So nide responded while I was writing this, and to be honest, I like his response more than mine, but too late, I've written this.
Hmmm, alright then, where to start.
First, I’m awaiting a response from someone saying "Oh here come all the staff out to defend the server", well yes, we will since so many false and/or "alternative facts" are being shown already in this thread. So let me present an admins view, in my normal manner.
"...but what about:
-MarcelGS
-thelegendjet (Jet)
-chellius (chev)
???"
Uhh, they were all banned for duping items and ruining the economy completely... oh wait there’s more:
"they made the Server to what it used to be. Their offence they did recently was the actual response to what the server became the last months or even years."
They made the server into what it used to be? As far as I can tell you joined 2016 correct? Well, how it used to be, back in 2014 I believe, there was dupers, people banned for duping, so yes, your statement is correct, they made the server back into what it was, a duped ruined economy.
Their response? That makes it sound Asif they were entitled to make that response as a statement... towards the server? They're making a stance against the server for being... in not such a good place? And their response is... to dupe and mess things up even more? Oh, right, sorry, I see their plan and point perfectly, yes. To make their own money, to spend money on special offers and dupe the rewards to give themselves more power and wealth so that they can control the server even more, yes, perfectly justified reason.
"Players need to realise that the Server isn't running 100% legal with all his pay-to-win functions and other updates."
Pay to win functions, well that isn’t exactly what’s happening. For a while there have been certain offers that are against the EULA. We have been trying to fix this as of recent with more cosmetic offers. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been met with best responses. Apparently, people actually like to buy things which do something in the game (funny that), and I’ve actually had complaints from people saying "the special offers are shit and all cosmetic". It’s a never-ending battle, with people complaining the offers are too pay-to-win, or they are "shit". You see the issue here, unfortunately we are not market analysers with years experience who are able to magic up some way to keep money coming in, we have to do what we can, which apparently never makes everybody happy.
"Think about the Aether II update in August 2013. The Server owner was not permitted to release the extended world border based on Aether II according to the official Aether II Team."
Uh, what? Aether II update in 2013, we didn’t use anything from aether II as far as I can remember... the world border was based on a new generator, with the same blocks and items. Maybe the orange tree was added but all our own code, I have no idea what you're talking about here.
"I was told they had some serious discussions with craftland at all."
The Shadow Skylands? We had a naming issue with it originally being called "Shadow Aether", but that was resolved quickly after speaking with the devs(I did not speak to them, that was done by others). And we have written permission to use aether II things in the shadow skylands.
"Also the hats you're willing to spend money on it, was not officially authorised through the Mod Author (at least those hats he stole from the mod)."
The hats mod is licenced as (LGPLv3), according to the curse website, meaning we can modify, distribute, use for commercial, etc. the mod... so as far as I can tell, there isn’t an issue here. You can read about this licence here "
https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-lesse ... 3-(lgpl-3)".
"So I might understand MarcelGS' and the other's reactions to the upcoming death of the Server."
You seem optimistic, and your very, and with a slight mix of sodium, view on the server is really helping it. As far as I can tell, you only want to rant, and have no actual intension of wanting to see the server succeed, or even play on it, so from your other point:
"If this post gets deleted you'll know what that means towards the Server

"
As much as I'd love to, I'd rather explain a few miscommunications.
"I'm just sad that they spent that much money, time and blood into this Server just to see how fast it goes downwards. Also realise since their ban the special offers and other pay-to-win things soared up."
They. Duplicated. Items. For. Their. Own. Profit. If there was another way of explaining this, I would... actually...

Or maybe even...

There we go.
And since their ban new special offers have had to be made, since you know, they bought a lot of the special offers and duplicated the items more.
"The last thing I would like to talk about is that the owner’s presence the last months (at least until February) was pathetic insufficient."
Unfortunately, we are not perfect humanoid robots who don’t have personal lives, it’s a real shame isn’t it. We all have issues we have to deal with, I’m a young carer, I take care of someone very close to me, but I still try to help with the server as much as I can, and that’s on top of school work. And trust me, its always a pleasure to read your beautiful posts claiming:
*how I don’t do enough work - When I have more important things to do rather than tend to your every need.
*how I need to do more - When I have enough to do.
* "WHERE IS DEEPVALE, LOL I MEAN DEEPTHROAT, its gonna be shit anyway", to something we've worked on for months.
I can deal with these comments luckily, but its still nice to see them.
"So if I had money on my side I would never, I say never spend money on this corrupted server. Think about it. This Server won't live forever, leave the ship now (better soon than late)."
And that’s my que to leave the ship that is your post as well, seeing the above response.
See ya! Have fun!
