Link your ARK character

Once your character is linked, servers recognise you for sure, even if you change your name or make a typo when voting.

Your votes always count

No more votes lost to a mistyped name.

Your rewards arrive

The server knows who to deliver them to, even if you change your name.

Your own display name

With an account on the site, choose the name you want to show: rankings, map status, winners.

The simplest

Your server has the “Link” button on its Discord

1
Join one of the server’s maps, then click the “🔗 Link” button on its Discord.

🔗 Link 🗳️ Vote
2
Give your platform name: the bot sends you a code as a private message, in the game.

[Discord] Your link code: K7P2QX - type it on Discord. If you didn't ask for it, ignore this message.
3
Type this code on Discord: done, you’re recognised for good.

✅ Your character DodoRider is now linked to your Discord account on Your ARK server!

Bonus: also connect your Discord to your site account (My account): your character is picked up automatically, and votes made from the site are recognised.

Otherwise

Your server doesn’t have this button

Create a free account on the site, then in “My account › My ARK character”, enter your EOS ID by hand. When you vote while logged in, your vote comes with your EOS ID: the server can use it to recognise you.

It depends on the server: ask the owner whether they use it. An EOS ID typed by hand isn’t checked in game, so it’s not enough on a server that requires a linked account. Where do I find my EOS ID?

No account yet?

Link on Discord works without an account. The free account adds recognised votes from the site and your display name.

Which name should I use?

ℹ️ By default, the only name the server sees (through RCON, in the list of connected players) is the platform name: Steam, Epic, PlayStation or Xbox.

👉 By default, type your platform name (DodoRider). But your server decides: check its instructions (its Discord, its vote page) to know which name to use.

Name	Example	What it’s for
💬 Discord name	~~LunaSky~~	❌ Not for voting Only on Discord (mentions, private messages).
🎮 Platform name	DodoRider	✅ By default Steam, Epic, PlayStation or Xbox: the only name the server sees. That’s the one to type on the vote page.
🦖 Character name	Bernard	⚠️ Depends on the server Only works if the server’s plugin or bot has already linked the player to their character.

🔗 Once linked (Link), all three are joined under one EOS ID: the player is recognised whatever name they type, and always shows under their platform name.

🔒 Players’ EOS IDs are never shown publicly. Server owner? This way.
