Uhm...seriously?
Bandits are KOS?
Bandits may KOS?
You just created a place for all the randomers on the RCC servers! Thank you man, now we wont have to deal with them anymore!

 

[Lord Willy]

At least they are all in one faction  . But  personally I like the idea  .

 

[andonai]

Outlaws are outlaws, and in our world, they are mean, dirty and use cheap tricks.

They don´t ask nicely, if you could be so kind and give them all your gold? No Sir, they simply take it, if they are able to do it!

If the lord of a realm can´t protect his precious commoners, he has no right to rule them. Either he is sending out patrols to protect the workers and traders or he is trying  to forge an alliance with the outlaws and let them soften up another kingdom before he declares war. 

That is at least our vision, if it´s mere fiction or could become real, time will show. Rules can be adjusted.

But any chance to bring some roleplaying back is, at least in my humble opinion, a "risk worthy" enterprise.

 

[Eragon91]

Realistic rules, but i believe suicidal for the players. The Outlaw KoS rule have been tried many times.

However, if the "deathmatchers" go to your server, we might be able to let the Roleplayers stay in RCC.

I wish you good luck.

 

[Suspicous Pilgrim]

Its impossible to eliminate a faction of players.

 

[andonai]

Its impossible to eliminate a faction of players.

Yes and no! Sure, you can´t annihilate a  faction by simply killing all members, right! But you can capture all their keeps,  or generally spoken, "maneuver" them into a position that forces the members to leave their faction, because it makes no sense (in terms of gameplay) to stay and fight on (no money, no ressources left).

 

[Sanado_]

I think the KOS will be handable because they will be an admin team with people in it who will ask the W-questions before they kick someone ( not like on the RCC Server) . Although the sF-Clan is still playing on the server, they will have an eye on everyone and everything.
If someone is still randoming, the admins will see it and ask him. If he isnt answering they will kick him and if he come back randoming, he will get listed and banned.

Great idea, great server (.. better then RCC, really).

 

[DrDeath518]

Funny too see RCC groupies bashing another server! dejavu! GOOD LUCK SF!

You need only the PW Mod (click) and than you should can join the sF_PW_Mod Server.
If you already have this mod and the game shows you the same failure, it might be your internet connection.

 

[Ser Orindell]

You need to put in place other, vital rules. In other words, New Life Rule and Randoming rules.

Thanks for the advice! I think our ruleset defines randoming and "new life", even if our definitions don´t match with those from other server.
But currently we are only testing if our ruleset works, if not, we will adjust it.

 

[Lord Willy]

I've heard you are working on a new map/s ?  cant wait  to play on it

 

[Saboteur100]

If I recall, half the sF clan was banned on the RCC server for severe randoming.

I think that may give some insight as to the quality of the server...

True, some players from our clan were banned, and they were unbanned like many, many and i mean many other players on the RCC server.
Yeah and our clan were the reason for a server reset, cause we conquered the whole map in a half day and after this, our king were banned for one hour, in order to prevent us from doing it again.

And by the way, whats the damn problem with having a second 200 slot server running this great mod with other rules?
Instead to be glad to have the choice between two different rulesets, and in the near future with own server maps, every second post is like yours...

We never said, that our server is better, our admins are better or our rules are better, or we provide the better roleplaying experience. We simply announced that we offer a new server with other rules, so please "RCC fan boy", stay on RCC and ignore this thread, and don´t talk about something you don´t know.

 

[Splintert]

But we DO know, we were an upstart server like yourself at one time.

I do not want Karl to be bashing other servers; and it's also going to be known that he is not in RCC.

I don´t know what you mean with "But we DO know", but if you mean, that you do know what is possible and we will run into trouble with our ruleset...
... I believe, that you do know what didn´t worked in the past.

Anyway, it´s nice to hear that Karl wasn´t hired by you to bash our server. And I am sure you do know, that the problem with youngsters is, they have to find out for themself and ignore even the best advice.
