Why Ark: Survival Evolved is the perfect stage for roleplayers

A small voice pipes up behind me. “Um, hello. Can you take me up north?”  

I turn to see the naked figure of a man standing on the edge of my raft. He is new to the server - a fact betrayed by his lack of clothes and low level. I question whether I should ignore his request, take him out to sea and push him overboard, but gradually think better of it. Instead, I hand him some pants and a cloth shirt and take him under my wing, transporting him wherever he needs to go.

Find out why one man almost spent a whole year playing Ark: Survival Evolved.

Travelling along the coast, I pull in close to the beach and soon another person jumps aboard. Then another. And another. Pretty soon, I have assembled a small crew. They ask me about my screen name - a play on a popular character from the The Secret of Monkey Island - and I answer with my best pirate accent through my microphone. It wins them over, so I bark some orders and set a course for Far’s Peak: as far as they are concerned, I am the mighty pirate LeChuck.
