About Us

Owners: Chris and Mags

Currently hosted from: Our House, Nebraska, US

With nearly 9 years and about 12,000 hours of gameplay combined, it's safe to say Ark has been a BIG part of our lives. We launched the Dodo Empire servers on Christmas Eve of 2020 because we wanted to provide a reliable, comfortable place for players to grow roots. A safe place to have fun that's well-maintained and customized to the community. 

So that's what we're here for: to take care of the machines, to hear your feedback, and adjust/maintain the servers to be the best they can be for the people who play on them.
