Seeing as I lost all my gear on mediumcore (very annoying), I got sick of that and added items to my new character from my offline storage. Is that so bad? It isn't like I am going to go all out and take any items, ore or anything else from the server? Just building a house and mining to hell - I can do that with starter items if need be.

Build a small stone house, with a bit of help, thanks guys.

Also cheers for the help with armor too evilsod.

Starting to like the game more now. Still even with a silver pickaxe i die from things when they gang up on me 1 small black blob and 2 skeletons were raping me. One of em put a torch out too, grr.

You can't play the new server now because someone gave you armor or helped with armor that's cheating 111!!!

See what i mean Frenchtart, you need to make your rules clearer.. The character must be new and all items must be found on your server no swapping of items from SP. But then how would you enforce that?

This tbh? Mine IS a new character. The thing is, IN NO WAY will I interfere with any other character on the server. I am not there to be an arse, just want a little house and a small mineshaft

Mine is A NEW character too, if i could show you the build date of my character i would. Yes i caused a Goblin Army to appear but it was a bit of fun and i wanted to test out that new device i found. I didn't expect one member to get upset over it, it was a good battle and nobody lost anything none of the buildings destroyed and it lasted 10mins. 10mins of a person's life :rolleyes:

Yes, you can mine to hell with starter gear but there is absolutely no point in it and its not actually playing the game properly which is what the server is for. If all you wanted to do was mess around and make a big vertical hole why not just do it on a SP world?

Np Skeeter, I came across a ton of copper ore and I have no need for it atm

I can understand why a Goblin Army would be annoying for new characters, but what is to stop someone getting the items necessary to start a Goblin Army (easily done by the end of the day)? It would still annoy a newer character anyway. I mean, it happened to me the first time I played on the server - my OcUK friends all came over to protect me. I didn't cry about it and call foul!

B
Neil and Captain, its my understanding its new characters starting from scratch (fresh build with nothing from past games) so everyone is starting with just the basics that ur given when entering the server with a fresh character. Least thats how i read it.

Again though what if a player played through their sp after the server or someone gave them some kit then came back are they no longer allowed?

You should've said " NEW CHARACTER FROM THIS SERVER ONLY "

What if i made a new character from your server, then played all through the early hours on my own SP then came back to yours will you shaft players for that too because i've found good gear?

Can't you just find all the gear on the OcUK server rather than getting it from a SP world?

Surely the randomness is the fun of it..? Building and exploring is the best bit, so as soon as you "level up" you are just making a part of the game pointless. I'm aiming to take it pretty slowly anyway, I think it'll be more fun that way.

Shamikebab · 10 Aug 2011 at 12:28

Same as with all multiplayer games it's always ruined by a couple who want it all immediately.

If you're bringing items over then you might as well just bring your old character over, there's no levelling so the difference is minimal (just health and mana)

Neil if you wanted to test it out why didn't you do it in your OWN world. And it wasn't one person, you annoyed everyone playing at the time.

Playing the game properly!?!?!

a) Who are you to say how I or anyone else SHOULD play

b) The first thing I ever did in my first world was to mine to hell (and with basic items).

c) I am not messing around or causing any harm to anyone else :confused:

d) I think some people need to get a little perspective here tbh.

Very True but also when does a new character stop being a new character on FrenchTart's server!.

Was i wrong to summon that army yes i said i was sorry, but i followed the rules exactly. It's just the new player was not created on frenchtarts i played SP and another person's server too

err wrong only you moaned about it

" YAY Goblin Dropped some rocket boots "

Was one reply, it was only you that was getting very upset but again for that i'm sorry. There was no harm done apart from a few deaths but even then i died because i had the same health and mana as EVERYONE else!

Yes but who's to know I didn't find the item on Frenchtarts server(without telling anyone about sp)?, when does a new player stop being a new player and by what level? are you suddenly banned because you found some good kit.

My thought of what the new 1.0.6 world would be like is:

Everyone starts from scratch, slowly get better together... we go adventuring and hug and kiss etc etc big happy family. I know that's unrealistic because people will want to progress far quicker than other, but it's still a shame.

err wrong, people moaned about it as soon as it started, during and after you'd left....and on here.

Thing is i think is that the rule is you cant bring items from other games into the fresh world of the server, everything has to be sourced from the new one. The character you use must be a dedicated one for this server only, use a diff char for other servers and ur own world if need be i think is the thing here. Plan was (if i understand it right) was start a new char from scratch (means fresh inventory too) on this server which cant be used in offline or other servers. Everyone levels up the same time ish.

I dont cheat, i asked for advice about what to get with some copper and silver bars i had and Evilsod was kind enough to give me some extra to make some armour and a pickaxe. If he wants a favour from me like some wood or whatever and i have it spare i will gladly help him in order to repay the fav. Nothing was outsourced (least i hope not evil lol).

Maybe French could redo the rules so there more clear perhaps which might help in future.

CaptainRAVE · 10 Aug 2011 at 12:34

I just want to do my own thing (in no way harming or griefing others), but while still being on the server and thus being able to chat with my OcUK friends?

Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. No-one is going to cry foul if you come back on the server with a golden pickaxe and copper armour, though I would argue that you should've just played on the server anyway as that was really the whole point in making it a MP server.

No Rave you need to get perspective. The aim of the game is exploration and combat and building a nice house if you want to. That does not mean, as a new character, you should be building a hellevator or a horizontal tunnel the length of the map or a skybridge. You're supposed to be progressing your character. If all you wanted to do was build a hellevator you could do that offline and no one would care.

Until you find a nice piece of jungle armour then you're no longer allowed on the server

Really? In a few hours play you'd found a mask that has a 1.x chance of dropping from corrupted bunnies? Not to mention all your other gear.

Especially as I had been on the server since soon after it launched and you had barely been on.

*clap* *clap*

And yet that is exactly what I did on my first play through before I ever got any good items? So who are you to say that I shouldn't do any of those things (I actually haven't done many of those on the server anyway).

The game is an open world (i.e. play it however you want to), I don't have to play it YOUR way just because you say so :confused:

Easily achievable in a day if you have the time to put in.

I was using it as a point of reference :rolleyes:

WHAT IF

I don't just play on frenchtarts server there are plenty of other servers even on the Ter forums and there is my own SP. It was still a NEW character fresh from the 1.06build which followed Frenchtart's rule. NEW CHARACTERS ONLY!

Why can't people get at simple rule
