Question 7

Do your ARK servers support cross travel and what is Cross Travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes GTXGaming fully supports ARK Survival Evolved cross travel.

What is ARK Survival Evolved Cross Travel?

Cross-Travel, also known as Cross-ARK travel or server transfer, in "ARK: Survival Evolved," is a feature that allows players to transfer their characters, items, and even creatures between different ARK servers. This feature significantly enhances the gameplay experience by enabling players to explore and experience different maps and servers without losing their progress. Here's how it works:

Character Transfer: Players can upload their character data at an Obelisk or a Tek Transmitter, allowing them to then download and use that character on a different server. This includes the character's level, stats, and engrams.
Item Transfer: Players can also transfer items by uploading them into the Obelisk or Tek Transmitter. There are some restrictions on what items can be transferred, depending on the server settings.
Creature Transfer: Similarly, players can upload creatures to the Obelisk or Tek Transmitter and download them on another server. This is particularly useful for bringing tamed creatures to new environments or challenges.
Server Types: Not all servers support Cross-Travel. Official servers typically allow it, but some unofficial or private servers might have it disabled due to balancing concerns or to maintain a certain type of gameplay experience.
Cooldowns and Restrictions: There are often cooldowns and other restrictions in place to prevent abuse of the system, such as limits on how often you can transfer or restrictions on transferring certain high-value items or creatures.
Expanding Gameplay: Cross-Travel allows players to experience the full breadth of content in ARK across its various maps and server types. It makes the game more dynamic and gives players the freedom to join friends on different servers or partake in different server-specific events and challenges.
Risks and Considerations: While transferring, there's a risk of losing characters, items, or creatures if done incorrectly. Players should carefully follow the game's guidelines for server transfers to avoid any loss.

Cross-Travel is a key feature for players looking to fully explore the world of ARK: Survival Evolved, allowing for a more interconnected and diverse gaming experience.
