Requirements
1.) Requirements

Joining a server should be quick and seamless - so we've put together this quick guide to get you in and enjoying the Glyph experience in no time! The first step, as with anything else, is knowing the requirements!

Glyph RP uses Discord as its primary communication method for all announcements and OOC information. You MUST be a member of our Discord to be a part of our community.

Our server is an 18+ server. There are many adult themes such as drugs, death, gore, racism, cursing, lewd jokes, sexual content, etc. If you are uncomfortable with any of these things, this might not be the best place for you.

This is a modded roleplay server for the PC version of Ark: Survival Ascended . Other than our modlist found on our server info page, you will need the Center and Lost Island DLCs installed to play. For information on PC requirements for ASA, see the System Requirements section on the game's Steam Store page. Note that an SSD is required for ASA's installation.

Disclaimer: We do not allow account share or family share accounts. It needs to be an account that you yourself own. We also do not allow VAC banned accounts.

Start thinking up ideas for your character! There's many resources online to help provide inspiration, such as the Backstory Description Generator or the Life Generator . Note that your backstory cannot be taken verbatim from generator sites, as you will need to specify how your character is uniquely tied to the homebrewed world of Glyph.

Some questions to think about could include:

  • What is your character's name, and does it have any special meaning?
  • What race is your character, and what do they look like?
  • What was their early childhood like? How will this shape them?
  • How has your character progressed through life? Did they gain any special skills, meet a special someone, commit crimes, etc.?
  • What makes your character who they are today?
  • What good traits does your character have? What flaws do they have?
  • How do they act? Think about their personality and how their life may have affected it.

We recommend keeping a copy of your backstory handy by saving it somewhere before submitting your application. Backstories must be at least 1,000 characters long, and should adhere to common guidelines that would be present on any roleplay server. See the next section for more information on what to avoid when writing.

Some of the most common pitfalls in backstory writing include:

  • Plagiarism. Don't copy a story from historical figures or characters from fictional media. Inspiration is good, but your backstory should be your own.
  • Writing your character into power. Don't write yourself into any type of leadership or integral role. Everyone begins on the same playing field. Don't say you're the tyrant ruler of the Dwarven Kingdom of Aleron when there isn't a Dwarven Kingdom of Aleron.
  • Writing your character into another setting, or coming from somewhere that does not exist. Don't claim that you come from the Realm of Mooshroom Cows as a divine agent of Joe the Cow Man. All characters must adhere to Glyph's custom world setting.
  • Ignoring the server rules. Don't skip reading the rules and try to apply - there are many questions on the application that require knowledge of the rules, as Glyph plays much differently than the vanilla game. Make sure to read all rules thoroughly, and have answers ready for what metagaming, FailRP, and powergaming is!
Character & Backstory
2.) Character & Backstory

The next step is planning out your character! There are a few pages you'll need to look at before making a backstory: rules, races, and lore. All other information can either be obtained in-game or here on our website. If you have any questions regarding lore or character creation, please submit a help ticket in the Discord.

Whitelist Application

3.) Whitelist Application

The last step is to condense all of your ideas and character plans into a whitelist application. Now that you're familiar with our community and in-game rules as well as our custom world setting, it's time to apply!
