Some are already level 30 others are being forced to restart characters over and over again. You fight numerous animal spawns to level to raft building then venture off to nowhere to land and build, so you return to the beginner area which is now flooded by many doing the same thing. The lag is horrendous due to animal spawns and builds left behind by those that have left. BTW there are so many starter areas that there are no areas to claim once you escape. I am losing interest in the mechanics of this release. I played Ark for years...guess what...I quit playing a long time ago.
