ARK: Survival Evolved continues to evolve with fun new events and updates – Easter included! The official ARK community notes proudly announce “Eggcellent Adventure is now live!”, meaning the ARK island has been decorated with a special Easter event and new cosmetics. As always, the official patch notes on the ARK forums are where hardcore survivors look for details on fixes and tweaks. There, you’ll find all the LiveOps news, community crunch updates, and bug fixes that keep the game running smoothly (even if the big DLC updates are mostly behind us).

These days, ARK: Survival Evolved is mostly in maintenance mode, especially since official servers on consoles were phased out as ARK shifts toward Survival Ascended. But that doesn’t mean ARK is dead – seasonal events like Easter egg hunts still arrive, and the devs still patch and polish the game. In short, your dinos still have plenty to do: hunt, build and survive in the latest ARK events while tracking performance fixes in the patch notes.

Why Host Your ARK Server on Pineriver?

When it comes to game server hosting, PineRiver is in a league of its own. Their ARK servers use powerful Ryzen processors (up to 5.6 GHz) and top-tier hardware, ensuring “unbeatable performance” even under heavy load. This means massive player counts, huge bases and hundreds of dinos won’t slow you down – PineRiver’s low-latency network and SSD storage keep things lag-free. You also get 99.9% uptime, automatic DDoS protection, and 24/7 support, so you can focus on playing (not firefighting server attacks). Plus, the intuitive control panel gives you one-click mod and plugin installs, letting you customize your ARK world with mods from the Steam Workshop or community (think Primal Fear, S+, etc.) without any hassle.

Best of all, PineRiver’s ARK hosting is cheap. Plans start at just about $3.80/month for a 4-core server – laughably low for dedicated hardware. Even an 8-core beast (for bigger tribes) is under $10/month. All hosting plans include features like automatic backups and full FTP access, so you never worry about losing progress. In a word: it’s top-tier performance at budget prices, perfect for any survivor.
