PGV primarily has PVE clusters, but from time to time will set up some PVP Clusters. You can find them using the below search parameters. Don't forget to check the "Show Players Servers box"
Server Rules:
These rules apply to all servers run by the PGV team. Our focus is to have a fun and sometimes competitive Ark experience. We like to joke and play around with each other, but please be aware of these rules and basically, don’t be a jerk.
Note: All rules are contingent on the judgment of PGV Admins and Staff. If you break the “spirit” of the rule without breaking the letter of the law, you can still be subject to consequences. Admins will try to ensure fairness, but they are not able to respawn items, dinos, or other in-game items.
If you wish to report an issue, please create a ticket using in the PGV discord under the Contact Staff channel. Do not DM staff, DMs will be ignored or re-directed to the ticketing system.
Social Rules
- No impersonating PGV Staff.
- No hate speech, slurs, or toxic/abusive language. You can check the PGV discord rules for a more detailed list. This includes Tribe and Player names.
- Do not block artifacts or loot crate spawns.
- If you believe there is an issue with cheating or are displeased with how the servers are being run, please contact admins directly via a ticket in the discord server via the #contact-staff channel.
- Admins want to enjoy the game too, so please do basic troubleshooting if you encounter an issue. Admins also have RL obligations, so fixes may come when they have time, not immediately. Ticket responses from admins may take up to 24 hours to be addressed
- All PGV rules apply.
Game Rules
- No glitching, meshing, bug exploits, etc. No hacks or real-money trading.
- One character per person per map/cluster. You may not create a secondary character for the purpose of exploiting the in-game accountability systems.
- Do not block high-value resource spawns (metal, obsidian, etc).
- Do not block artifacts, obelisks, or loot crate spawns.
- Tames should not be left wandering outside of your base. If we find multiple tames left wandering (whether aggressive or passive) admins reserve the right to remove them.
- When looting beaver dams, clear everything, including the wood, out of the dam so it will respawn.
- Wyvern/Magmasaur scars - Do not hoard eggs. Eat the eggs or make kibble immediately with the eggs you do not want. This will ensure healthy egg spawns. If you pull wild dinos out of their scars, please destroy them so new dinos spawn in the scar or kite them back into a scar.
PVP Rules
- No long-term harassment or imprisonment. You are welcome to handcuff someone or cage them, but you should not hold a player to the point they can’t play the game long term (no more than 1 hour). All prisoners must released before you log off.
- Tribe names can only be changed once every 2 weeks.
- Repeatedly raiding the same tribe over and over again in a short period of time (1-3 days) will be considered griefing, action may be taken by the admins if this occurs.
- No insiding - If you wish to leave a tribe, you need to tell your tribe mates/the tribe owner. Do not disable defenses, unclaim tames, or destroy builds and then leave your tribe. If you would like to leave, please discuss it with your tribe owner/tribemates and agree on what tames and items you will take when you leave.
- Remove any Fobs once raids immediately after raid.
