For all you know I could be as old as you all or as young as the youngest player. I may be doing this because I find your shit so damn hilarious as well. I already have on multiple occasions shown you who I really was but because I have seen players who have defeated admins "kicked for high ping" many a time on DayZ, not saying its done on your server, I will not tell you my ingame name at this time. But I will concede because it seems making a simple suggestion has turned into a "assemble all FOG for defense of the motherland". I also will concede because I had taken personal offense to something that had not been made as such and acted further than I should have.

Technically you just called your own server a tryhard server since I spend all my time there.

I seem to have struck a nerve. Please procede to unrustle your jimmies. Only the squeakyest.

Not taking anything "too seriously", was just explaining that at this point the only reason we play is to get satisfaction from killing the admins and hiding their SMERSH vests. Not saying we're good, just not saying FOG is either.

You mean those fights/wars where your clan keeps getting outmatched? Thats the only reason my group keeps coming back to FOG at this point. Even in subpar gear we just figure its easier to gear up by defeating your clan. And before you try to refute my point you all know in your hearts and minds how many times you've been defeated at the Vybor military base by us. And as for telling me to rent my own server instead of offering my opinions towards why yours is empty, allow me to reply with insisting you continue to pay for an empty server.

If persistence being turned off is what made FOG #1 so great then why didn't those same maxed out regulars follow over to FOG #2 once you had announced the termination of the ViLayer rented server?

I think you'd get more people if you tried to be different instead of catering to the same group that every other server out there is doing. "Easy" servers are a dime a dozen, the main group of players are looking for a harder experience, something that will actually challenge them instead of turning the game into a non-stop pvp experience where there is no penalty in death. Where is the challenge when if you get into a PvP engagement and you die, within less than an hour you can be back at that location or looking for another fight with gear to cause damage. Turn persistence on, ignore the fact that maybe helicopters may not work correctly but so what if you don't get a silencer or SMERSH vest, you will get that harder loot gearing experience. I think the problem is that 1) its a private hive, and 2) its on "easy" mode that the server won't be full. If people can get the same easy experience from every other server on the public hive, what will make them want to start fresh and have a separate character all together on something that won't allow them to hop around. Ninja Edit: The main reason my group of friends went to your server and hive in the first place back when FOG #1 was started was because of persistence and the lack of hackers. Over the course of playing there the reasons we joined have been removed. We are encountering more hackers and now persistence has been removed. Ninja Edit #2: Go back to your original way of doing it by shutting off persistence for one day a week to allow for those helicopter hunters to get their fix but keep persistence on the other days so the game doesn't just feel like easy mode.

Thats all very easy when no one is ever on the server anymore. Once FOG 1 got cut and #2 was the only one, I haven't seen more than 14 people active in a while. That and persistence is off so of course you can get geared easily, along with your 2-hour loot refresh, I mean server restart.
