I’ve been playing on an official server since EA so I’ve spent I couldn’t even tell you how many hours on this game then one day a troll comes to my server and you answer is to drop all my work that I’ve done and move to a person private server? I’m not interested in playing solo or making my own private server … your answer to the problem is not the correct solution … it like your saying hey throw a bandaid on that cut when you really need stitches … this is a funcom game on official servers they need to take responsibility on what’s going on with these trolls
@Grymm I do not deny the costs…
I would happily contribute…
Should people have to resort to private servers due to lack of anti troll/griefer policy… who benefits from this?
I’m happy playing solo, but without cheesing there’s no way I can kill a boss… and when I played pve, I couldn’t talk to people, so it may as well have been solo…
This game and let’s remember it’s just a game, not our life savings… it could be awesome, but at the moment it’s ok… makes me sad…
I agree TeatedCorpse, and the reason I suggest private is because there is usually no cost at all to play and only the Admin(s) bear the costs.
But, to expect any company, FunCom or not, to be able to actively admin and monitor every server (there are several hundreds around the world) to go after raiding or bullying is impractical and nonsensical: it is a survival game at the core and that includes raiding.
Unfortunately there are thousands of kids who enjoy projecting violence online and forming feral gangs to act out stuff. As insane as it sounds, there are international ‘game wars’ going on between countries where taking over a server by organised gamers is a thing.
This whole subject has been discussed ad nauseam and will carry on forever.
I simply work on the basis of vote with your feet. If I do not like solo I switch to online. If not PvP then PvE or private. If mods then find modded servers I like and join. If I dislike caviar, why would I keep eating it?
I love caviar… 
I know they can not police the amount of servers they have…
Do we need so many servers though? Supermarkets don’t keep all registers open at all times…
I did suggest in a previous post, user moderated official servers…
The biggest issue however is grieving by bug exploitation… that’s where most of the complaints are…
That should be priority 1 to be fixed…
Unfortunately, we have too many complaints that aren’t bugs, but people not understanding game mechanics…
In all my years involved with game development, I have not seen a game as ambitious as this… of course teething problems will happen…
Yep. Well, at least a huge segment of the griefers and their ilk have moved on to the arc dlc Atlas and FunCom are able to, within contractual boundaries, shut down servers.
I still maintain I have not seen a better world game (for me). On my server I have not seen many of the bugs people talk about. I use PC and that’s more stable than the rest. There are some glitches occasionally, but these are often memory (mine) and connection (mine) based.
When I occasionally watch streams of other games and see the unrealistic combat and movement, the endless patches and complete bugs, the low resolution (and do not get me started on the complete rubbish fighting which reminds me of original Sid Meier’s Pirates//the clipping) the overall complexity and the awesome builds, I just go back to CE and keep playing.
I have only a couple of thousand hours CE gameplay under my belt, but plan many more.
Dude, do no knock pirates… it was Rock Paper Scissors to perfection… I miss that game… (c64) the remakes were crap…
But you are right, CE combines aspects from all games I love… only thing missing is trading…
Building, fighting, gathering…
We’re come a long way from my first video game… (pong)
Yep indeed - am busy trying to work out a ‘pricing’ structure on CE…Trading is a ‘Thing’! lol @Tascha
Lol… I hope… my last few months in WOW were spent in the auction house… made more in those months than in the years actually playing…

rofl TeatedCorpse - Yeah, I am trying, via PIPPI and PIPPI-Mushi to set up shopkeepers and traders and have to keep stopping before my brain falls out my ears… And since Conan’s usual response to gold/silver was to chop a head off and rob the corpse. I get the impression that Conan Exiles attitude to the value of gold or silver in the world of Trade is, ‘do I chop of their leg or head’…
