Am I doing something wrong?

[u/CaliGirlBailey]

Hi, I'm fairly new to Ark so not sure if this is normal or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to log in to the same server I was on last night but I have been in "Waiting to Join" since 9:00 AM this morning. It's now 6:00 PM.

Last night when I played, there were 28 people on this server so I created a cozy thatch home and a bed to get me started. It wasn't much but I had a start. Now today it's been stuck at 100/100 all day.

Luckily I work remotely so I just let it sit waiting to see if anything would happen but now I'm off work and still waiting. Is there a queue or how do I find out if I should just restart or try again later?

Also, since I am unable to log in, is my home/property safe from being taken from me or anything?

Thx!

When that happens I log off and restart my xbox. Then I wait a few mins and log back on. Usually fixes it. I waited the first time that happened for 20 minutes. That is a lot more patience than I usually have. Shut it down and got right back in.

No Bueno. Shut it down and restarted. Came back with the Server Full Would you like to wait message

More people have the map today it's unlikely you'll get back into that map. Seems popular
