Back in July, The Friendly Server announced that the cluster would be wiping for the first time since its inception three years ago.

We decided it would be a great idea to form a collection of memories – screenshots from players old and new of their time here on The Friendly Server. See below a photo gallery that spans over three years featuring bases, favourite tames and much more. The photos will appear in a random order every time you look at the page.

If you have any photos that you would like adding to this gallery, please send them to jdab on Discord with a caption and they will be added in for you.

Thankyou all for making The Friendly Server such a wonderful place to be!

[Mica] My shuttle interior

[Vendy] My Base on Ragnarok

[gogogoffi] jdab is pixelated for a reason

[Mouse] Dublin’s beasty Ferox

[jdab] Slayed the Alpha Dragon, Megapithecus and Manticore with my max Parasaurs and some good friends

[SharkFly] When christmas came around

[Crazmanian] Current base on Rag, with the better dinos we managed to breed during our latest time on FS.

[Bender] The ‘easy’ area of Genesis 1 was fun

[backyardzoo] Going to miss this boy, he was tame I used the most, bred to get colors I wanted

[backyardzoo] Going to miss my little trophy from the one fun event

[Alpha Nostrils & Soph] Rare Spino we beat jdab to

[Thinus] Base on Crystal Isles I was really happy with

[Falken] Some oldies doing a Tek Cave run, maybe 2 years ago

[Skyla] My tribe’s base on The Centre. We started on The Centre and never left! I joined with my boyfriend Micky92 and then ShinyPants joined us.

[Raghav102] And this guy… I love Meks too much to not include my main one

[Skyla on behalf of WIZZAD] WIZZAD’s base on Ragnarok. I got to meet WIZZAD doing events, and also if I needed help with something he would help out. The best memory I have of WIZZAD is every time he got new dino or bred a dino he would always ask his daughter Evie what she wanted to call them, if it was a whack name or if she named it a male and it’s a female (other way around too XD)

[Mica] My shuttle

[Epic_Dawn] Family photo at the summer event that Phokxx and the team arranged for us! A memory I will always have!

[Raghav102] Oldest tame that still lives… he’s been with me since almost the beginning of The Island. Fondly remember leading him home past Rexes and Spinos and camping on the shore

[Epic_Dawn] I have several thousand dinos (please don’t redgun me haha) and these are a few of my favorites that I was able to find. I promise you that I could tell a story about each one of these dinos and each one holds fond memories. It pains me to know this screenshot is all I will have left of them, but I like to think this is not an end, it’s just the beginning of a new adventure.

[eESTlane] Rare Ebon Aberrant Galvanic Unihorn Equus

[Raghav102]

[Phokxx] Island fishing shack

[Darkapostle87] Myself and CJ Wight’s base on Crystal Isles and all our favourites from our menagerie

[ohhilaura]

[Nial] Was a long way from done but it was going well

[OrangeJuice458] And a collection of my favourite and most used dinos. My only maxed dino being Baryonyx on the left and the Yuty in the middle has spent most of its life scaring the living daylights out of any Argys that ever came close to my base

[Chris] Barely made it but here’s my new base on Crystal Isles, was unhappy with Ragnarok, and then Valguero, and found my place on the Crystal Isles

[ohhilaura]

[Ish] I name this the journeys end! This is my Genesis 2 base and this pic means a lot to me. It signifies the build style I have grown to love on this server. It has Ultimatum 244 in the middle! The black and green Rex, the first maxed dino on FS which I bred with a lot of help from Plasmatique (Dylan). And there are the Shadowmanes to the left, which have grown to be my fav dinos. Goodbye FS v1. Thanks for being the support in the darkest days of my life and making me amazing friends that I never imagined I would make. For changing me from Darcow to Ish.

[Epic_Dawn] I wanted to also share the house I built on Genesis Part 2. I like the way it came out. Goodbye home.

[Thinus] My old base on Valguero’s little courtyard

[Bender] Monkey was feeding Billy

[MasterPena] My last outpost I made (I will admit I think I went a bit too large for an outpost on Aberration). Oh, by the way Raghav102, your base location is all the way at the top left ha!

[Darky] And goodbye to my lovely dinos – these were some of the ones I loved the most

[Frank] My coolest tame

[jdab] The arena for “ARK: Infected”, the first event I created

[FOXShadowOps] Last sunset my character saw before I logged off for the wipe

[Darkapostle87] Myself and CJ Wight’s base on Crystal Isles and all our favourites from our menagerie

[Cosmic Tortoise] Un-Polished Ecco

[Bender] Party outfit

[jdab] My Island base which I shared with gogogoffi, Chipstix and edueduedu. We moved to this position shortly after arriving on the server back in 2019 and have been there ever since.

[lildino] The only rares I was able to fit in one picture with Shadowmane photo bombing in back

[Raghav102]

[Frank] Bald man Frank

[Phokxx] The final base on Phokxx Island

[Phokxx] The final base on Phokxx Island

[Darky] Goodbye my base on Ragnarok, tribe name “Dead on Arrival” just like I always was when I messed around in events, soon as I was spotted I was dead ehehe

[turretman] Tame cheesy snail lol

[Volrad] Revengers base on Ragnarok

[Darkapostle87] Myself and CJ Wight’s base on Crystal Isles and all our favourites from our menagerie

[MasterPena] Toughest outpost by far, my underwater outpost on The Center. I work in the shield, my squids and other water creatures lived in that giant cube

[Bremveco] Iridescent guys

[Epic_Dawn] My best looking dino. He was a patron 525 dino.

[Shalut] Our Little castle build on Ragnarok – Gamer Gang (with Jordan and Ricey). 1st time I did a bigger build in ARK. Sadly already torn down, but I believe some people had seen it in its full glory

[Crazmanian] Our old 1st Ragnarok base, from the very beginning of the FS

[Thinus] My old base on Valguero

[FoxC] Our Ragnarok base nicely lit up at night

[Ish] Contrast to my previous posted pic, this is “the beggining”. My first base on FS, on Ragnarok, April 2019. FS was much smaller and different back then, but still was as fun as it is today. This really was the first server I was happily building on letting the kid in me do the building.

[Phokxx] The first screenshot from Phokxx in the screenshots channel on Discord

[Nial] Was a long way from done but it was going well

[Phokxx] Valguero lakeside villa

[gogogoffi] Cute couple!

[jdab] I’ve become “known” for having a fondness for Parasaurs and have amassed a collection of almost 300 rare Parasaurs in my time on the server. It was only right that I chose Parasaurs as my first breed project on the server, and got them to level 1779 (all stats 254). I then finished my second project, Carnotaurus, with 3 days to spare before the server was wiped.

[lildino]

[Mouse] Dublin base on Valguero

[MasterPena] My main base on the server, probably the neatest looking build I made. I should have made it wider so I could raise sharks!

[FOXShadowOps] My final base on the Island

[Bender] Exploring Genesis 1 on my penis head

[jdab] My first attempt at using CKF – I found the spot I’d always wanted on Ragnarok for an outpost and tried to get a little more creative than my usual box bases, although it basically ended up as a box anyway; however, this one has a bridge!

[Deacon] Tribe Wood Choppers on Ragna, a duo of me and Teqna. The dinos we managed to max and breed in our tribe colors manually. Very happy about these, bless their souls.

[backyardzoo] Was just a little house, but served me well

[Shalut] Our Little castle build on Ragnarok – Gamer Gang (with Jordan and Ricey). 1st time I did a bigger build in ARK. Sadly already torn down, but I believe some people had seen it in its full glory

[Ykea] Crystal Isles, Reliquary Tribe. Some of the creatures I’ll miss most

[Vendy] My Base on Ragnarok

[Mouse] Rare tames

[Burnsy] UKClan Centre Base on the OG Friendly Server from before the last wipe

[Alpha Nostrils & Soph] Genesis 2 base where we tribed with jdab

[Skyla] All my favourite dinos I tamed

[Ykea] And shoulder pets of course!

[Eldyo] My favourite Crystal Wyverns I won in a treasure hunt. I hate I have to leave them behind.

[FoxC] When we just opened up Crystal Isles, I had a little bit of time to play before the big ‘final sprint’ of my uni education. In this time I built myself a nice little greenhouse and was gifted a beautiful green water Crystal Wyvern by my friends the Bobbleheads. Out of all the dinos, this is the one I cherish the most.

[Nial] Shadowmanes

[Falken] Rainbow Crystal Wyvern

[Raghav102] My base on Extinction

[Bender] My favourite psychopath

[backyardzoo] Couple of my favorites

[Phokxx] Building… it’s what I do

[Vendy] My Base on Ragnarok

[FOXShadowOps] My first rare tame, Rainbow Spino on The Island. Didnt know about Immersive Taming at the time so I did it the old fashioned way

[OrangeJuice458] This is my base on The Island – tribe is OJ Inc. I loved this base to bits, took me ages to build and over 1 million metal gathered using just 1 Anky and 1 Argy (they were very tired afterwards)

[gogogoffi] Went for Obsidian – stayed for the views!
