@weekoldhotdog summed it up pretty well last time I saw this topic
I was the biggest solo tribe on 448. I owned a massive portion of land. Level 98 character (on official servers). I was breeding rexes, argents, wolves, sabercats, and several other dinos for stats and colors. I had many mutations. I didn't just have ascended blueprints, I had ascended blue prints that you could only get from mooooooooonths of checking under water drops and running cave runs all day on all the caves.
Don't get ark.
You have 7 day timers on your dinos. Up to 21 day timers on everything else if you upgrade to metal. Fact is, you'll be logging in every day for your timers. I did this for 2 years.
Know what it's like to breed baby dinos? Imagine setting your alarm clock for every 3 hours only AFTER you've been awake for over 24 hours getting eggs to hatch, then getting them out of baby stage and into juvanile. You then spend the next week setting your alarm clock to every 3 or 4 hours to feed your baby dinos.
When you lose these dinos and you WILL lose your dinos, you will be hurt. If someone trolls your base while you are offline, you will be hurt. You will put a LOT of time into this game. It will give you NOTHING in return.
You can seriously lose a lot, A LOT, playing this game. Not only will you never, EVER, touch your other games, you will find yourself a slave to your base.
