Real, active server admins
Private servers that don’t just disappear one day.
Most private servers die quietly when the owner stops paying. Not here. PixelMonsters servers are run by active admins — some we host for free, and the rest run on community support with an honest meter showing exactly what each one costs and what’s covered. If you love a server, you can make sure it stays up.

Server rules — read before you build
**PixelMonsters · US Mid · 6 slots · Public · PVP always on · We don't wipe** **209.126.11.33:29000** — no password, just join. ## The short version Teams of two. Everyone else is a target. Your base stays where you built it. This is a small server that runs on people being straight with each other. Read "How this actually works" at the bottom before you decide it's for you. ## The rules ### 1. Two players per team You play solo or with one partner. The game has no group system, so nothing stops a third player tagging along — which is exactly why this is a duo ruleset, admin-enforced, rather than a setting. If you want three-player squads, this isn't the server. ### 2. One account per person No alts, no second accounts, no sharing your login. On six slots this matters more than anywhere else: two people running four accounts would lock out an entire third duo. If you want to play a different character, delete your old one. ### 3. Don't team up outside your duo The test is simple: are you making someone else's game easier? If yes, and they're not your partner, don't. That covers the obvious things — fighting alongside a third player, sharing a base or storage, standing down by mutual agreement. It also covers the less obvious ones: dropping a kit somewhere for another duo to collect, leaving a chest unlocked for them, or dying to them on purpose with good gear on. Routing gear through the floor instead of your hands is still a handoff. Two duos independently attacking the same target isn't teaming. Arranging it is. ### 4. Solo is fine You don't need a partner to play here. Team up later if you want — see rule 5. ### 5. Changing partners Say so in Discord when it happens. That's the whole process. The one restriction: if you walk out on a duo during or straight after a fight, sit out 48 hours before joining another. It stops people bailing to whoever just beat them. It doesn't apply if your partner left, quit, or got removed — you're free immediately, and you shouldn't be punished for someone else's decision. Admins don't adjudicate breakups. Whatever you built together, sort it out between you — and be aware that the moment you're not partners, you're enemies, and normal raiding rules apply to everything you built together. ### 6. Raiding is the point. Griefing isn't. Fine: raiding, killing on sight, stealing, ambushing, holding a contested area, breaking whatever's in your way to get to the loot. Not fine: - Killing the same player more than twice in a row at their respawn point. Take the kills, take the loot, then let them move. - Sealing someone out of their own base rather than taking what's in it. - Flattening a starter camp that has nothing in it worth taking. These are written as thresholds rather than intentions on purpose. Admins can't read your mind and won't try to. ### 7. Don't cheat No exploits, no duping, no tools that change how the game behaves. Mods that alter the player cap count here too. If you find a bug, tell us and you're clear — including if you already triggered it by accident. That amnesty is real and it's how we find out about this stuff. What gets you removed is knowingly using one after you know it's there. Duping is the one we care about most, because on a server that never wipes, a broken economy is permanent. ### 8. Don't be vile Slurs, harassment, and threats get you removed. Trash talk during a raid doesn't — there's a difference between "get wrecked" and going after who someone is. ## What happens when someone breaks the rules Admins go on what they can actually check: server logs, and screenshots or clips you send us. Bring evidence if you're reporting someone. | What happened | What we do | | --- | --- | | Teaming, first time | Warning, and any gear that changed hands gets removed | | Teaming again | Removed from the server | | Griefing | Warning, or removal if it's deliberate and repeated | | Cheating or duping | Removed | | Harassment | Removed immediately | We won't roll the world back to undo player damage. Backups here are whole-world — restoring your griefed base would erase every other player's progress since the last save, which breaks the one promise this server is built on. Rollbacks are for genuine server faults only (corruption, a catastrophic bug), and we'd announce one before doing it. So: griefing is punished, not reversed. Build accordingly, and don't put everything in one chest. ## How this actually works Some honesty, because you'll work it out anyway and we'd rather say it upfront. **Bans are soft.** The server is public with no password, so anyone we remove could make a new account and come back. We keep removing them. What actually keeps this server pleasant is that it's six people who mostly know each other — not enforcement. If that sounds fragile, it is, and it's the trade we've made for being open. **Six slots is a hard cap.** Jagex sets it in the server itself; it went from 4 to 6 in March 2026 and stays there. We can't raise it and neither can our host. **Slots are first-come, every session.** Nothing is reserved. Three duos online is a full server, and at peak time you may not get in. We'd rather run one honest server than pretend there's room we don't have. **Nobody's base is protected by absence.** If you stop playing, your base stays — we don't wipe. But if you've been gone 60 days and someone needs the space, admins may clear it. Say something in Discord if you're going away and want it kept. **Established players have a head start.** No wipes means someone who joined in month one has a base you won't match quickly. That's the deal with persistent servers. If you want a level start, wait for a fresh one. ## Housekeeping - Server restarts daily at 05:00 America/Chicago, back within a minute. - Backups run nightly, with monthly copies kept off-platform. - PVP is always on. There are no safe zones and no PVE hours. Questions go in [#dragonwilds on the PixelMonsters Discord](https://discord.gg/waAmZ2X6By).

Community Crunch 522: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
This week, we're taking a closer look at the Cerberax, and its dossier reveals there's considerably more to taming this mythological monster than simply surviving the encounter. Each head will need to be dealt with on its own terms, and convincing all three that you're worth following might prove just as dangerous as fighting the beast itself. Pull it off, though, and Cerberax becomes one hell of an ally, bringing fire, venom, and three heads that are dangerous alone and downright vicious in sync. And Cerberax won't be arriving alone. September 30 is shaping up to be a packed day on the ARKs, bringing the Unreal Engine 5.8 upgrade, the Therizinosaurus TLC, and ARK: Dragontopia’s Gargantar alongside it. So while you start deciding which two tribemates you trust with the other heads, keep an eye on the calendar. There's plenty more headed your way on September 30! Download in full resolution Species: Cerberax tricipitis Time: Unknown Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Something affecting evolution on the ARKs seems to have a knack for mythology! Cerberax tricipitis is a huge three-headed canid, capable of taking on even a Rex or Ossidon in a fair fight. Anything short of a Giga or Carcha is going to have a tough time fighting Cerberax. Its sheer size allows it to take a beating, so be sure to make it bleed if you plan to fight one. The three heads of Cerberax all use separate tactics, but their real strength is working together. The right head applies fire to subdue its prey, while consuming venom to cripple it. The left head applies venom to weaken its prey, while consuming fire to heal its body. The central head coordinates the other two, resulting in more damage from the side heads, and causing their venom and their flames to spread to nearby targets. Taming Cerberax involves winning over not one, but three animals. When subdued by narcotics, all its adrenaline surges to a single head. By quickly mounting that head and placating its anger, you can wear down its reserves of energy. Another head will wake, so repeat until all three collapse and you can feed it into submission. Once finally tamed, Cerberax is best ridden by a team of three Survivors. One Survivor controls the body and main head, while the other Survivors control the left and right heads to maximize combat efficiency. Working as a team, the three heads bolster each other's abilities to their maximum potential! Download & play new custom content created by players, including new maps, creatures, items, and game modes, through a dedicated new Mod-browser directly within the game.

These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on September 18th. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily. Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on September 18th, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period. Conquest, introduced to ARK: Survival Ascended by Snail Games, focuses on large-scale PvP, with increased rates, and other changes listed below. The increased rates will allow tribes to set up and establish themselves quickly and enable them to rebuild after potential losses instead of being wiped completely. The official Conquest servers are open for PC, Xbox and PlayStation. If you need any support during the Conquest season, join the Conquest Enforcement's Discord.
