Community Crunch 245: Extra Life & Free Weekend

Posted: 05 Nov 2020 02:23 PM PST

Get ready, our 24-hour Extra Life stream is approaching on November 7th at 10AM PST. We're anxious to beat or prior year record of $112,206.35 and see what good we can do for the kids through gaming and giving.

We'll be coming to you live from our Seattle Studio to bring 24 hours of entertainment, giveaways, Collector's Edition boxes, game keys, and much more! You don't want to miss out because at the top of the hour, every hour, we will be sharing juicy Genesis 2 details and teasers. If you want to know what's in store for Genesis II, be sure to tune in!

Donations over $2,500 USD will be added to the ARK permanently as "Extra Life Superfan"

As we reach various donation goals, we will increase the Official Server Network rates. If you're an ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile survivor, you're in luck! Our friends over at Grove Street Games will be matching our final rates for at least 24 hours at the close of our stream at 10am PST on Sunday, November 8th. We'll be extending the event past the regular 24 hours as a gesture towards those with slower connections who may be downloading for a portion of the livestream.

If you are interested in joining our team to help raise money, we'd love to have you! Check out this link[www.extra-life.org] for more information on how to get started. All donations go to the Extra Life organization and contribute to raising the Official Network rates!

For specialized game modes, we'll be using the rates below:

Tender Loving Care 3

November 7th also marks the date that the Tender Loving Care 3 update will be reaching PC, Xbox, and PS4. Aside from the dedicated reworks of the Stego and Mammoth you may have seen in prior Community Crunches, we've added a bunch of Quality of Life changes to make your time on the ARK more enjoyable. Check out this thread[survivetheark.com] for more information!

We'll be keeping you up to date as we hit our donation goals and increase rates on the Official Network but we'd love for the entire community to come and hang out with us while we raise money for a great cause. Pop a squat in our Official Discord or hang out in our Twitch chat[twitch.tv] when the action starts.

ARK Chaos Creator

ARK Chaos Creator is a unique addition to the sponsorship program; this isn't just a mod for ARK, the Chaos Creator mod will open a line from a twitch stream right to the game. Stream viewers can influence the game for the streamer either making things more difficult, giving them useful (Or sometimes ridiculously chaotic) gifts, or spawning a bunch of mayhem directly on top of them. There is also a version in the works to allow content creators to use channel points instead of bits if they choose.
