Still waiting for admins to decide on IF the servers is getting reset
Players say there are issues with;
Amount of loot at the moment in Bedford
Broken loot spawn in WP
Admins insta building when players like Grumpy/Trashboat/Usain etc bolt spend hours of game time hard grafting making some quite frankly amazing structures seems pointless when u get an admin just doing whatever the hell it was to gigamart/bedford
There is talk about a hard reset which im sure has already driven off regular players as there is no proposed date to this as promised
No safe zone like the church
Broken Spawn points
The littering mod
Not enough active admins
TIS Forum not updated
Events not being planned due to some of the aforementioned problems
Bedford being so far away from both towns.
Just pull your finger out and communicate with the community everyone knows that its gonna take some time to get stuff done but you NEED to let people know wtf is gonna happen
Seriously for a server that's asking for MONEY donations to keep running this is pretty poor performance
Please feel free to dispute any of the items i have listed as this is one of the best servers and i am only saying this so that u can look at some of the points to keep this one of the best servers.
Oh and i would ask you to keep some of the better bases/community areas alive for some of the most dedicated players that spent hours making them. you can delete alexcrappier for all i care. but not anis/trashboats etc i would petition for those ones to stay.
feel free to comment.

-Amount of loot at the moment in Bedford
Bedford is going to be removed since it's causing issues, problem is time and I'm the only one who has access to make changes.. Spent some time in the hospital and I have only one usable hand at the moment.
-Broken loot spawn in WP
Still waiting for specifics, I need to know what places are not spawning loot so I can wipe those areas..
-Admins insta building when players like Grumpy/Trashboat/Usain etc bolt spend hours of game time hard grafting making some quite frankly amazing structures seems pointless when u get an admin just doing whatever the hell it was to gigamart/bedford
Not sure what admin did this, or how it's really a problem when bedford isn't staying, and gigamart is a POI that gets wiped when needed. So if it's an issue I can wipe Giga and fix whatever mess was made. No built structure is safe if it's a POI.
-There is talk about a hard reset which im sure has already driven off regular players as there is no proposed date to this as promised
No there's no hard wipe. All hard wipes have a date if we plan on doing them. So no surprises. I was joking about a hard wipe because of bedford, which is really the only area getting a massive hard wiped.
-No safe zone like the church
There's no true safe zone, it's impossible to maintain order 24/7 without admins to do so. We tried it in the past and it just ended up being more work than intended.
-Broken Spawn points
What spawns are broken? I'll fix them, I need specifics.
-The littering mod
Working as intended, don't see an issue here.
-Not enough active admins
Yeah, that's why we have applications open. We'll be selecting some shortly.
-TIS Forum not updated
Can't really control this, one of the other admins posted it and I don't have access to their account. Don't rely on TIS post since this is our main forum.
-Events not being planned due to some of the aforementioned problems
Well, hopefully things have been cleared up after what I've said.
-Bedford being so far away from both towns.
Explained above.
Sorry if I seem salty, but it's a real pain typing with only one hand and makes everything take much much longer. The whole point of the new server is so that I can relieve my load and let other admins handle server issues when I cannot or am unavailable.

No i completely understand your issues with hospital stays as its frustrating due to waiting for things to happen. For the loot spawn i know that about 70% of the mall wont re-spawn loot and some parts of town. I was unaware that it was just Bedford that is actually going so thank you for letting me know. do you know when this will be as i will need to get my alt out of there or i guess he will fall into the black void of map? As for the hard wipe it was mentioned in game and in jest outside on this forum and it says monthly on the TIS forum which i did not know was not under either your control or any of the admins. Could i suggest that u allocate 1 of your admins to create a new Zeeks Thread on the TIS forum so that players know what to expect, takes a job off your hands/hand  and hopefully encourage new players to join. Well the mul spawn is broken as it takes u to bedford but that wont be a problem once bedford is gone. I haven't seen any of the littering items in the mods scripts (dirty pans,empty packs, empty glue, dirty bowl etc) might just be overlooking them in game or something then Fair point with the safe zones as they were a hotbed of activity. Thank you for taking your time to reply i know i can unpack my base out of my chars now and hopefully help some of the newer players. oh and not grief swain as much ;D Hope your hand heals ok Zeek those zombie bites can be nasty  |

Nice point brought up and thanks to Zeek for easy communication. Hope you feel better, Zeek; just want to the hospital myself two days ago due to acute bronchitis.
-Broken Spawn Points
-selecting Muldraugh spawns your character just outside the northwestern city limits of Bedford. West Point spawn is not broken as far as I know.
-Broken Loot Spawn in WP
-Gun Shop
-Shooting Range
-I didn't find much besides food respawns over the entirety of WP, but not 100%
-Admins Instabuilding
-Rich?

To Zeek & ma Zeek's Haven peeps Sorry to hear about your physical condition, pal. hop your "good" hand is ok  -Broken Spawn points
[/font]Muldraugh spawns ppl randomly throughout bedford. hopefully will be fixed with the removal of bedford. -Broken loot spawn in WPThe whole city needs a wipe (at least all the buildings) from the furthest poi north west all the way to the bridge, no container is spawning loot. It's also directing a lot of traffic to bedford or other areas, leaving west point a literal ghost town. -Not enough active admins
I've been making a point to be on more lately, so just keep an eye out for my steam name (ZombieHobbes) because I don't often log in as an admin just to exist at beck-and-call. Often, I'll be on my non-admin character appreciating life from a player's perspective, all in the name of better understanding all of your plights as mere mortals of this fantastic, early-stages realm of a game. And maybe I still have fun a little too. heheh. nevertheless. don't be afraid to ask if an admin is on or if you notice my steam name, speak up for what you need. I also accept PMs and often reply quite quickly, so don't be shy to contact an admin if anyone is feeling like we are too far removed from our posts. We're here for ya. |

For what it is worth, The Trashboat has no objection to admins using their divine powers to create interesting structures and additions. While it is true that it takes him longer to build and he has less options, he does not believe his own creations are lessened in any way by the presence of something that someone else built  |

I personally don't think it's a good thing when admins user their special powers to construct anywhere near POIs... or towns for that matter. I would prefer that players using purely natural means be restricted to such constructions and if admins want to make glorious monstrosities, they should do it far from civilization... just my two berries.

Rich's monstrosity in Bedford was a complete, ugly shitshow. It ruined a major part of the map. Was massive, and was used for all of 3 hours.

I am a muld guy. Loot is not respawning at all in muld, as far as I can tell. At least, not in lower muld. Spawning in muld doesn't work. I have to choose wp and then run all the way down.
What's interesting is the run lets me get a look at some of the awesome player-built structures in wp. There is this epic three building complex slightly south of WP that is really impressive. I also greatly appreciate whoever built "Rest station Bravo" on the highway.

I tested loot respawn in Muld a couple of hours ago and found that it was respawning after a POI wipe. Have you tried it since then?

Loot may be a hit or miss I need more details on particular POI's to wipe so loot will respawn, but we tested and it was spawning loot fine. |

-No safe zone like the churchCertainly gives an interesting idea for a mod, though... A topic for another thread at a later date, in any scenario. -Not enough active adminsI'd like to explain my contribution to this problem, a little more, because I most certainly haven't been a very active in-game admin for a good long spell now. In the last three or four months I've done a decent amount of moving and traveling, and picked up a little more work to boot. Apart from that, a couple months ago I had a much more emotional reaction to a debacle than I feel is appropriate for my role - not that the matter in question wasn't appropriately provocative, but I failed to meet my own standards when I took it personally and returned fire in a less-than-mature retaliation. The exchange produced no great atrocities, but with even more certainty there was not a single constructive outcome, either. Bluntly, it was an unnecessary tax on the time and emotions of all parties involved - I should have known better then, and I most certainly do now. To that end, Hobbes has my eternal respect for handling hairy situations with an impressively level head. I ran away and buried myself in code to recompose and reflect, which is actually a lot more warm and cuddly than you might imagine. A nerd by trade, I've gotten somewhat addicted to my projects Not that any of this is justifies the problem, of course. In the next couple weeks I should be back on TeamSpeak while I work with my old regularity - I'm usually marked as "away", but feel free to poke me and with any luck I'll have an opportunity to jump in-game and address any pressing issues coming up shortly. I'll also see if leaving my admin character in-game while working on community-related projects is plausible (depending on what I'm doing... sometimes I need the extra resources), and review the chat-log at intervals. Again, not necessarily active admin-ing, but hopefully it will help to mitigate the problem, somewhat.

Loot is definitely respawning in muld. Thanks! I was getting to the point that I was living off of orange soda.
