ARK - We Aren't Meant to Live Forever Extended 1 Hour 

This plays as a boss track whenever you are within 1000m radius around any of the ARK developers.

Starting to think this is a hidden message from the devs telling us that Snail Games is killing Ark and that it's not meant to live forever and is fine if it dies. Everything has it's time, and it's not a bad thing.

Listening to this just days after losing one of my good friends, with whom I played countless hours of Ark. I will miss him and the time we had together. I will play Ark in the future in his memory. It's going to be difficult to play Extinction when it's available since that was the map we spent most of our time on.

I can go on forever about Ark, but I will keep it short. Ark itself is truly amazing, the story line, the music, the emotions, the trials, and the deaths all have added up to create our own personal journey within this game, no, our story. The feelings and experiences we have gone through when playing this masterpiece is like no other. This isn't just my favorite game. This is my life, for we have endured so much within this journey. It's a part of us and it's what makes us. We will never get anything like this again, as every game is unique in its own way. But this is something I wish I could experience..... one more time, as I came from searching for a good survival game on mobile to playing on console. Every person I have met, friend or foe, has made me into who I am. Sadly, this is the end of this chapter. Ark has inspired me in so many ways that I could not tell every human being on earth even if I had all the time in the world. In the end, death is inevitable, but the stories shall remain for eternity. Even if no one cares to listen, it still happened. As we progress into this new Era, I ask this of you, Ark Survival Evolved. Please remember me as I will forever remember you, for I love you. Thank you for everything.❤🎉😢

I was listening to this masterpiece on repeat then youtube automatically sent me here.

This thing gives me nostalgia like minecraft musics it is epic I remember grinding ark for hours on summer holidays with friends taming my first giga etc and this music just makes everything more emotional

In my opinion, Ark Survival has so much boundary pushing ability that if it was in the hands of a better publisher. This gaming franchise would without a doubt be vastly bigger than what it already is. Talk about un-tapped potential! It is a game that offers an incredible mixture of gaming mechanics that come together so beautifully. Remarkable game - astounding soundtrack. Thank you.

Some might say this game is just a game but in reality it has always been and always will be more than that

This brings me back to the good old days of Ark for sure. I remember the first update that came out for me was when the Diplodocus was added to the game. When Scorched Earth came out and I tamed a Jerboa, I thought it was so freaking adorable, it's been by my side ever since. Yes, up to this day, that exact Jerboa I tamed and named Noodles is still with me, lol. I have even defeated bosses with Noodles on my shoulder. It's been there when I defeated the Broodmother, Megapithecus, Dragon, Overseer, Center crew, Manticore, Ragnarok guardians, Rockwell, the three Titans and even the King Titan on all difficulties. Had to take a bit of a break after that, small burnout from the game, but I returned helping my friends beat the game. The first thing I did was Upload & download my Jerboa so it's back with me in the new world, had to use a cheat to give it to me basically and once more it's been there when taking on the Broodmother, Megapithecus and Dragon we're currently preparing for the Overseer. Getting her into Aberration was hell though, had to use mods to get it to work since you can't naturally download the Jerboa onto that map for some reason. Noodles is now a Max. Level Jerboa obviously being as old as 7 years by this point and probably with a lot of mental health issues seeing all those gargantuan bosses. This time now that I am helping friends beat the game, I am pushing through taking on all other maps as well that's been released. One thing is for sure, inside of the boss arenas, everybody for themselves if they don't listen to strategy and tactics since I'm keeping my little buddy safe first thing first.

Its surreal to see this game become as beloved to people as, say, the old Halo games Halo was arround before I was born. A pillar of joy that had always been there But Ark... I was already old enough to have a good understanding of things when Ark came out And now I've gotten to see it grow on people and become a similar pillar. This legendary game as beloved as Halo is to me And with music just as good ;)

great videogames have a way of creating reference points in life that is pretty insane

The music, the photo they chose for it, and the ARK lore/story all come together in this brilliant masterpiece. I have no words to describe this, honestly. As someone who started playing ARK the moment it first came out, this soundtrack means a lot to me. It's a big bunch of emotions all at once. RIP ARK SE. You'll live on in our private servers forever.

this is a game truly like no other, beautiful lore, music and gameplay tbh

this game means so much to me, I've been playing since it first dropped on Xbox game preview and have witnessed all the updates and you bet I'll be there for ASA day one. Even though Wildcard can be difficult at times I appreciate the company so much for bringing this masterpiece into existence.

I have to admit i did not know this was a video game soundtrack. I just thought it was some or orhestrestal masterpiece. It still is. I used this to write a very sad scene in my novel and I truly thank you for putting this out. You helped me out so much. I will always come back to this.

Very few things affect me emotionally. This track gets me misty every time. It is full of the wonder and power of the Ark journey, as well as the sad and triumphant end of that journey. All good things must come to resolution. This game is an absolute masterpiece. I will never tire of it, nor thank the devs enough for gifting it to the world and enduring the scorn of so many in the process. We certainly aren't meant to live forver, but with any luck... Ark will. Rest in peace, survivor. Your trials are over. The monsters are gone. Humanity is saved.

When I first started playing ark, I was under the impression that I was just bad at videogames. It was a misconception about myself that I held for a long time, and allowed to hold me back. But despite how brutally hard this game was for me, it was also so fascinating, and unlike anything else that I have ever played that it pushed me to want to keep playing. It made me want to keep trying. Over the years I feel I've kind of had my own "hero's journey" with it. I had my mentors, I had my friends, I had my failures. I put my trust in people I shouldn't have, and payed the price for it, but came out stronger in the end. I eventually found that I didn't need anyone else to carry me, I found that I had the strength and skill to do anything I wanted on my own, and it was by my choice that I included others on it. Because after all, it is rather lonely to go it alone. By the time this whole crazy adventure was over, I truly felt like a hero. I respect this game for the lessons it taught me, and the strength it has brought me over the years.

like how symbolic the name is, huge homage to the mistakes of Rockwell, and how Ark SE Officials are ending, and doing both of those great service in the emotion in the music, the little chimes remind me of the explorer notes, how fascinated Rockwell and Helena were with their situation, the efforts of Nerva, the strength of Mei Yin, and in its final moments of the song, it emulates humanities endurance with the opera voice/chorus, despite trial, humanity survives with the colony ships Eden ring, making Santiago (v#?) and everyone elses sacrifices worth it

Game of the Decade for me. Lots of depth and lots of quirks. Enjoyable in both PvP and PvE.

ark is my favourite game!the grpahics the highly advanced gameplay the lore the music the worlds the creatures the items i love it all the combat is also not all basic you have to stop in place while using inventory and also the stamina mechanic

I met the love of my life through this game and played on official for 7 years... This cuts deep, but I guess our story will restart/continue in the new one :)

since 2017 playing that shit and loved it and this music brings good memories and friends

even so the end of one era is the beginning of another we leave behind our legacy to create another what we once achieved we shal achieve again let our experiences guide us through our coming journeys for the ones that have passed will be with us forever and always

for nothing can sever the bond which all players have with ark and our memories and friends we made along the way the journey ahead may be the roughest yet but it isn't the first nor will it be the last make what you can with what you have and let it inspire others to create a long living masterpiece that shal live on in all our hearts until the day we die goodbye ase and thank you for everything

I will say this one last time… Ark Survival Evolved didn’t have to be executed, in order to create Ark Survival Ascended ☝️ It wasn’t necessary. But I never gave up like the rest… I kept breeding my Carchars and Gigas. Now I lnow the true power of the Carchar 😤 He can almost become invincible after many kill streaks, fast healing and increased dps. My topstats fully imprinted Carchar can slaughter multiple wild gigas 😎

This sends me down a nostalgia trip

the one game i have stuck with since release on pc. and infact the main reason why i even got into pc gaming. i will always support this game no matter. i have witnessed and been in some of the biggest wars in ark history been in some of the most toxic and frndly tribes. TEA GANG GANG Kindred Hands And many more that i have grown with. ark has its own world of ppl and the way we interact with eachother makes this community one of the craziest and exciting out of any game i have played. im ready for ASA. built a 5k dollar gaming pc just to play it at its best possible way. see you all there. -ThePrince
