Hearing Cohh and Bike' talk about DnL this morning, I'm "in."

I've been running an ARK server for a few months now with the RAGNAROK map. When I began that re-entry into playing ARK, I found the "ARK Server Manager." It (ASM) has been terrific to work with! And "good news everyone!" DnL has a server manager too!

Today I will be setting up and integrating the Dark and Light Server Manager with my ARK server. (specs: Intel i4770K @ 4gHz; 32gb RAM on 60mb up/down ISP.) Performance has been normal and I've not stress tested; I've been running 4-5 concurrent ARK users with only an occasional lag spike when dumping hundreds of items on the ground or traversing a object boundary (dungeons-exit or near very large bases).

For the DnL server manager forums, see http://dnlservermanager.freeforums.net/ ... /downloads

I could use a few folks to check if the "doogenation" server shows up on the list once I get things settled.

And, I hope to have both running on the same hardware today. If any of you are interested in no-PVP, build/rate friendly setting servers, ping me for the "doogenation" server password. For starters I'll limit ARK and DnL to about 15 concurrent users to make sure there are no performance issues. If there is interest in a PVE Cohhilition server, I'm happy to pitch in. I'd expect at least 30-50 concurrent users would be wanted, if not more. Will try and may hang out in discord this weekend in case there are birds of a feather that wish to flock together. (DoogenAC).

Just as with other Cohhilition "play areas" I ask that the chat and topics remain Safe for work. I am a bit more conservative and also ask that the environment be generally kid/family friendly. With that in mind will setup the server to diminish trolling/ganking, and will accelerate a few rates so that one can take on a few build/taming projects in a few hours of play time.

wish me luck!

Server is up, "DoogenationDnL" is the name for now. If I can get this stress tested will be happy to run it for folks' use.

check the DnL "unofficial" server list, turn "password protected" on in your filter.

password is CdnlC
