For some reason the rate multipliers haven't been working with events. Initially I thought it was because the Ark servers were on Linux, but now that we're on Windows again it seems like the rates still aren't working. If Epimetheus confirms that the rates haven't altered, then we can try manually adjusting the rates for the duration of the event.
I just did check and its all good exept the rates i did test with meat run, hatching and breeding.
Servers are back up. In the future, please post in the Ark servers down thread. Thanks!
Hey,
Are people still playing Ark on HD servers from time to time?
How is the ping from EU nowadays?
Getting the Ark itch
It takes about 75ms to get from Europe to the US, then another 60 or so ms to get to the ARK server.

When i check the servers with battlemetrics every other day there doesnt seem to be any activity.
For the first several years that the Ark servers were housed in the Netherlands, I really didn't experience any gameplay issues in regards to ping. This was back when we did a lot of PvP (accurately hitting moving targets with a sniper) as well. I would expect it shouldn't be too bad, if any different, in the reverse.
As it so happens, InsaneJ and I have been talking about the current state of Ark servers behind the scenes. There's nothing to tell really at this point, but I would expect by the end of the year there could be some changes. This is in part because I've been considering how effectively I can move forward with Ark 2 when that comes out. At this point, if you're feeling the itch I say go for it. There's no plan to shut down the PvE servers, and there's still the possibility that Epimetheus may continue his work on getting PvP servers up and running as a secondary cluster.
