West Nile
Recruit
Title says it itself.
re installed this mod after a year from my first attempt at playing it, I should have expected that things had gotten worse.
I join some nexus server, it being the only server that actually has people playing, and i immediately have my chat bombarded with people spouting "Randoming" "NLR".
I see a huge purple message across my screen "admin X has permabanned player X for randoming and insulting an admin".
I decide to join a faction called town watch, and I get killed and kicked out by the faction members, I realize they are the server admins, and I have to apply on the forums to be in said faction.
During my time exploring, I get disgusted at what i am reading in chat, faction leaders have to announce 3 times that they are going to war, they need a reason, more people crying about rdm and nlr.
After spending some time exploring I find a outlaw camp and decide to join the outlaws and decide to go kill someone and take their stuff. I mange to kill a helpless farmer, but before I know it an admin comes to me freezes me with something and tells me that if i log out that ill be permabanned, after 5 minutes of asking whats going on (apparently looking through combat log) asking why I "rdmed" the farmer, I tell him I am an outlaw. I am told its not a good enough reason and that i have to announce that i am going to rob/attack my foe. I am then told to go to a website and read some rules and then banned for god knows how long.
Why do the servers that run this mod, cater to much to roleplaying? I can tell this mod was made for faction based pvp, but all this roleplaying and "announce your going to attack someone" crap is really pathetic. Couple that with servers that seem to give admin to children who's weak constitutions are damaged when being called a moron and deem that a game ruining offence. It appears that so many people spend time farming gold, and riding around in their expensive armor, and only go to war with a faction that has a fraction of the members as them.
So i come back to my original question, When is there going to be a good persistent world server hosted, one that actually runs this mod correctly the way it was supposed to be.
Also here are some responses to reply's I'm sure ill see -
"Not all servers are like the one you described"
There are only about 2 servers, hosted by the same community, and about 1 other server that is hosted in some remote Russian town.
"If you don't like the mod then don't play it"
The mod is good but its these terrible kiddies who are scared of losing their pixel items that these servers cater to to keep them playing that make the mod bad.
"There are rules to stop rdmer's and people breaking nlr, without them no one would play"
Then this mod is terribly flawed and someone if not the creator of this mod should implicate some kind of boundaries in the mod itself to help stop griefers etc. The mod has to have rules in itself so the servers don't make them up themselves, ending up in a well and balanced game experience, possibly resulting in a bigger player base.
