I hate to say this but I sincerely doubt there will be a wipe, because based on Wildcard's track record that's not their way of doing things, regardless of how badly it needs to be done.  I realize this isn't Wildcard it's Grapeshot, but that's their parent company.  That said, this game already REALLY, REALLY needs a wipe. And that's sad.

The Devs supposedly have learned from their mistakes with Ark, only time will tell.

If the devs want an MMO then official servers need to be fun. The opposite of Ark where unofficial servers are awesome.

I agree, there is a LOT you can do with a small plot of land if you build smart too! Right now seeing small and large companys alike claiming way more then they need or then they can even hold.

With a exponential system, the first couple claims aren't so expensive, but then the cost skyrockets.

The only way to force people to share the land, is to force them. Not allow unlimited claim.

And there probably should be limits on company size.

Resetting a gold rush won't stop it from being a gold rush.

It will if the devs add limits to number of claims.

Yeah I'm ok with this, would give small and large companys still good amount of land. I'd like to see UPKEEP on claims as well 

Wurm Online had a good example of land claim and upkeep.

It needs to get exponentially more expensive to expand claim.

With some many things to tweak and balance, it would be nice to get a list of top priorities from the devs.

With this being the beginning of EA, the devs really should schedule wipes or partial wipes as they make major changes.

This is assuming they are going to fix the systems that are absolutely broken.

I agree that a single player mode like Ark would be much appreciated. So many people play Ark single player, why lose out on this demographic.

Another way would be to upgrade the dedicated software from what it is now (manual .bat file, manually config) to a tool similar to the extremely popular ASM (Ark Server manager).

Also, single player mode is great for mod authors to test out mods and server owners/admins to test out mods for their community.

A single player offline 1 grid map would be great.

Also more than just the top 10 would be nice, why limit it?

I should have said I am running the server on one PC and playing on a different one.

The server appears to fully start, I see the number of cores line in the cmd window.

I just cannot find my server in either Atlas browser or Steam favorites or LAN.

Never had to use .bat files with Ark.

I tried following cpjat64 twitch instructions, but they haven't been condensed to a easy to follow guide yet. Downloaded his 1x1 map.

Can my LAN IP work?
