Why play on Skyfall servers?
Skyfall has earned a reputation for fair play. That is what we want on our servers. The hacking and Grove Street’s failed response to it is what killed a large part of the population playing Ark. We have successfully restored a balance to the game where all players are empowered by the same opportunities. We also are active players who closely monitor our community and quickly respond with support. Our discord (800+) and ingame (20+ at peak) communities are large and robust. We have been playing actively as Skyfall tribe since 2019, professionally hosting our Unofficial for over a year, and will continue well into the future. We have struck a delicate balance that allows PvP and PvE play to coexist enjoyably in a way that other PvX servers have not.
Do You Host a Discord Server?
Of course! You can find an invite here.
What are the Rules?
Great question. Be sure to read our #rules channel in Discord. We have a more extensive set of rules published on our website with more detail.
Do You Schedule Server Restarts?
Yes. We currently have daily server restarts scheduled at 2:00am EST and 8:00am EST. The server is typically down for a few minutes only. We find that these are optimal times in that players are less likely to be playing in large numbers at these times. When we have removed these restarts, or even just one of them, the server crashes unexpectedly on a fairly regular basis. Our understanding is this is common with busy servers.
Can I be a Game Admin?

How do you mitigate Admin Abuse?
Firstly, we hope our reputation as players offers confidence to those who know us. We don’t use cheats or exploits ourselves on official. We don’t inside tribes or lie. More to the point in this case, our Administrators do not play on servers that they staff.
Can I get free stuff from Game Admins?

How can I get Structure Removed?
We obviously do not want to delete structure from active players. We also have, for player convenience, disabled Structure Decay ingame. So we have a proprietary semi-automated system for doing this.
Why do you accept donations?
Quality private servers require lots of effort and financial costs to maintain and we would like your help in supporting the community we are building.
Do You Host Player Events?
Yes! They are excellent! You can read more about our player events here. Our premier event is a persistent FOB PvP event called Kingdoms.
