  1. First of all, I would like to thank Optimus for all the work he's done for the server. I just got my forum access so this introduction is a bit late Syphon was too excited to announce me. 😅 Anyway, I've seen that there are some things everyone wants me to address first as soon as I get the access I need to act on them. I've made a list of Priorities, however just-in-case I would like to encourage everyone to go to our Suggestions and Bug Tracker(https://community.ragnarevival.com/index.php?/forum/61-bugs-and-suggestions-tracker/) and make sure your issues/suggestions are there and don't forget to thumbs up/down existing posts so I will know if those were priority or not, good idea or bad. I'm not someone who remembers everything in my head so the Tracker will be a good way to make sure I don't miss anything important for the server. I also need to learn a lot of things that I normally wouldn't have to care for in the past when I was fixing bugs in the background during the "Rebirth Era". So please bear with me. I would also like to take this opportunity to mention that soon we will be having a Pardon System of some sort. This is not an April Fools Joke, though I've seen someone did try to make a Joke similar to that. But it turns out it's going to happen for real. I've just obtained permission from Syphon about it. So this means some Banned people may be allowed to go back if they met certain requirements. One of these requirements will be that each Month(once it's started) only a few people(probably less than 3) will be the Top Candidates for Pardon for that month. This is because some cases take a lot of time to retrace and we have a lot of catching up to do, we just missed Easter cause I didn't have access to do Easter stuff and there's a pile of work to be done, I don't have all the time in the world to check out everyone's request for Pardon. The rules for the Pardon System will be announced, but we are considering not only Staff will have a say on who will be the Top 1-3 candidates per month, but the players will also have a vote and be able to nominate candidates. This also does not mean complete unban / removal of punishments. Certain cases will still have a penalty for the damage done to the server. For example, if its item exploits/abuse related, some items including those that are not part of the abuse will be taken. But at least the player won't lose everything forever. That is it for now. I look forward to the cooperation of the players who love this server and want a better future for it. Together we can make this server better every day. Update* I've updated the bug & suggestions tracker settings so it's easier to post issues. I've heard the staff made it a little strict for new users to do that due to some people abusing the tracker and posting grudges when things don't go in their favor. Please encourage others to post there. What I'll be doing in bug suggestions is rotate from new and old issues. this way both new and old issues/bugs/suggestions will be resolved 1 by 1. So if you are concerned about some old issues/suggestions suddenly being implemented/rejected you have to take a look at the tracker and make sure you say a few words to those topics. Also, I won't be unbanning 3pp users until I fixed adelays and possibly get us gepard. I will probably lift the top 3 limits for 3pp and put 3pp users in a different threshold, but still not going to unban everyone at 1 go after all these guys did cheat so they must be punished. I've also noticed that some of you left some good ideas, I appreciate that. Please keep doing so.

  2. To be honest this all boils down to the core issue in this server: The lack of communication. The circle that repeats itself is always the same: Staff stays radio silent (working tho) > things happen > the Staff takes actions > the Staff DOES NOT explain itself > people throw a fit over it (and worse, blackmailing them). A lot of those dramas (ban or just a mechanic change) could had been prevented by more communication. Best example: The Eden set change. The topic was in Gitlab for over half a year, nothing happen, and then BOOM change, without any notice. And believe me, I regularly check gitlab and even to me that was out of the blue. What we really need, and what I already tried pushing to Oppai in the past (with lackluster success), is a sort of "Dev Notes" blog/forum topic/whaterver. Something that tells the players "Yo we are working on this, X gonna happen, what's your thought on project Y", that kinda thing. ====== Now the points that make me probably again the no1 boogey gei on the server. Note, all statements are under the assumption allegations are valid and not some shady "we dunno" case. While I agree, punishments should have a sense of stacking up on another (for example, you won't lose your driver license after 1 mistake (assuming it wasn't THAT bad)), BUT. The thing that kinda annoys me the most with especially the thrid party/macaroni/whatever cheaters is, IT IS IN THE RULES. IT IS IN THERE IN EVEN A BIG RED FONT. It should be f***ing common sense to not cheat in the first place. I can understand a bug abuse, that might accidentally happen. But using a macro? THAT AIN'T HAPPENING ON ACCIDENT. The person did that INTENTIONALLY. A person doing this does this being WELL AWARE they break the rules (and no, the "but I didn't read the rules" excuse doesn't count; Ignorance doesn't protect from punishment) and (in my opinion) should face the CONSEQUENCES. And on that note, since people connect it with "the woe will become alive". Like, really - they never ever thought of, idk, MAYBE get a newer generation to woe? Instead they cling to the old cheaters and hope that they will come back not cheating again? Guess the egos too big to get newbies on board and teach them. God, this really - Yes Oppai did mistakes, but one thing he did well was, that he gave people consequences for their actions. And I respect that. And @1337 I really hope you make a good research on that and don't just unban people 'coz a certain someone wants more money or a bunch of kids pressure you because their egos are hurt. I really hope. Thanks. Also welcome gei, I hope you enjoy hell.
