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 531: Unreal Engine 5.8, Enigmasaur and Giga TLC out now!
We have a lot to share in this week's Crunch, so let's dive straight in! Expand your exotic menagerie with the first season of Fantastic Tames for ARK: Survival Ascended! These extraordinary oddities are forged from the ARK’s most mystical anomalies in defiance of nature. Each Fantastic Tame brings its own wondrous array of abilities to your tribe, with Fantastic Tames Season 1 granting access to three new additions: the Burrowbuck, Cerberax, and Enigmasaur. The Enigmasaur is no ordinary master of disguise. It doesn't simply imitate other species, it becomes them, blending in so convincingly that even their own kind may be none the wiser. Every creature it mimics has something to offer, and the Enigmasaur has a remarkable way of holding on to what it learns. Even after slipping into an entirely different form, some familiar tricks may still be lurking beneath the surface. A Rex with a scorpion's sting? That's just one of the surprises this shapeshifter might have in store. Of course, convincing something that can become almost anything to join your tribe is its own unusual challenge. Available now! Giganotosaurus is now stepping up for its turn in the TLC spotlight! Thanks to your Extra Life vote, the ground is beginning to shake again. Once upon a time, the Giganotosaurus was the undisputed king of the ARKs. Few creatures could stand against it, and hearing its roar in the distance was enough to send even seasoned Survivors scrambling for safety, and taming one was a milestone few ever forgot. Gone are the days of simply finding a safe vantage point and stocking up on tranquilizers. Getting a Giga's attention will mean proving yourself against some of the ARKs' fiercest threats. And once you've caught its eye, you'll have to survive a confrontation where pushing the beast to its limits is just as vital as knowing your own. Those who manage to overcome that challenge will earn themselves a formidable ally with a force capable of rallying an entire tribe into battle. Just remember that there's a fine line between fighting alongside an enraged Giga and standing in its way. Thank you again to everyone who supported Extra Life and helped bring this TLC to life! We've already shared a few exciting reveals for ARK: Dragontopia, but there's still plenty more to discover! The next two reveals are just around the corner! Tune in to HillbillyWilly's stream tomorrow, November 7, starting at 7 AM Pacific, for a first look at two more additions to Dragontopia. And we're not stopping there! GP will round things out with the final two reveals in a special video coming to his channel on Monday, November 9. Keep your eyes peeled, Survivors. Dragontopia still has a few secrets left to share! Crystalline order and venomous ruin, bound in dark balance. Safe keeping for a fragile spark. Not everything in the sky has wings. Download all images in full resolution Built to take the blow. Born to detonate. Over $107,000 raised for Extra Life and counting! Thank you, Survivors, for rallying for the kids. Let’s keep that total climbing! Year after year, Extra Life shows how much good the ARK community can do together. As we head into our twelfth year, we’ve raised over $1.2 million to help kids in need, thanks to your generosity. It’s a tradition we’re proud to share with you, and we’re ready to build on it once again in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the children and families in their care. This year, we’re going all-in on that shared goal: raising funds to help kids get the care they need, while unlocking something special for the future of ARK: Survival Ascended along the way. Our Dino TLC community milestones are back! For every $40,000 raised, you’ll unlock a TLC for a classic creature, up to four in total, with your votes deciding which familiar faces get some extra love. Rally behind your favorites, help spread the word, and let’s make this year’s campaign count. All donations to Team Wildcard go directly to UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital. The hospital provides expert care across more than 20 pediatric specialties and is home to the UF Health Shands Pediatric ER, the community’s first dedicated children’s emergency department. When donating to anyone on the Studio Wildcard Extra Life Team, not just Studio Wildcard directly, include a message with your chosen creature’s full first name preceded by a hashtag, like this (we’ll do our best to identify typos, but try to spell them correctly!): #Giganotosaurus Hello #Giganotosaurus Please give #Giganotosaurus a TLC! If no hashtag vote is included in the donation message, the donation will still count towards the TLC total, but it won’t advance any particular dino’s voting tally. Every $1 donated = 1 vote A $50 donation with #Giganotosaurus = 50 votes for Giganotosaurus Five $10 donations with #Giganotosaurus = 50 votes for Giganotosaurus (10 x 5) To keep the vote balanced and consistent, eligible creatures must meet the following criteria: Araneo Argentavis Dire Bear Direwolf Gigantopithecus Giganotosaurus (release Nov. 5) Mammoth Megalosaurus (upcoming) Parasaur Procoptodon Quetzalcoatlus (upcoming) Raptor Therizinosaurus Tyrannosaurus Rex Sabertooth Sarcosuchus Spinosaurus Stegosaurus Triceratops November 13 – First Winner November 20 – Second Winner November 27 – Third Winner December 4 – Final Winner Donate now to the Wildcard Team or any other team member listed here to ensure your vote counts! Extra Life Game Day is in full swing and the support has been incredible. Together we’ve already passed 90k raised and unlocked two creature TLCs to make their way into ASA. Thank you so much to everyone donating, cheering, streaming, and showing up. This is the power of gaming communities when we come together. We want to thank all the members of our team, big and small, for their incredible effort toward raising more for the Children's Miracle Network! Let’s keep the energy going. For the kids.

Visit the contest website for full entry guidelines and terms. Hey Survivors, after careful assessment, we've opted to begin the process of sunsetting a selection of our inactive official servers. Our goal is to ensure that we're always delivering the best experience possible, and official servers exist as a way for the community to play together without having to host their own. When we launch fresh content, typically, we put up more servers than we need in the long term to match the peak in user capacity; over time, these servers become ghost towns as players have dropped off and are waiting for the next major content release. As part of this process, the servers will be renamed with the “SUNSET” prefix, following the same approach we’ve used in the past. Please note that once renamed, these servers will be removed from the in-game Favorites list, so you’ll need to search for them manually to reconnect. On November 29th, we'll be sunsetting these inactive Island servers. Click here to see the updated detailed list. We still intend to provide capacity at launches as much as possible to meet the higher need during those periods. We’re working with our partner at Nitrado to offer these saves after the scheduled sunset through Nitrado’s interface. Please stay tuned for more details. 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. Server Settings/Rules XP rate: 5x (Event rates: 7x) Harvesting rate: 5x (Event rates: 7x) Taming rate: 5x (Event rates: 7x) Imprinting rate: 5x (Event rates: 7x) Maturation rate: 5x Hatching rate: 5x (Event rates: 7x) Breeding rate: 5x Gestation rate: 5x Mating interval: 0.5x Max players per server: 75 Rotation: 2 separate clusters. 1 month wipe servers 2 month wipe Servers Transfers: Open on launch for each cluster internally - 1 month wipe will not be able to transfer to 2 month wipe Clusters and vis versa. Tribe and alliance rules Formal Alliances are not allowed. Maximum tribe size: By cluster 1 month Servers - 10 player tribe limit 2 month Servers - 25 player tribe limit Building rules Rat-hole building is not allowed. No cave building. 1-month wipe servers 12 servers The Island: 4 servers Ragnarok: 3 servers Astraeos: 2 servers The Center: 3 servers 2-month wipe servers 12 servers The Island: 3 servers Ragnarok: 3 servers Astraeos: 3 servers The Center: 3 servers The Official Network will be receiving bonus rates! It will be active until Wednesday, November 11.

Our Haunted Homestead contest has come to a close, and wow, did you Survivors deliver! From eerie hideaways to elaborate haunted mansions, we were blown away by the creativity, atmosphere, and attention to detail that went into your builds. A huge congratulations to our winners, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated! We also heard your feedback and will be keeping it in mind as we plan our next community building contest. And while the screenshots are impressive, some of these haunted creations are even better explored in motion! We encourage everyone to check out the build walkthroughs shared on our Discord through the links below. There's plenty of spooky inspiration waiting to be discovered! Fear Ascended may be behind us, but don't put those building tools away just yet. We have a feeling something a little more merry might be on the horizon... Winners will be contacted over the next week via Discord to claim their prize.
