A Time For Moving On.

[Hillsand 54]

I have been rather inactive lately due to school and just playing other things with friends and I always would come here to check up on my stuff but today I found something that finally put me off edge I suppose you could say. I know after this post I will most likely be banned but here it goes. Today I found that every item I have worked for on this server was deleted by the Gm husky and everyone in my crew was banned from the server except me.. They were banned fro duping. Now my crew is a 6 man crew who has been on this map from the start so you can imagine we had a lot and it took time to get all the things we had. We also had a chest full of diamond armor sets, we had obtained these by going into the village oakenvale, the village was owned by Iboaz and there we saw villagers so we traded with them. We then saw that after a few days of trading with them that many were killed, so we took a few to keep as our own. Me and my friends were banned for this in which we appealed because none of us knew trading with villagers was bannable, seeing as it is not on the rule page. We were eventually unbanned. And so we went off and made our own little secluded keep where we stored all our items, this is very recent, we did this perhaps two weeks ago. But now all my friends are banned and all my items deleted for apparently duping, although all items that were "duped" were from trading with villagers. But this was the last straw for me, this was the second time husky has banned me, or friends for something related to this. We had learned our lesson the last time and never messed with villagers again, seeing as they were also all killed. So this being banned for duping I find rather ridiculous. Especially when my friends who have never duped are targeted. Though I am angry about this I can't say it's really a big deal, the reality is, is that this is a game played for enjoyment, and I feel that by playing this I am just stressing myself out even more. I remember back when I was really young watching youtubers playing the map Ageis and I thought wow this server looked cool... Perhaps back then the server truly was as fun as it looked. I joined on the map Asulon, I was not known well but I played a dwarf and woah it was great, the teamwork the rp the war with the orcs! Now the dwarves are great friends with orcs? Things sure have changed, for the better or worse, it is a matter of perspective really. But truly in the end I think minecraft has just lost it's touch, and now it is time I do something else. So I say good bye, I know many of you don't know me, but I had fun here for a bit.

 

This special section is dedicated to all my friends in Amyas and all the people I had encounters with while in Amyas:

 

You guys took me in when I started getting back into this server and you guys were great! we rp'd we did a hell of a lot of building and we just had random fun like burning villages, preaching in the town square, hug stabbing people, and building a fungeon! You guys were always fun to talk to and share experiences with, and I hope some of us may stay in contact. And Altiak I think you were one of the better people on this server I truly do. Perhaps I ended things with you in not the best of ways but I feel it had to be done.

 

Now for the dwarves, man you guys are cool, you guys know teamwork and rp and really I think you guys are just about having a good time. Something I wish I could have done more on this server, sadly most of our encounters were not good ones and typically ended with me being chased by both dwarves and orcs. But in the end my character made peace with you guys and played some odd game of dice.

 

Now I can't finish a leaving post without adding any rp can I?

 

*Tyon walks around his keep looking through each room wondering what went wrong* why had the sky gods cursed him? They took all his items,the years of building up enough to sustain himself and his brothers, just gone. But even worse they took his brothers... *He then moves his way to the balcony and stares out on the snow capped mountains around him* "Such beautiful land, that is why we came here..." *Tyon walks to his fire pit and something shiny catches his eye, his old cross of Loraine that he wore around this neck...* He picks it up and stares at it for a long moment before pocketing it. He then reignites the fire, here he would spend the last of his days, here he would grow old and die, or perhaps here he would await the return of his brothers.

I have to say this server was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had. It is a shame to be banned without warning, or reason. after looking back and thinking about the hordes of loot we had stored up, its entirely reasonable why the moderators assumed we were cheating. If I was considering playing this server as much as I used to, I guarantee everything we own can be explained reasonably, and fairly. We did not play this server as abusive cheaters, and it is a shame to be labeled as such. Our diamond armor was obtained through villagers, but that is one of the 3 things we intently collected from them. As was stated in this post earlier, we had been playing since the release of this new map. Our collected building materials, like cobblestone, was collected fairly with a pickaxe, and a lot of time. Our wooden items were collected through raids in the wilds, and battles against heretics. Our leather, believe it or not, was also found in the wilds. Husky if you are reading this, I dont expect you to believe me, but I swear on my honor I'm telling the truth. We have no knowledge on how duplication works on this server. I will also leave this server. Maybe to return one day, maybe not. In either case, eradicating every item we had collected was uncalled for, and its a shame to see so much time vanish in a blink of an eye.

*Garyion would stand at the edge of the world, the place he had been banished from. He would stare with blank eyes, remembering the faces of those he had killed, and his final battle against the undead. As he turns with his sword in hand he looks at his reflection in his blade for a long moment, and returns to the sea.* "One day perhaps this world may see reason and forgive me, perhaps not..." *Garyion would gather whats left of his pathetic belongings, now left destitute by the skygods, and board a small boat with his brothers and set sail.*

Actually your items weren't deleted, just moved.

Naturally as you can expect the non-legit items will be kept such as the armor. If you had PM'd me or any of the other GMs involved we would've happily sorted you out and returned the items that you had gotten legit.

However, those diamond armor sets among other things were beyond unfair to the players that have worked hard to obtain such materials. "Duping" was the wrong ban term, the correct one was "abusing bugs" and the ban time was relatively short for those who were banned, a short month term that's barely any time at all considering the offence. And like I said before, I'll happily return the items you earned. However that doesn't change the unfair advantage you guys let yourself have over other players and I'll have to keep the bans on the three whom were banned.

Any farther discussion can go to PMs, I'll happily sort everyone out there.

Alright that seems fair. As I have messaged you and explained everything we had, hopefully I can return to this server at some point in the future. I'm grateful this was't permanent, and appreciate you explaining everything to me.
