Major changes, feature additions, and gameplay adjustments are often discussed with players through feedback, suggestions, and community voting.

Donators receive store points, 90-day decay timers, and bonuses as a thank you for helping cover server and development costs.

About Us
Started in 2017 by a fan and player of Ark: Survival Evolved who would go on to give the Cluster its name, the Scruffy PvE community has a long, colourful, and wonderful history supported by a friendly community where everyone is welcome! Moving on from its roots in Ark: Survival Evolved, the cluster now focuses on Ark: Survival Ascended.
With boosted rates as well as a solid set of rules and guidelines that support fairness, collaboration, and a true sense of community, playing on Scruffy is a fun experience where you can truly express your Ark-ness in the best ways possible!
Just as all of the admins have only been players of both Ark: Survival Evolved and Ark: Survival Ascended for many years, they have been involved with the cluster and its community for many years and they have a vested interest in supporting the community and continuing to make this cluster a fantastic place to be.
