[Rule Reminder] Mob/Auto Farming

Mob Farming

---

Hello all. So, for a long while now, we have not had any major issues concerning mob farming, automatic farms, or any other means of grinding resources until recently. The GM Team has come across two grinding farms, one of which was for cacti, the other for mob grinding, as seen here:

 

Cactus Green Drug Bust

Undead Torture Chamber

Considering how long it has been since anyone was punished for using grinding farms, the GM Management have sat down and decided that the best way to drive home this rule is to bring forward this reminder:

 

Quote

Monster spawners/farms/grinders of any kind are disallowed in the entirety. To be found having or using one will result in the removal of said monster spawner/farm/grinder and punishment given to those involved.

 

It has been in the rules for a long time, but as we discussed, it has been a long time since someone was punished for using them. The reason why it is such a big deal is because of the new establishment of the Admin Shops and the wellbeing of the LotC economy.

Going forth now, if people are found to be creating or using grinding farms that are vastly blown out of proportion, they will be dismantled and resources confiscated. The latter of which means that any crops, gear, weapons, minas, etc. will be wiped from all of your personas. Yes, all minas will be wiped if you are found to be creating or using farms.

 

That being said, if you are currently using a grinding farm, you are encouraged to come forward to a GM and report it as we will simply dismantle it and no repercussions will take place.

 

Read the rules and be aware! Have a good day.

-GM Team

That could be a definite possibility, I've been hearing disembodied zombie noises from Courland for ages.

This will hit the hobbits halflings hard. How will they ever recover?

what about underground farms (non auto mind you)

What kind of Punishment exactly? You've left it quite open ended. From anything from a slap on the wrist to a perma ban. A more concise punishment should be made clear.

This fully depends on the severity and situational circumstance. If a player does it they may receive a 2 week ban, though if they intentionally lie about it it may be longer. It may also depend on size, whether the player has been punished for similar things in the past and so on.

That is at least more concise than saying

And should perhaps be used instead.

@Xarkly Hey one of these grinders look like the place I died at when I was killed by a mob, funny.

I do understand why mob farming is disallowed, however, I still do not understand why the automatic farming of plants (Wheat, beetroot, etc. ) Or animals is disallowed. 

(and wood, cobble, ice, (are sorting systems disallowed?))

Sorting systems cause lag. On any server, hoppers cause lag.

Except this one apparently

I WONDER IF YOU REALISED THAT YOU CAN SELL EACH CACTUS FOR 0.2 MINAS AT CT, TAHMAS, IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A DRUG FARM INSTEAD OF A MINA FARM, YOU'RE COMPLETELY MISTAKEN (:

 

Also, whoever got caught, bro, ur dumb, hide your stuff better like I do, lol

This is because Courland is ontop of the old dreadlands, this discovery goes to Morgan the mine for finding this.

[JustMeMorgan 2066]

Don't outline me for this stuff

Wasn't my idea to make a 5 layer farm
I was basically ordered to make the layers m9

And I dig into walls to find mobs, I light up the rooms and then carry on

I can show you all the spots I've Lit up lmao, Courland is slowly becoming quieter, the main issue is inside houses.

On that topic

 

Anyone in Courland who has their house unlit, please make it lighter, mobs spawn and remove the immersion when you hear "Ughhhh" every 2 minutes while on the road
