Welcome to The Friendly Server.
Our community originally came from UKFriendlys, a much loved Ark server created by Dazztee and running for 3-years.
When UKFriendlys sadly closed, I turned my personal, temporary “testing” server into our new home.
Since then – it has grown into an active, friendly community of Ark and Conan gamers, spanning a main Ark cluster with all 10 official maps, an unmodded (Epic launcher enabled/crossplay) map, a quarterly “different experience” map, a Conan Exiled Lands map plus several event maps – all brought together with a Discord community which almost has a life of it’s own.
Today… The Friendly Server is the home of the best community in gaming.
