Hi everyone
Firstly, let me say that when it comes to raiding complaints and such on this server - the admins are very involved. For example, a previous player who threw a grenade on another tribe's building, had it bounce off and hit his OWN ptera and killed it, got killed and then that tribe retaliated and started war with his tribe and sent in their dino's. The original grenadier came on teamspeak and started going crazy he's passive dino's are being killed etc etc... Right there and then I jumped in, paused the raid, by taking control of all dino's. Long story short, my interference caused me my 220 level argent that was my prized bird because it was maxed out and had like 220% movement etc etc.
By trying my best to look after a tribe not being raided to smithereens, turns out the person overreacted and admitted they didn't kill his passive things. I lost in that battle and that was me trying to keep a fair server.
So to sum that up, official servers are ruthless, if it's PvP you won't see an admin interfering or even worrying about someone being wiped out. Like it says on the label, "Survival" ; "PVP". That's enough to say you better survival because it's pvp, anything can happen...
I try and keep some raiding rules and ethics, and I've been going around bases that were raided. I saw that their tools are still standing, ie. fabricator, smithies, etc. I also saw that stuff like wood and primitive tools, hide, etc was still in chests and stuff. So I can't agree with griefing on this server, as the people who raid are taking what they need and leaving the rest. They're not destroying stuff to keep you down and they're not breaking chests to have resources they didn't take despawn.
I try to be an extremely involved admin, Laz as well, he's on to help during the day I'm on at night mostly. We try and make it fun for everyone. We don't want ruthless or unnecessary PVP, but we don't want PVE, right? ...
Joker, after a while the real story came out, you were raided because one of your tribe-mates made a weakness for you. Someone was flying by, and saw a door opened, came from the back, landed and there's your generator, naturally turned it off, and shut downed your turrets doing so. It appears after you or someone in your tribe was swearing at them over voice, things escalated. You were extremely upset because apparently passive dino's were killed, not sure why passive, I've stated number of times, we can't prove dinos are on passive if they're dead already, and if you read the story above you will believe I don't even want to hear passive dino kill moaning either. False accusations cost me my personal flyer.
After this whooooleeeee event was over, we talked over teamspeak, I as nice enough to offer you the opportunity to come join the admin tribe (we're playing like normal players, we've been since day 1, we have good resources from gathering longer than anyone on the server) - we are established, you'll be protected, and you can get your revenge... You didnt want that either.
I then even offered you, when you cool down and want to come back, I'll give you a beef starter kit that will put you back similar to what you had (THATS GOING OVER THE TOP)!! -- I never heard from you again, and now I read your 'review' of the server.
So admins have been trying to work with you, we've been going over the top to help you enjoy PvP in our tribe where you can't be touched. We've offered you to cool down and come back and get your base back. We don't need to do this, you lost... But I enjoyed your company on the server and wanted to make you happy. Nothing I can do seems to make you happy, maybe PvP isn't for you, I've been hosting this to see it enough times, people spend hours building and gathering what they have, and if they're raided and lose their stuff, it's all in vain and they get angry. This game needs no attachment to succeed in it.
Finally, this server is super involved, the new players are being helped from other tribes sides and from admin sides with the starter kit base when they join. We don't condone unethical raiding and griefing. IF you read this whole post you will see the efforts I've put in to help players I feel are being treated unfairly. We have rules, they change as the thing goes on and now we're voting on a new set of raiding rules, we just implemented a no raiding mod 0:00 - 10:00am. I don't want to move away from PvP but I want to give people a fair chance. This is a really nice server to play on, we spend a lot of time and money making this thing happen, we're serious about it. I wanted to share just this post with you, regarding what has happened before and what Joker was talking about. I consider this thing resolved.
