Maybe a little too much forward planning worked against you?
I have said it before, your servers need to be wiped every 4-6 weeks to keep up player numbers.I know you meant well by giving everybody ample time for this great event but the timing of the event coincided with a massive drop in player numbers. All the healthy servers around have been wiped in October and then there is over 100 other servers with no players. PlayArk has been around long enough to stay populated but keeping these long wipe times kills your player base. I seem to have this same statement every second month for the past year when players disappear.
Unofficials have now become 15/20x to counter the long build times, most Ark players are long term players who dont want to spend 300 hours building a massive base every 4/8/8 or even 12 weeks. I think its time you make some massive changes to keep up with the times or otherwise this may potentially be the last we see of playark

You will constantly hear people whinge that they dont want to wipe but they end up up moving on 2 weeks later. I know you like to listen to the masses but it seems like Ark players dont even know what they want.
