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 530: Trick or Teeth
Fear Ascended has brought plenty of monsters to the ARKs. Next week, one of them is coming for its crown. The Giganotosaurus TLC arrives on November 5 as our third TLC from Extra Life's 2025 community votes. With a fearsome new look and renewed ferocity, the Giga is preparing to reclaim its place at the top. Even seasoned Survivors may want to reconsider their route when they see this beast turning in their direction. For those brave enough to earn its loyalty, there’s a formidable ally waiting on the other side of that challenge. Getting there will mean giving the returning king the respect it deserves. And the Giga isn't coming alone! The mysterious Enigmasaur is preparing to close out ARK Fantastic Tames: Season 1, bringing its extraordinary shapeshifting abilities to the wild. We're also getting ready to roll out the Unreal Engine 5.8 upgrade, marking another important step forward for ARK: Survival Ascended's technical foundation. From rediscovering an old nightmare to uncovering the secrets of an entirely new creature, there's plenty to look forward to next week. We can't wait to get all three into your hands! Download in full resolution Over $50,000 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! Starting November 13th through November 23rd, we’ll be rolling out a selection of the community’s favorite dino colors on the official network, along with a sweet twist in place of the traditional boosted donation rates.

Expect your world to be brighter, bolder, and packed with some of the community's favorite hues! 💙 Originally launched in 2016 as our entry into the competitive gaming space, Survival of the Fittest pits combatants against one another in an action-packed struggle for survival. Studio Sirens is now developing a new vision of SoTF with improved mechanics, competitive matchmaking, and metagame reward loops. Their community playtest is live through November 4, and ARK players are invited to take part and provide constructive feedback on gameplay, balance, technical issues, and more. Studio Sirens is particularly interested in the insights and observations that experienced players can offer. Participants must register through FirstLook.gg. The playtest is under NDA, so playtest content and information must remain private. Sign up for the playtest · Join the SOTF Discord 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.

Battlefield 6 - Anticheat Metrics - September
Hey Soldier,In September, Season 4 was well underway. We added a lot of new detection vectors related to pivots from cheating communities. These helped stabilize the infection rates for the title as we prepare for more significant enhancements to be deployed with coming updates.In the previous August update, MIR ended at 3.24% and has stabilized at 3.51% at the start of September.Refer to our January update, where we discussed how the MIR updates to understand how and why these shifts occur in more detail.September: Results & ImpactMatch Infection Rate: The percentage of matches across the title that were negatively impacted by at least one cheater. This includes all suspected cheaters you've reported, even those we might not have enough evidence to enforce against. From the end of August, MIR started at 3.51%. This maintained at a relatively flat state through the month with a high of 3.64% on September 2nd and a low of 3.27% on September 10th until the end of the month where it was 3.41% as of this update. Through September, EA Javelin Anti-Cheat prevented 439,945 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game before they could impact matches. We are presently still tracking a total of 111 (+1) active cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and their associated communities, and out of these, 107 (+2) are reporting related feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or fully taking their cheats offline (96.39%). Keep it fair out there - see you on the Battlefield.BF_SledgeHammer --- *Auto-posted from the developer's official [Steam announcement](https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/1847920302238933).*
