Hi!

I am here to put out a first impressions and overall review of your mod, I represent my gaming community (Which will remain unknown for privacy reasons) We have a reasonable roster and have been playing your mod quite alot since its release and so far it has had its ups and downs

First Impression -

From the initial impression from myself and my friends the mod had a nice atmosphere of being noobs to the mod so we set out to explore and attempt to make money as we did not have too much money but the SO was generous in giving us Denars in the Banks which was a welcome script and addition to the mod which was sorely lacking in PLoTR (No longer supported by our Community) to start Rome was designed well in the Artistic design (Credit to Darkeh) but was too vulnerable and a lot of abusable glitches so we pressed on as it was also occupied by another faction so we crossed the map to Sparta? pretty well designed nothing too special compared to Rome but it served a practical purpose and the armoury was somewhat lacking in stocks (As well as Rome and other faction bases) As opposed to Carthage (SO's Faction) was fully stocked and built as a true fortress. When we finally settled into a Fort we noticed a severe lack of basic tools needed and the prices were ludicrous. We also noticed admins abusing its players by giving Favour to their friends and somewhat disregarding others, We were lucky to receive support from Freestyle and Alexander and a friend who played in the Roman faction was called "Mentally Disabled" by TA_Birch and threats were made to him along with other issues and he was punished by the Admin "TA_Birch" after his faction mates were mass RDM'd as no punishment was given which gave a bad impression of that guy (Who has not been online with the mod since release)

Over the passing hours/days we noticed bugs such as not being able to loot armour (MOD BREAKING ISSUE) as well as most Serfing was redundant as there were many gold exploits and issues with mining and woodcutting, Luckily an admin was generous and gave us some gold which we found generous and helpful so we brought armour and proceeded to RP as a faction and having fun together

We have had screenshots passed around to us of admins spawning in ridiculous amounts of gold for other players further breaking a broken money system and economy which hit us with that as we eventually felt no need to serf as we could kill players and loot disgusting amounts of Denars. Furthermore a video was recorded of a faction declaring an illegal war and an illegal declaration from outside their base on the mountain pass out of Rome along with screenshots of the SO declaring supporting and engaging in al Illegal war with his friends who later gave an apology to the people who were killed as well as screenshots of Mass RDM from players and killing unarmed players which is atrocious behaviour and is unacceptable (No action was taken on the mass RDM) also the numerous members from the aggressor factions came to the TS (From an admin source) With complaints of their own Faction leaders spawning infinite amounts of gold for their members to fund a war (You cant blame them as the Economy is poorly done) But what we deemed disgusting was that the SO supported all of this and coordinated the aggression and formed an alliance of 30 people maybe to team up on a smaller faction


IN CONCLUSION!

4/10 The mod had amazing potential and was somewhat wasted, Admins were terrible and Currupt except TA_Alexander and TA_Freestyle who did their job properly so Thumbs up for them the map was Beautiful and further cultivated on the Roman atmosphere (EU Map only) MAJOR patches should be implemented immediately which broke the mod and the overall experience proper looting MUST be added soon and credit given to the rightfull owners to the assets taken from many mods.

Servers which are hosted, have nothing to do with the mod itself. You can say 4/10 for the Server, not the mod. Else you'll need to come with arguments which describes the mods positive and negative site.

As well for map site. Your arguments hits map and server, which has nothing to do with the mod.

This sentence:

We were lucky to receive support from Freestyle and Alexander and a friend who played in the Roman faction was called "Mentally Disabled" by TA_Birch and threats were made to him along with other issues and he was punished by the Admin "TA_Birch" after his faction mates were mass RDM'd as no punishment was given which gave a bad impression of that guy (Who has not been online with the mod since release)

Literally makes no sense.

Literally makes no sense.

So official servers which had their files provided by the Mod owner do not reflect the overall mod? so all of the issues i experienced on both servers are the server hosters faults?

It is an official server of course, but does Administrators, recruited by Server Owners, something to do with the mod development and creation? You cannot reflect Administrator failures or bad server management on the mod itself. That's why you sometimes need to split up a review in some parts, like:

Mod opinion and suggestions:

Server management and administrator staff opinion and suggestions:

And not compare Admin failures to a mod. It sounds basically stupid.
