. Keep in mind we are busy and may not be able to help you. Note: Admins have tested and are UNABLE to change the vanilla decay rate. Sorry guys, We tried! Framework - 3 days or 72 hours Straw - 3 days or 72 hours. Wood - 4 days or 96 Hours. Stone - 5 days or 120 Hours. Iron - 7 days or 168 Hours. Manor - 15 days or 360 Hours.
We have the ability to Tame creatures, and those tames have the ability to be aggressive. If your house leaves a tame on aggressive setting, and it becomes an issue, interfering with play of others. Your tame will be removed from the game. No recompense for said tame will happen. Houses that continue to have issues with this will receive the normal "3 Strikes your out Treatment.".
You do not lose items in your HOTBAR (there are two hotbars... use ALT to access the second one.) or Your Equipped items. Items in your inventory are lost on death and are recovered by finding your body locator (pale reddish beam with floating hologram). Admins may at their discretion replace items lost on death or not. Depending on what has occurred in game play.

As of yet we are not limiting buildings beyond this, but -> IE: NO SKYSCRAPERS. (No builds from ground to touching the Skybox ceiling) Restrict the use of Pillars and Fence railings as Outer base defenses, as they do cause lag. Do NOT build in Cities and or put claim boxes down in them.
