Have you ever noticed while playing ARK, the server randomly becomes unstable, and unplayable, especially in the middle of PVP conflicts? Well ladies and gentleman, you are experiencing a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. This attack is done from a computer or app, that will reduce the performance of a server, website, ect.. This illegal method of causing havoc upon online services is far to easy to do. When taking matters into ARK, ARK is a server based game, and DDoS affects this type of game far worse then any match made games. The change that needs to be made may cost money, but if the problem continues Wildcard Studios will lose more money in the end. DDoS is the leading reason why so many of us survivors have stopped playing ARK. We love and enjoy the game, and feel it's perhaps one of the best video game concepts of all time. But we are unable to enjoy  it because we are not protected, nor is the hard work we spend months creating. The change that needs to be made isn't hard at all. ARK servers continute to be DDoSed do to the server IP addresses being static. This means that they  continue to have the same IP and do not automatically change. What they should have are dynamic IPs. Which would mean everytime a server is effected the IP address automatically changes. This would solve so many issues, and truly make the ARK experience much better. The community agrees this is what needs to be done and this is the change ARK needs! I hope that this change can be made, or an alternative that will solve this problem. 

Sincerely,
The ARK Community
