Im planning to install CE again, try to have some fun… (if possible)
My only concern is what unmodded server should i play?
Official PvP servers are flooded and ABUSED by cheaters - low populater servers grow, then cheaters strike until only few people left then they will get on another populated server again - that’s vicious circle…
Private / unofficial PvP servers are ABUSED by owners - I have played many private servers and all of them was ABUSED by admins / owners, it may not look like that at first glance but in my experience it always ended like this.
PvE and PvE-C is something I don’t even consider as this is just boring, PvE brings no challenge to the table, this engine is not well made for great challenging PvE content.
It is vanilla. It is one of the largest and most reputable PvP servers in EU. As you can see from the discord link, the community has more than 1500+ members. When the population goes under certain amount of people during raid time, the server gets wiped, hence the boosted rates.
If you are looking for a server to be the alpha on, then this is not the server for you. But if you are looking for action and good pvp, definitely check it out.
p.S The next wipe is on 30Jul2021. Join discord for more details.
This is not VANILLA at all, there’s too many too drastic rules.
Not to mention you can BUY ITEMS for your own advantage:
• €10 / ₽922 contribution: unlimited dyes, 300 Star Metal Bars and 4 T4-thralls.
• €20 / ₽1844 contribution: unlimited dyes, 25 Fragments of Power or 600 Start Metal Bars and 8 T4-thralls.
• €30 / ₽2766 contribution: unlimited dyes, 50 Fragments of Power or 1200 Star Metal Bars and 12 T4-thralls.
That makes me belive server is shady and i bet there’s admin abuse.
So there’s no servers worth time? Official servers killed by cheaters, private by abuse and selling advantage for cash.
You can believe whatever you want. I have been following this server for a very long time and feel confident recommending it. It is one of the best private PvP servers there is and there are plenty of people who can vouch for it. Furthermore, those private servers cost money, the owner pays close to 200 EUR per month so that people like you can enjoy top performance and fair gameplay for free. Considering that the rates are boosted (x4) and getting thralls takes 0 effort in EL especially in a group of 6, the donations are hardly offering any advantage. Having said that, I believe that with this kind of attitude there are indeed no suitable PvP servers for you.
What attitude you are talking about? I have right to want to play on VANILLA server, but most importantly FAIR play with no CASH to advantage features.
If someone want’s to get some money to power up servers, it’s always makes sense to open up donates or sell some ranks and stuff on discord, it’s never good to open wallet to advantage features.
My attitude is not aggresive or anything, just saying i don’t accept that kind of server to play on, but You… “Having said that, I believe that with this kind of attitude there are indeed no suitable PvP servers for you.” - That’s very unappropriate attitude.
I just know what is available and I am being realistic, nothing in this life comes for free but you are welcome to open your own server and manage it the way you feel it is most appropriate. Just don’t go and scream admin abuse and point fingers when you have not even given it a try. I wish you best of luck and hope you find what you are looking for.
Didn’t I paid for multiplayer game already and should be able to play it?
If I have to pay monthly for server im up to it but it would have to be vanilla, good one without admin abuse and of course no pay2win features or like some people call it ‘pay2convenience’.
You’re posting on a public forum. Anyone is free to reply to anyone.
Sure, because there can’t possibly exist more than one person who thinks you’re wrong about anything ever. Therefore @Narelle and I are obviously the same person
Yes, you paid for the game. The game you paid for allows you to play multiplayer, by connecting to a server, hosting your own server, joining someone’s co-op game, or hosting your own. Those are the features you paid for. The game does not come with any guarantee that someone else will host a server for you to connect.
Therefore the answer to your question about whether you should be able to play it is: yes, you should be able to play it, why do you think you aren’t?
I’m trying to understand yours.
At first you were asking about an unmodded private server without admin abuse.
When you were given a recommendation for one, you said it wasn’t vanilla because of the rules and complained about rewards for donors. You went on to allege that there must be admin abuse on that server because of that, and then proceeded to claim that there are no servers “worth your time”.
Then @Narelle explained that the advantages offered by those rewards are negligible, and that unfounded accusations like that are not a very good attitude for someone who’s looking to play on a someone else’s server for free.
To which you replied that you already paid for the game and therefore should be able to play it.
Which brings us to the point where I stepped in to ask for clarification: why do you imply you’re unable to play multiplayer?
I hope I managed to clarify what I was asking you.
You’re posting on a public forum. Anyone is free to reply to anyone.
Of course… But it seems weird that you are responding to that, cherrypicking some random sentences, read my whole post and pick whole context or stop bothering me with your personal attacks it seems.

Again cherrypicking.

I don’t have problem.
I’m just looking for VANILLA server, with VANILLA experience, without admin abuse or some weird P2W shop, that’s it. You don’t have to drill and dig why i don’t want accept different server, why my chances are low to find it and so on… That’s my decision based on that im not going to accept P2W shop in PvP server - that feels unethical and not fair for me.
Which brings us to the point where I stepped in to ask for clarification: why do you imply you’re unable to play multiplayer?
There’s no viable VANILLA server to play on besides OFFICIAL servers which are flooded by cheaters and some private servers that have rules or shops that i won’t accept - I am bad guy because of my decision?
Without trying to draw ire…I believe the issue is a simple wording one. What you are asking for specifically is 1) Something you rarely see on privates or 2) A belief that all official servers are full of cheaters. Point one is true enough, very few private servers exist that cater to your exact desires. Point two I cannot comment on as I do not play on official servers myself.
What I can say is that your wording comes off as very demanding, almost as if you expect a server to exist just the way you want it. I’m not saying that’s your intention, simply that it sounds that way (yes I’m magic and can hear typed words ). I don’t believe that is your intention but that may be how others are interpreting it.
That’s problem with some folks on forum, some people delusionally think they can read people’s mind and they deeply know someone’s intentions.
Im just pointing out that I don’t like to play on server with heavy ruleset and cash shop - wish to have vanilla experience as intended by developers.
The other thing is that im really not happy with official servers state right now as there’s no point of playing it due to cheaters.
Demanding? I apologize if it looks like that but no, im not demanding anything, i just have my own thoughts and im really dissapointed that Funcom doesn’t try to solve problems with official servers. That’s why i may end up not coming back to game for now.
I don’t want to get personal but it seems you are very good at English but it might not be your first language. You place imperatives in locations that many Westerners find quite direct. I don’t mind it, and I think you have the right to speak the way you want. You PvP, and it comes through in your dialogue.
Right now on our Official Server we are experiencing a period of growth and happiness among my friends, companions and enemies, old and new. I’m calling it Pax Lupine, or Peace of the Wolf. There have been no cheaters during this two-month phase.
). I don’t believe that is your intention but that may be how others are interpreting it.
