I want to start this post with a positive. I have had some great times playing this game. Sailing the seas with friends and families, treasure hunting, and building bases. Even with the changes from season to season, over all the game play has been as the new generation puts it, satisfying. I would love to submit a ticket to Grapeshot at this time to contest an action taken, but with the site being down I have to resort to the forums. Lets get into the sourness of the game. Since coming onto the official servers, my company has lost several claims. I am not talking about one claim flag, and some automation buildings. I am talking about full buildings with automation, and recently a tamed bear. If the claims were off I could see another company surrounding the claim. That has not happened, claims are in the same place. Also with a tamed bear being claimed , it is my understanding this cannot be done without admin access, which is controlled by the admins\developers at Grapeshot. Our latest incident happened in the Artic on Mahastable Island. My company lost our Tin Mine, and the base was under new ownership for Wetwang Hermits. Miraculously Wetwang Hermits was also able to place new automation after our company scoured the island for placement for too many game hours. Having MANY years of admin experience in the Ark server world, I know the command is as simple as givetome. This explains the ability to claim the bear, and possibly spawn in the buildings that do not have limits on them. So either Wetwang Hermits are Grapeshot Devs, or have the admin access controlled by the Devs. I hope the Grapeshot Devs sees my post, and either confirm their intentions or correct their Dev's behaviour. In the future I would hope a decent ticketing system is up and running to submit these issues. Thank you for your attention, and Happy Holidays.

I am having the same issue..... Set it up with the same Manager. I went through multiple how to sites.. following them down to their specific detail. From my end the servers are up and running, however I am unable to find the servers on the Atlas server list, and when I try to log in through the Steam client under the server list (which sees the server per IP:QP) it always act like its connecting then gives me the "Unable to query server info for invite." I have went over the port forwarding more than I can count. I had a friend go over the port forwarding. I went over the firewall settings. I changed my external IP through my ISP. I changed to a different set of ports, and tested the ports off my Ark servers. I then tested the original set of ports off the Ark servers. My ark server worked, which means its not ports. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game client from the desktop I am trying to log in from. I could log into the official map no problem. I try to log into the server I set up and I get the same error "Unable to query server info for invite." From my troubleshooting, it's not my ports, it's not my machine, and it's not the client on my machine. I am at a loss for what it could be at this moment in time. I have set up plenty of Ark servers in similar fashion with a lot more customization and less problems than Atlas.
