THIS IS THE LAST MONTH OF THE ARK SERVER!
My subscription to the host ends in 4 weeks! The total re-up fee if we want to continue is $66.00.
The host has been pretty good (usually its Steam or ARK that messes up the server) and they have top support
I can contribute only 20 next month. Of course ARK is still playable on tons of other public servers but this is just a heads up. I only signed up for the 4 month plan thingy. (YUP ITS BEEN THAT LONG!)
