Terms of Use

The rules for using ARK Charts. Last updated 27 July 2026.

The short version

ARK Charts is free and run by one person as a hobby. The data is best-effort and sometimes wrong. Be reasonable in the comments, do not hammer the site with scripts, and do not rely on a wipe countdown for anything that actually matters. If something is wrong, email us and it gets fixed.

What ARK Charts is

A free, unofficial site that lists ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended servers and tracks their player counts, cluster sizes, and wipes.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Studio Wildcard, Snail Games, or Discord. Using the site means you are happy with what is on this page and in the Privacy Policy.

Accuracy

Server data comes from ARK's public server list and refreshes every few minutes. Cluster names, wipe times, and cluster ages are worked out by software making its best guess, and it gets things wrong.

Wipe countdowns come from server owners' own announcements and from automatic detection. Treat them as a strong hint, not a promise — owners move wipes, and the detection misreads things. Do not make plans you would regret based on anything here.

Your account

You do not need an account to browse. If you make one, keep your sign-in details to yourself and do not impersonate anyone — one person, one account.

We can suspend or delete an account being used to spam, harass, or break these terms, and will normally ask about it first.

Comments

Your comments stay yours. Posting one gives us permission to display it on the site, nothing more.

Keep them civil. No harassment, slurs, spam, advertising, personal information about other people, or anything illegal. Comments pass through an automatic filter, and we can remove anything without notice. A removed comment is not a judgement about you.

Using the site

Browse it, link to it, screenshot it, quote it. What we ask:

  • Do not scrape it hard enough to knock it over. There are rate limits and they are not a challenge.
  • Do not try to break into it or into other people's accounts.
  • Do not republish the data as if it were your own.

If you want the data in bulk for something, just ask — it is more likely to be a yes than a no.

The Discord bot

The ARK Charts Wipe Bot reads wipe-announcement channels in server owners' Discord communities so their wipes can appear as countdowns here.

It only joins when someone with Manage Server permission invites it, only reads the channels it has been pointed at, and cannot post, send messages, or moderate. Removing it from your server settings stops everything immediately. The Privacy Policy covers what it stores and how to have that deleted.

If you run a server

Server and cluster names come from the servers themselves, as published in ARK's public list.

If something about your cluster is wrong — the name, a wipe time, a merge that should not have happened, an age that reset when it should not have — email us and it gets corrected. If you would rather your Discord invite was not shown on the site, say so and it comes off.

Names and trademarks

ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended are trademarks of Studio Wildcard. Discord is a trademark of Discord Inc. ARK Charts uses those names only to describe what it covers, claims no rights in them, and is not endorsed by their owners.

Availability

This runs on one small server and goes down sometimes. There is no uptime guarantee, no support commitment, and no promise that any particular feature will keep existing. If the site is ever shut down for good, we will try to give notice first.

Liability

ARK Charts is provided as-is, with no warranty of any kind. It is a free hobby project: as far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from using the site, from the data being wrong, or from the site being unavailable. Some places do not allow those limits, and there they apply only as far as they can.

Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top updates when they do, and anything significant will be announced on the site. Continuing to use ARK Charts after a change means you accept it.

Corrections, questions, or complaints: [email protected].
