Uh night is the loving best. If your server doesn't have night at equal lengths as days then lol just lol

OK, but am I understanding the direction of movement of the settings for each effect? Which makes each longer? Larger or smaller numbers?

We had a good local server, but they mysteriously shut down after the last patch, which kind of sucks, because even if we move servers there's no guarantee that they won't just vanish again.

After starting characters on half a dozen servers and seldom able to find one two days in a row that's when I decided to start my own.

You could join us on 178 official, which is the best server. Where the night is twice as long as the day.

If you aren't up for an official server join us here:


GSF [PVP] Public Miami - Mittani's Wasteland
85.190.159.123:32000


We have about 15 active players, mainly SA and Penny Arcade people. A few pubbies have wandered in, refugees from the server roulette going on out there. No 'server nazi' rules or anything but the vanilla settings. Three of four active clans and the rest are loners. No clutter or litter or lag. It is North American based though.

Was looking to do this but the server browser shows essentially nothing. Then I noticed the "show invalid servers" checkbox and stuff pops up that I can't join. I guess my game is updated past the servers at this point?
If and when I do get in what's the best way to meet up with you folks?

It just started two days ago. I think 15 regular players is pretty good for a 2-3 days old server.

It had a 50 player cap if that's what you mean...

Well unfortunately server 178 is always full and my ping is at best 90 and usually around 120 so I'll check out the Miami Goon Crew. I used to live in the 305 so I should be able to mix well with them. :D

gathering is supposed to be glacial so that scrubs can't just come and bonk a rock and then you're dealing with a loving rear end in a top hat of a fortress. How else are you going to raid but when they are in the middle of gathering supplies to build? Thats when you deep dick someone

EU - Riddle of Steel - PvP, changed the daily reboot from 6pm (GMT+1) to 3pm.

I'm really not sure what the ideal time for the daily reboot is. If it's too early then all your wheels of pain will stop until you get home and start them again, thereby wasting lots of hours. And having a reboot at 6pm, is also less than ideal on weekends since it disrupts your gaming sessions.

Got a pretty hot base set up today, but thanks to the clan ownership glitch we can't place any further things into our base until the server resets, which will happen... sometime? loving Asian offical servers can't come fast enough.

The GSF server "Mittani's Wasteland" is vanilla. We don't want 1000s of abandoned bases and scrubs. Work for your base damnit. We are three days old, and we already have had 6 pubbie refugees join from other servers with like 5x that are just ridiculous. It should be a wasteland where you have to scratch and hoard to survive, not an iron city every 20 feet.

so

if your low-pop server is vanilla everything

why would anyone join it over an official?

PARTY ALL NIGHT

Myself and two of my friends started on an unofficial server with basically no ping.
It's only around 20 people but we all started building around each other and made a nice little community.

Our main base it up on this hidden plateau where we made a massive plaza and surrounded it with personal houses and kiosks.

The lower level is a maze that only we know how to get through quickly. Lots of dead ends and closets full of thrall fighters.

:jerry:

Because A) it really isn't that low pop, he joined it at a moment only 3 or 4 people happened to be on. B) Having an admin who can do a 5 minute rollback or reassign in the game.db file if you accidently leave your clan and cant reclaim your base, or have a character-ending glitch some other way, is nice. C) Less lag and pubbies (though some pubbies) who spam huts every 10 feet. D) Sever gives you a heads up before patch so you don't die to an imp horde.

Lmfao this game is going full-steam-retard ahead with region locking. Everyone on earth only ever plays online games with people in their own country. Yep.

"Twenties and under" is low-pop for survival games. I'll grant you B through D, but those can be done better on a non-vanilla server. D doesn't even exist on 'no-sleeper' servers!

Frankly, your server combines all the drawbacks of officials (poo poo settings, poo poo support) and unofficials (poo poo pop) into one poo poo package.
