Our primary rule-set is posted on discord for player convenience. The following is a more comprehensive list of rules and expectations. Please be sure to follow these rules when playing on our server(s). Failure to do so may get your account banned, or any other judgement deemed appropriate at the sole discretion of our Admins. We want everyone to perform as well as they can by the same set of rules.
Attacking Player Bases
In short, don’t. There are PvP events we host in which the server will be set to Full PvP. Unless expressly stated otherwise by the Admins, players may not raid other player bases that are normally in PvE zones. Likewise, you may not attack tames in said bases. As an issue of common courtesy, no player should ever enter the base of another without being invited in. With this in mind, players may use any legal means necessary to defend their bases. Base owners may rightly assume that anyone entering without invitation is there to attack, snipe, egg-steal, or anything else of malicious intent. Your base is your home and only Game Admins may enter without your permission.
Exploits
An exploit is using an unintended game mechanic that violates the intent of the developers. Most are discouraged by Skyfall staff. If not expressly detailed below, ask an Admin before taking advantage of one.
Glitching Inside Structure
Glitching inside structure you do not own is a game exploit. It is difficult to prove, as a violator can always say they were invited in and we as Admins do not really have a way of determining if this is true or not. If we witness it, or an attempt to do so, we will hold you accountable.
Raft Limit
The game mechanics are intended to limit tribes to four rafts per tribe and will be enforced.
Generator Glitching
Generators are intended to consume fuel to run. Make sure this is the case for your own.
Unconventional Acquisition
There are a number of instances in which players may be tempted to acquire items or tames that are not in the typical fashion of working for them. It is usually best to avoid these.
Structure Demo
Game Admins frequently demo abandoned player structure. When doing so, do not approach them. Do not loot what they break or leave behind.
Tame Unclaim Purges
When we have a Tame Unclaim purge, all players are expected to stay within their bases until the server restarts with Tame Unclaim again toggled off. Do not attempt to travel to other bases to claim their dinos.
Accepting Hack Items
Generally speaking, players do not just give out premium or hard-earned items like Eerie turrets or Element. Hackers will at times enter a server and offer these things for free just to upset the balance and fair play on a server with malicious intent. It is advised you do not accept anything from another player you do not know has played on the server as a regular member.
If your friend you have known for two months decides to quit Ark and offers to give you some tames, this is acceptable. If someone you never met before offers you element, this is not acceptable.
Admins Ingame
Game Admins are usually quite busy. We have some of the best and they have full lives outside of Ark. They are parents, working professionals, and offer their time, patience, and Ark expertise to make one of the best gaming experiences Ark Mobile has to offer. To make best use of their time, they often handle more than one job or support issue at a time.
Follow Admin Directions
We insist that you follow Admin directions immediately ingame. If you take issue with staff directions, you may #–create-ticket for further explanation or discussion but do not delay or refuse them ingame. If you do, there is a good chance you will simply receive a one-day(or more) Ban.
Admin Support
If you require support from an Admin, do not ask for them ingame. You may simply be muted. Additionally, we require that you have an account on our discord to receive any support at all. You should #–create-ticket for all inquiries and requests. This includes kits, questions, getting stuck, and anything else you can dream up.
Do Not Lie to Admins
If an Admin catches you lying to them, they will not take it lightly. We tend to stay behind the scenes and allow players to enjoy the game without our intrusion. In the event that we feel the need to interfere, we do not want to waste time pulling the truth out of you. Be forthright and honest. If you waste our time keeping information from us or lying, you will likely lose any presumed innocence.
Player Conduct
In short, be respectful of others. No racial slurs, sexually explicit content, or excessive personal attacks will be tolerated. Take that stuff to private channels.
