Testimonials
“Astral is my all time favourite unofficial Ark server because their rates are so similar to official rates, which I enjoy, with the added benefit of some useful mods.
On top of this, the community is absolutely fab and their admins are more than happy to answer any questions in-game or via Discord.”

“Astral Ark gets our #1 recommendation for the best Ark PVE server.“

“Great server with active amazing admins.
Joined the Atlas server after leaving Official due to the toxicity, and stuck around to also play on their Ark servers due to their work, the server settings and the friendly community.”
Jason Bourne
“Played many many many unofficial servers.
This cluster is the most social and toxic free community, also pretty close to vanilla without too many mods.Recommended!”
Shorty
“Truly the best private server I have played on, not just in ARK, but all over. The cluster got a good community of players and some extra tweaks to give new players a fighting chance without the PvP part of the game taking too big of a hit. And it got its very own event server for some extra fun on the side.
Why the admins do all this work is beyond me, but it’s in my eyes the only place to be.“
