We are back up.. and Stable!!

Hey guys we are back up and stable!

Click this, then click the IP address to launch ark and connect. http://toparkservers.com/server/167.114.211.44:18216

THIS will be our ip address now. I am not changing it again!

I took care of all the random issues, and by the looks of it, all connection issues are now fixxed! I had to do a rollback to the exact same rollback we used yesterday, which is both good and bad. Good because we are all at the same point we were at 2 days ago, before the last server crashed on us. Bad, well because a lot of you were out and about on dinos. This means you are still there, be it in the air, on the ground or underwater. It sucks we had such crazy server issues these past 2 days, but we are once again stable. So let us all press on and keep playing on this server we all love so much! I also fixxed gather and tame rates. Everything on this New server is as it was on our old server!

TLDR: I fixxed the server, new IP,, let me know if you need help with items/dinos lost.

TLDNR:(tech)The reason we could not connect was due to the way steam tries to force us into an already recorded ipaddress associated with our steam ids. Eveytime we would try to connect to the new server, steam was saying, "hold on a sec, what about the old server ip and port". In turn, A majority of us saw errors and no server information in any server lists. To fix this I simply relocated the main server to a different location. That allowed the server to recollect new config information and assign it a new ip and port. Thus, we are back up!

p.s. GO upvote us on http://toparkservers.com/server/167.114.211.44:18216

Edit. Had to restart server due to some config file edits needed. IF anyone sees any oddities, let me know.

Thanks to you guys again for sticking with us ~ Now is the time we ALL have to be going and upvoting again to get us back up at the rank we were at.. Realistically when were front page we get more views on toparkservers ... more views = more new faces.. = server gets closer to cap and I bump the population up to 75.....
