Friendly banter is welcome. Personal attacks are not.
Friendly, Fair and Community First
Rules & Guidelines
By playing on our servers or participating in our Discord, you agree to follow these community rules.
DoPpleGang Community
📜 Community Rules & Guidelines
Welcome to DoPpleGang. Our goal is simple: provide a fair, friendly, and stable gaming community where everyone can enjoy playing without unnecessary drama.
⚖️ 2. Play Fair
Cheating, exploiting, griefing, bug abuse, or using third-party software is strictly prohibited.
If you discover a bug or exploit, report it through a ticket rather than using it for personal gain.
💬 3. Keep Chat Friendly
Please keep Discord and in-game chat welcoming for everyone.
Avoid excessive spam, arguments, trolling, or intentionally creating drama.
👮 4. Respect Staff
Our admins and moderators are volunteers who give up their own time to help the community.
Please follow reasonable staff instructions.
If you disagree with a decision, discuss it calmly through our ticket system rather than in public chat.
🎫 5. Use the Ticket System
If you need support, please create a ticket.
This allows the first available staff member to help you and ensures issues are properly logged.
Please avoid sending direct messages to staff unless specifically requested.
❤️ 6. Community First
Respect other players, their bases, their time, and their enjoyment of the game.
Do not intentionally ruin another player’s experience.
When in doubt, ask before acting.
Players found deliberately using PvP tactics on PvE servers, griefing, or attempting to ruin the experience of others may have their tribe wiped, their account suspended, or be removed from the community.
💙 7. Donations & Support
DoPpleGang is a non-profit community.
All donations go directly towards server costs, infrastructure, and community improvements.
Donating does not provide immunity from the rules or special treatment.
⚠️ 8. Warnings & Enforcement
Staff will always aim to educate before taking action where appropriate.
Repeated or serious rule violations may result in warnings, mutes, kicks, temporary bans, or permanent bans depending on the severity of the offence.
Where practical, enforcement decisions are discussed privately by the staff team to ensure they are fair, consistent, and based on the available evidence.
Once a decision has been reached by DoP Staff, it is considered final. Repeatedly arguing or attempting to circumvent staff decisions may result in further action.
🌱 Helping New Players
We encourage everyone to welcome and help new players by answering questions, sharing knowledge, and offering advice.
However, please avoid skipping their progression by handing out high-end gear, powerful tames, boss carries, or other items that remove the sense of achievement the game is built around.
Learning, exploring, and earning your progress is part of the ARK experience. Help new players succeed, don’t play the game for them.
📢 Our goal is not to create more rules than necessary. Most issues can be avoided by treating others with respect and using a little common sense. If you’re ever unsure, just ask a member of staff—we’re always happy to help. Rules may evolve as the community grows. Updates will always be announced.
ARK: Survival Ascended
☘️ ARK: PvE Rules — Friendly & Fair
Welcome back! Build, explore, and enjoy the craic — just respect the community and the map.
🧱 1. PvE Means PvE
No PvP or traps that can kill players or tames.
Traps must be picked up after use. Multiple abandoned traps may lead to a tribe wipe or ban.
🌍 2. Build Smart
1 main base + 1 small outpost per map.
Don’t block caves, artifacts, spawns, or resources. Admins may ask for relocation if needed.
🦖 3. Dinos & Breeding
Keep breeding reasonable — no laggy idle herds.
Cryopod unused dinos and clean up abandoned ones.
🤝 4. Respect Each Other
No griefing, stealing, or blocking players. Talk it out or open a ticket if needed.
🚫 5. No Cheats
No dupes, mesh building, or third-party programs. Report bugs; don’t abuse them.
🧭 6. Admins & Community
Admins keep the server smooth and fair. Reports via tickets are handled properly.
We’re all the neighborhood watch here.
💬 7. Golden Rule
If you wouldn’t like it done to your base — don’t do it to others.
Community Support
Donation Policy
Donations are completely optional and are never required to play or take part in the DoPpleGang community. Any support we receive goes back into the community, helping with server costs, new maps, services and continued development.
Because these contributions are used toward ongoing community expenses, donations are considered non-refundable. If you believe a payment was made by mistake or there is an issue with a donation, please open a support ticket so we can look into it with you.
Supporter rewards and benefits are our way of thanking members who choose to help support DoPpleGang. Where a payment is reversed or disputed, any associated supporter benefits may be removed until the matter has been resolved.
We appreciate everyone who supports DoPpleGang, whether through donations, server boosts, helping other players, taking part in events or simply being an active member of the community.
