I’ve been rather inactive and technically have been gone for quite some time. I just wanted to post the following to tell everyone my experience on the server. I will be brief and try not to take everything seriously.

I joined this server a year ago after another server ended, and lot of my friends went to this server. I set up a base and was having fun, but then I discovered a lot of people on this server are extremely hostile. Once I was sieged for three days in a row simply because I wanted to be with my friends in the Elven Empire (I’m sure many still hate it to this day, for what reason I know not). Ruthless killers hampered my advancement on the server and I discovered that a lot of people enjoy making others miserable. My intentions were completely innocent and there was no reason for anyone to harm me. This is not a complaint, I know that killing ruthlessly is the whole point of the server, but still the hostility began to affect me at a deeper level. All I wanted to do was build things with my friends, and all these people wanted to do was tear the things we built down. It was a pity that people had so much hatred for people they didn’t even know. It was a great lesson on human nature. I think all deckhands should be warned of the extreme brutality of some of the players, so they aren’t caught off-guard.

Nevertheless, I did advance as a player, and began more and more difficult projects. In fact, I started playing on the server so much that it almost became my life. I started to build a new base, Deep Ocean One, which would have redstone technology and keep me safe from sieges and killers. Still, I was killed, perhaps more. I then realized I would never get to the level of any of my assailants. No matter how hard I worked, I could never get 20 god sets or enough PvP practice to simply defend myself. The whole system of the server was slighted towards them and against newer players like me.

Some weeks I would acquire large portions of wealth and some days I would be in poverty. The status of my Minecraft character affected how I felt in real life. Pirate MC was like real life for me now, and my real life a distraction from the server. The stress of keeping up a base and helping my crew affected me all the time, even when I wasn’t online.

However, there were many exciting and fun projects I did on the server in the hours a day I spent. Hours of kindness and friendship. I built some impressive structures with my friends. We went on raids. I earned money and gave valuables to others. All sorts of adventures. Many players were generous to me. Something must be said for all the nice people who encouraged me. I had some beautiful experiences on the server.

Eventually, the Elven Empire collapsed and I started the Ocean Republic. I wanted to try being a leader, and indeed I got some leadership experience. And I really tried to get together a strong military so we could simply defend ourselves from attacks. But then I discovered the most disgusting, cruel, and vicious aspect of the server: betrayal. Betrayal as in grieving my entire base, which I had spent months of my life working on, and stealing everything I had. What really shocked me is how the staff don’t regenerate griefed bases (“Too bad, its your own fault”). I mean, pain and joy and months of time went into a creative and wonderful thing, which was destroyed in a vile and cheating way, and yet it will not be regenerated. Hydra, which specializes at backstabbing, is a horrific organization which spends it’s time making people feel miserable for no reason whatsoever. Hydra and related crews should be dissolved and the members banned. Period. I have seen many players quit and/or become extremely depressed because of them. Somehow they manage to get away with harassment left and right. Friends I had known for months suddenly backstabbed me for Hydra. It was actually extremely painful.

In conclusion, I spent a lot of time on this server, and I have mixed feelings. It taught me lessons about life (such as watch out for backstabbers). I met some great people and did some fun things. But I also suffered a lot of stress. It was good in some ways that I decided to leave and spend my time in real life, which is WAY more important What really matters is that I gave a lot of my life to the Pirate MC, and, to those who spend a lot of time on the server, please make sure you have a life. Don’t take time to play when you could be helping yourself or someone else.

Finally, thank you to those who were kind to me. I gave my remaining possessions to some of these people. If you are one who helped me post on the forums and ask for a piece of my balance. You deserve it.

Farewell! I hope we will meet again.

i have a couple of things to say about this post-

1. this server isnt hating on new players like you, in fact, we were all there where you were. I was sieged by gottalovepunks of all people when i first joined (if u know her u’ll understand) and i got over it. also, a bunch of people called Horsia came over from another server to fight people on here and they overcame the attacks to have a standing on here.

2. the insiding sucks when it happens to you, but thats why people must be VERY selective when they give out permissions at bases. saying people like Hydra should be banned is a bit much, since it’s you who gave out the trust to the person who blew up your base.

3. yea staff regen stuff all the time if you ask them to (nicely ofc) Kauhy and cosmickingjoel are two i can think of off of the top of my head (both of their bases were exploded)

so hope to see you again on the server, and be a little more careful next time 😉

1. Perhaps I should’ve made clearer that the person who griefed my base had /trust. I contacted an Admin about this and they explicitly told me it was my own fault and they wouldn’t regen it. Another time I asked to have a base fixed after someone turned it into a sub (there is a forum post about this) and it wasn’t.

2. Some may dispute my argument that the server is not fair to new players, and sure, this isn’t true for everyone. However, my friends and I worked for hours a day trying to earn money and get diamonds to earn god sets. But the combination of groups like the Melon Empire shaming us, the fact that someone was sent to kill us every day, the fact that all means for us to earn money yielded very little money, and the fact that almost all the resources were in the hands of very few players, made things very difficult.

3. I’m sorry I pissed off some people with this post. I was not lying about anything that happened on the server, good or bad. Nor did I have any conclusive opinion on the server (i.e. this server is good, bad etc.). The post was not meant to whine or to rant, simply to recount my experiences.

In summary, please understand I was not complaining, whining, lying, ranting, casting blame, or anything of the sort.

Nah I see where your coming from anandak, and I know what it’s like as (old) vault had been blown up by some of my friends, only that I was slightly lucky that they decided to take my stuff out of my chests before hand and practically trolled me.

But like I did afterwards, and many others have, we just move on, its hard I know, but its best to move on.

If I were you if you were to re-join the server, set up a siege proof unground vault, build back up your supplies, join a decent crew with good serverwide relations and try again. g’luck.

—————————————————————————————————————–

To clear up the base regens:

As a rule of thumb, we won’t regen bases.

Reason being:
- People have tried to exploit this in the past ‘my base was destroyed pls regen’, but in actual fact the player themselves broke it in an attempt to duplicate items
- Most of the things that players want regened can be fixed relatively easily. I know if you’re new, and the only little house you do own was blown up, its quite a heavy hit, but in the grand scheme of things, its nothing really. If something can be easily fixed, don’t ask for a regen. Its part of the game to repair stuff that’s broken.
- ‘I trust someone to my base and they blew it up’. Well, its your own fault. You will hear staff repeat this over and over, but it’s true. Use /trustlist to see who is trusted in a claim
- ‘They were my best friend and I didn’t know they would betray me’. Once again, its your own fault sadly. Logging on and finding out one of your close friends not only stole your stuff, but went ahead and broke some stuff is not a nice thing to come back to. If the lust for revenge ever crosses your path, I’m sure there are plenty of people you can hire to attempt to get your stuff back if you don’t want to get your hands dirty.
- ‘All of my event items and really rare stuff is gone’. Oh we get this one a lot. Items will not be replaced – so no regen for you sir. Reason being; we don’t want to, or at least want to strongly avoid duplicating items. This is easily abused (see top point)
- Just because some blocks are broken, does not mean its griefing. Griefing is blowing up an entire town/area, not just breaking the occasional blocks on houses. (For the random block breaking – just because its legal doesn’t mean you should do it. Its annoying grrr :P)
Exceptions:

We may consider rolling-back (restoring it to a non-damaged condition) a base under the following conditionsL

Take all of this with a pinch of salt
- Unnecessary griefing is against the rules (see points above). If we have proof that a large base has been heavily destroyed by means of griefing, we may consider rolling it back. Any form of vault or loot area contained within the regened area will be confiscated by staff and destroyed as to avoid duplication
- If we find there is no evidence of manipulation or exploitation on the base in question – such as attempting to fake your own base destruction
- The claim was somehow removed/manipulated by means of a plugin glitch
- Once restored, the base is not in danger of being damaged again (its highly unlikely that we will restore ruins that are years old)
- The structure contains little to no loot. If a vault is restored, we will confiscate all valuables from it leaving only the building itself.
Lastly, use commonsense. Don’t go asking to regen claims that you do not own. Make sure you know when the base was destroyed so we can get a rough date from which to restore the base. And lastly, don’t go whining about it when staff refuse.

—————————————————————————————————————–

As Godsy said, we have recently regened a base – but the conditions were all met. It was a case of unnecessary griefing, and although you could argue that the people involved had /trust, it was quite a sizable area that was damaged with the intention of causing as much damage as possible, rather than just looting.

Concerning your case, I feel you man, but that’s just the way it is. Stuff gets stolen, builds are damaged, and friendships are broken. But all things considered, this is a rare occurrence. Afterall you are playing alongside pirates, warriors, an raiders specialized in working effectively to get what they want. Everyone gets raided, everyone dies, people insult and get butthurt. Its just what happens. Without trying to sympathize too much; small crews get raided by big crews, but that doesn’t make big crews/players immune to backstabbing, treachery, and all that jazz. Yet alongside those pirates and whatnot, you get those nice and friendly people who help and support you.

I don’t want to dwindle on any more stuff, but I hope to see you sometime again 🙂

This type of forum post, the whole “I’m leaving because of this reason” is one giant butthurt post that we have already warned about posting on the forums.

"Leaving" Threads

If you trust someone that has intentions to blow your base up, it is your own fault, they are in every respect been TRUSTED to do whatever they please, its literally called TRUST.

Its not called re-gen that’s turning the land back to before your laid your grubby fingers on it, Its called a rollback and I have specifically NEVER allowed any rollbacks for this exact reason, People like you demanding that your base be rolled back. Its the entire reason I Never, ever did this before, on some occasions if I like the person I will restore a base for good will, but in your case, making this post, this is the entire reason that I do not do this when asked.

This is a survival server, you trust people, you chose that specific place into trust, you did not sub-claim, you did not create a separate dwelling to share, you did not use access to just buttons, you gave full trust to the entire place you wanted to protect and then when betrayed you blame staff for not rolling back, when we don’t even do rollbacks.

Closed.
