I've already set up ASM on my four year old machine.
This machine uses an i7 with 12 cores and 32gb of ddr3 ram, two one terabyte ssd drives and a two GB ddr drive.
Tonight we are going to add a second map and play around with that.
My question is: We want to transition away from our four server cluster which is hosted at about $100.00 per month.
Each server has about an average of 12 players at peak times except for Ragnarok which has upwards of 30.
Can anyone share their computer specs of a machine running four servers with 30 slots per server? Or something similar?
In the long run we think it may be cheaper to build a computer as our host server and see how that goes.
Thanks in advance.

Hardware requirements are pretty low for an Ark server, CPU>2Ghz 1-2 cores and 6gb Ram per map. My server is an 2012 era Dell R720 rackmount PC with dual E5-2689 2.6ghz 8-core processors and 144GB of RAM and 6-600GB 15k SAS drives in RAID 10. Network requirements are pretty minimal, with 15 players online my bandwidth usage was less than 100kb/s. Used enterprise gear can be found cheap and make great game servers. I use Proxmox to host my VM's I have 10 maps running on a Win10 VM, another Linux VM hosting several Minecraft servers, another Win10 VM hosting a FiveM server and several other Linux containers running various network and web hosts. Server runs well and have never noticed any rubber banding that wasn't related to my 20/2mb/s internet connection. I don't have huge populations of players but that would impact my bandwidth more than the hardware. Mods can increase the load on the CPU and RAM usage so faster clock speed are a benifit but not a primary consideration and some mods on heavily populated servers may need slightly more than 6gb RAM.

Thank you for the reply. I'm at work right now, but I'll post the server we are looking at buying when I can and see if that is sufficient.
Thanks again.
