In my experience playing Ark, I have transferred between servers multiple times. The number of times you can transfer in Ark depends on a few factors. Let me break it down for you:
1. Server Limitations: Each server has its own transfer limit, which is set by the server administrator. This limit can vary from server to server, so it’s important to check the server rules or ask the admin about the transfer limit. Some servers may allow unlimited transfers, while others may have restrictions on the number of transfers you can make.
2. Character Transfers: When transferring between servers, you can bring your character with you. However, there are some limitations. Firstly, you can only transfer your character once every 24 hours. This means that if you transfer to a new server, you’ll have to wait a day before you can transfer to another server again.
3. Item Transfers: Apart from character transfers, you can also transfer items between servers. The Ark Data tab, accessed through the obelisks or supply drops, allows you to upload up to 50 items that can be taken with you to another server. However, there are no limitations on the number of times you can transfer items. You can upload and download items as many times as you want, as long as you have enough slots available in the Ark Data.
4. Cluster Transfers: Some servers are part of a cluster, which means they are interconnected and allow for easy transfers between them. In a cluster, you can transfer your character and items between any server within the cluster without any restrictions on the number of transfers. This can be a great option if you want to explore different maps or play with friends on different servers.
5. Official vs Unofficial Servers: It’s important to note that the rules and limitations on transfers may vary between official and unofficial servers. Official servers are managed by Wildcard, the developers of the game, and they have their own set of rules and restrictions. Unofficial servers, on the other hand, are managed by individual players or communities, and they may have their own unique transfer rules.
The number of times you can transfer in Ark depends on the server you are playing on and the limitations set by the server admin. It’s always a good idea to check the server rules or ask the admin for any specific restrictions before attempting transfers.
