🎉 Big Update: Auto Events Are LIVE!
Hey ExC fam—today’s a good one. We’ve rolled out a bunch of upgrades that make the servers smoother, the site snappier, and events way more fun.
What’s new
- Auto Events — Weekend boosts, mid-week mayhem, special days… events now turn on automatically with the right rates. You’ll see the event name and rates in-game and on the website when they go live.
- Faster, steadier everything — The website frontend and the bot backend got a major tune-up for quicker page loads, more reliable chat/announcements, and fewer hiccups overall.
- Adjustable Rates — Admins can now dial in Breeding, Taming, Gathering, and XP on the fly for smarter tweaks and themed events—without downtime.
- New Event Builder — Admins can create and schedule new events with custom rates. Watch for fresh rotations and surprise weekends.
What this means for you
- Clear event banners and in-game announcements when boosts start
- More consistent performance across the board
- Better variety—more reasons to jump in each day
Got ideas for a fun event theme or rates you want to see? Drop them in #site-feedback on Discord. Thanks for playing—and see you in the next event! 🚀

Link-Ark Live
Hey all—quick update from me.
The weekend event has been active and I’m keeping the rates spicy for launch. We’re normally 2× base with 4× weekends, but for the rollout I’m sticking with 8 and 5 for now while things spin up.
I also turned on !lottery
. Type !lottery
in-game to see how it works.
Important: before you can use the fun stuff, you need to be fully linked:
- In Discord, run /claim to get your one-time code.
- In-game, on the server you play, type
!verify YOURCODE
. - On the Dashboard, manually enter your ARK ID in the ARK ID field and save.
Once your character is fully linked, you can grab a small starter boost with:
!claim StarterPack
If you hit any snags (claiming, ARK ID, or lottery), ping me in Discord and I’ll help.
- New Lottery Icon changes color on navigation based off current eligibilty
- Claiming Starter Pack and Using Lottery does require manual linking
- Report issues in #site-feedback.
- Dashboard chat relay is live.
- Claim bot supports Steam ID linking.
