Who are we?

As a group of dedicated, year long unofficial ARK players we found ourselves bored and tired of existing ARK clusters that either made the game way too easy or just didn't hit the right spot for our taste. With Avalanche, launched in December 2019, we are trying to find the balance between keeping ARK challenging and at the same time, make it less grindy or frustrating than the official or unmodded servers. While we include Quality of Life (QoL) mods like Super Structures and Kraken's Better dinos in our setup, we still try to balance them by limiting or removing completely automated features like Nanny, Mutator mutation pulses and the like. 

Our rule set and philosophy points in one direction: Play the game to achieve whatever your goal is. While some players initially dislike the idea of having to work for their own success, most of them turn around at some point telling us it is their best ARK experience they have ever had and that earning their own progress made the game so much more fun than just buying things cheap or getting carried for free and ending up bored of the game with nothing to do a week later. Many players on our cluster have been around for several months and are still finding something to do.

 

Our friendly and mature community is active, helpful and will welcome you if you're up for the challenge on Avalanche.

Info

Weekend Events are different from the Event Teams Events below you can find a short description of each

Weekend Events are cycling events that you can check on the events tab – these events requirement is 1000 ARcs in the Server Balance, which you can check on discord in a bot channel by typing !Balance.

Events from the Event Team however has no scheduled releases outside of their announcements, these can be found on our discord. These events are also different as they include players through courses or similar, instead of adding special functionality like the weekend events.

Our limits is as follows:

Building:
There's a limit of 10000 structures on a map – you can check your current structure count by doing /showlimits in the ingame chat

Breeding:
Max of 30 Tek Managarmrs, no hydras, no super laggy breeding bases.

Tribe Limits:
Tribes can't have more than 150 dinos out, less on certain maps such as Genesis where it's limited to 75

After seeing the negative effects Gachas can have on a players experience, and the overall server economy, we have deemed Gachas as unbalanced for our concept. They remove the overall grind of the game and encourage players to afk in base all day for free resources.

Arca: ARcs is money.

ARcs is the main trading currency on the cluster, used to buy everything from dinos and materials to admin services.
They can be gained by voting for the server or trading with other players.

AVALANCHE GAMING

The Journey
Avalanche Gaming started back in December 2019, and has since then been providing ARK players a challenging but entertaining experience. Our Cluster strive to provide a place where you can enjoy vanilla level gameplay, but with enough "Quality of Life" changes to feel more fun and engaging. While ARK has been changing a lot over the years adding new maps and features, we aim to evolve with the game adding each new map to our cluster and adjusting our concept to the new features. This gives our community a great choice of maps to play on and still experience the game to its full potential!

Our Community
Our large Community is full of people from all over the world, a place where anyone is welcome.
Whether you're joining to play the story, wanting to trade, breed dinos or just sit and fish while chatting. You can always find your place in our community, as we value a friendly and helpful environment

Our Goal
Our goal is simple, we wish to provide long-term servers that contain all official content released, while improving certain aspects of the game.
The mods, tools and plugins we use are adjusted to fit our concept, by tweaking changing and developing, we wish to bring you a nice long-term experience.
We always monitor our server performance and adjust as needed, hardware upgrades and software optimizations are done regularly to ensure optimal performance.

The Team
Our team comes from all over the world, our Admins, Moderators and Developers are always working on bringing you the best experience possible. We always look for things we can improve and make better, this way your gaming experience is always as pleasant as possible. And to top it off, our Event Team is working on making new events for you to enjoy during your weekend.
