Build something
that lasts.
Arkade is a no-wipe cluster. After one final reset on Friday 4 September, 19:00 BST, nothing is ever wiped again. No seasons, no resets, no announcement six weeks in telling you to start over. The base you build is yours to keep.
Wiped 4 September, the last time it will ever happen. Everyone on it right now started the same week you would, and nothing gets reset again.
The actual numbers, not "boosted"
Every value below is read straight off the running config. If it says 10x here, it is 10x when you log in.
- Taming
- Instant
- Knock it out, feed it once, ride it. Taming is not the game here.
- Harvesting
- 10×
- Cluster-wide, every resource.
- Experience
- 10×
- Max level inside a couple of sessions, not a fortnight.
- Stack size
- 1,000
- Most items stack to a thousand. Fewer vault walls, less inventory admin.
- Egg hatching
- 120×
- Mating interval is cut to a twentieth, so a line can actually be bred in an evening.
- Maturation
- 100×
- One cuddle is a full imprint, it is available straight away, and anyone in the tribe can do it.
- Crop growth
- 10×
- Plant it, go and do something else, come back to a harvest.
- Carry weight
- Unlimited
- For you and your tames. Every point of Weight is worth a fortune, so hauling stops being the bottleneck.
- Tribe cap
- 5
- Enforced by the server, not by trust. Allying around it is a raid-size violation.
Raiding happens on a schedule, not a surprise
Every day from Sunday through Friday evening, turrets deal double damage and structures take half damage. Bases are built to survive being unattended. That's not an offline timer, it applies whether you're logged in or not.
Rates return to normal Friday 19:00 UTC through Sunday 01:00 UTC. That's the raid window, so plan your weekend around it, not your login times.
Built by someone who plays here
The cluster runs on software we wrote for it, not a rented panel and three plugins.
Raid alerts in your own Discord
Point our bot at your tribe's server and your tribe log lands there: turrets firing, structures dropping, members added and removed, all in the channel your tribe already has open. Membership is verified in game before a subscription goes live, so nobody can subscribe to your logs but you.
Points you earn by playing
Time on the server accrues points automatically. Spend them on the web shop and it lands in your inventory in game: tamed dinos, max-stat creatures, breeding pairs guaranteed male and female, gear and bulk resources.
Updates, handled
An ARK patch makes an out-of-date server invisible in the browser, so none gets left behind: the bot alerts staff the moment a map falls behind the live build, and every map is updated together. A patch does not mean an afternoon of the cluster being unjoinable.
The tribe cap is actually enforced
Five means five. We log gameplay and connection data to catch alt accounts, ban evasion and people trying to run a mega-tribe behind three alliances. Reports go to a human, and a human decides.
Every map, one save
Tribes, dinos and gear transfer freely between all of them. Same rates, same rules, everywhere.
Loading live status…
It is a real PvP server
Four that shape the place more than the rest. The full list lives in Discord and is kept current.
Meshing
Instant tribe wipe and ban. No warnings, no appeals, no exceptions for anyone.
Raid window
Structures are tanky all week (2x turret damage, half damage taken). Rates go back to normal Friday 19:00 UTC to Sunday 01:00 UTC, and that's when raiding actually happens.
Raid parties
Capped at five. Allying to get around the cap is treated as a raid-size violation.
Insiding
Legal. Who is in your tribe, and who gets removed, is entirely your tribe leader's call.
Playtime pays
Points accrue just for being online, no purchase needed to take part. Spend them on the site and it is delivered to you in game, straight away if you are logged in.
- ▶ Dinos delivered tamed and ready
- ▶ Max-stat creatures, your pick of the stat
- ▶ Breeding pairs, guaranteed male and female
- ▶ Gear, structures and bulk resources on demand
The questions people actually ask
Everything below is current. If something is missing, ask in Discord and it gets added here.
How do I join Arkade?
Search Arkade in the ARK: Survival Ascended unofficial server browser and pick any of the eight maps. They share one save, so it does not matter which you start on. If the browser is being slow to populate, join the Discord and use the direct connect details there.
What are the rates?
10x harvesting and XP, instant taming, and 5-man tribes. Breeding is boosted too, so a full raise takes hours rather than days.
Does the server wipe?
No. Arkade is a no-wipe cluster: there are no seasons and no scheduled resets, so anything you build is permanent. The cluster was wiped once on 4 September 2026 to give everyone a level start, and that was the last one.
Can I raid during the week?
Technically, but it's not worth it. Turrets deal double damage and structures take half damage every day from Sunday through Friday evening, so a base that folds in minutes on a vanilla server takes a lot more than that here. Raiding opens up properly on the weekend.
Is the shop pay to win?
You earn shop points simply by playing, 25 an hour, automatically, with nothing to claim. Points buy base packs, breeding pairs, blueprints and resources. Everything in the shop is reachable by playing the server.
Which maps are on the cluster?
The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis and Astraeos: eight maps sharing one cluster, so you can transfer freely between them with your character, tames and gear.
Does Arkade use mods?
Yes, a small set of quality-of-life mods including Cybers Structures and a 1,000-stack mod, identical across all eight maps so nothing is lost when you transfer.
When is the raid window?
Friday 19:00 UTC through Sunday 01:00 UTC. Rates go back to normal for that window, with no online/offline exceptions. Plan around the clock, not around who's logged in.
Build it once. Keep it.
Get your tribe in and pick where you are building. It is not going anywhere. The Discord is where everything is organised.
