Offender: noob Steam Battlemetrics Server: RustEZ EU Pure PVE Time: 04:00 CET Length: permanent Reason: Raiding and Griefing More Info (Optional): got called to a group of players. Their base got actively raided. Player "noob" went into their base thorugh an open door, was spawning fresh at the beach. He went straight for the boxes of the team. I talked to him, put what I said in his language in the chat. He kept on griefing boxes. I kicked him, he came back and immediatly went for the boxes of the team again. Kicked again, he did same thing again. After the third time and after i explicitly warned him about a ban I had no other choice than permaban him from the server.

Offender: LEAFBOY Battlemetrics | Steam Server: Rust EZ [EU Pure PVE] Time: 03:10 CET Length: permanent Reason: grieving and stealing other players and harassment More info: He made trouble in chat the entire evening/night. Was spamming and harassing his new found teammate. He walked into a players base and tried to destroy his car. The Admin "Fly" already talked to him and gave him a last chance before ban for that. After Fly left he started again, stole the car of his teammate and changed codes. Final nail in the coffin was That his teammate reached out by reporting him for stealing his car. LEAFBOY wrote in chat again "pussy bitch". I kicked him first. When he came back he was all fired up and wrote in the chat that he will never stop calling us words before he gets banned. He went towards me, told me to shut the fuck up et cetera. I tried to talk him out, he didn't stop so a ban sadly was the last option.

Hello sexy people, Just wanted to let you guys know that after three (THREEE) years of playing on EU Pure its time for me to close the lights after this wipe. Due to the changes so many core players left that I cared so deeply about and the server isn't what it was a few months ago anymore. Its not only the changes, its the players that really gave that social aspect to the game to me that is missing now. The server is dead right now, which is because its not ranked unmodded for now. I know it will be from january and new players will join. But i'm from "the old squad" and was core player for a long time. I always said "I will play here till the server ends!"... and sad but true it did for me now. Time for a new chapter. I deeply want to thank all the admins that I met, all the cool experiences with players and the nice chats in voice or text. It was an awesome time and I deeply enjoyed the server - with the old now gone unique selling points it had. Now its just another "empty vanilla server" and that is sadly not what I'm looking for. It was a blast, thank you all. One last time sexy people: Thats me out! Enjoy your sessions and stay awesome!! Bye, bless your hearts and stay rustique!!

Hey hey, its me (again). There has been some time between my last post and now. I talked to my teammate about that changes and we think about an idea that might work. Maybe it also is just an stupid idea and you can like put contras on it big time but hey, i will give it a try. I think the pure servers with all the perks/plugins are more than just a gateway for new players that want to explore RustEZ more. Because of the core players and the nice communities (we had) it almost became an extra category of servers like scourge or survival is. So my/our idea was: why not make it that way. I see that with the changes now (I know its not completely done so its not vanilla ranked yet) we have less players than ever (12 on now first wipe week, thats nothing). So to the point: Why not leave the Pure servers as they were, with all the plugins and perks as we had them and rename the pure servers (like RustEZ Pure+ or whatever) and open and add a new line of servers for RustEZ on vanilla? On this way you will keep the core players that we have/had on Pure and they will 100 % come back if they realize its all the same AND you have a new line of servers ranked vanilla to get people interested. Just an idea. Let me know what you guys and of course @Death think NonZero

hello hello (LONG wall of text incoming, sorry but there is no way I can make my feelings about the changes clear in a short way) before I start with my oppinion on those very changes: I play on pure servers since 2,5 years straight now and never turned back to any other server because this is just EXACTLY the way that I love Rust to be played and that is for sure also because of all the plugins and all the extras we have here. I don't want to get angry here or rage or anything like that because leaving the conversation state here is not my intension. And as an ex-admin from PVP Servers of Rust myself I know that there is no harder group of people to convince to changes than gamers that love a game or a server. Now that thats made clear all I can say to the changes that I am really sad about them. Why is that? I love this community on Pure EU. And I know for a fact that people will leave. They already do. Since the thumbleweeds of the changes are around we lost SO many players and SO many nice groups of core players (talking about ppl that played since 4 - 5 years here on the server) and some of them will never come back because of the changes. Thats up to them of course but that is also an effect that those changes have and they will have in the future. Those servers are about to have a damn crazy time and also the change for people that have 10 h work a day to enjoy rust in their sparetime. And thats only possible because of stuff like the instanced querries (HQM grind and selling, Excavator for boxes of frags in one run etc. etc.). So for people that want the same experience on the servers like before with their RP or big bases will have a massive problem. For me in this case, well: i'm a farmer so i will have a massive cloth farm again - why? Because I have this very 10 h work-a-day madness going on and not the time to farm the roads or do monuments for evey scrap i'll need. I want to focus on the main struggle I have with the changes so lets move on to the next (and also for negative last) one: The admins: you do such an amazing Job here!! Thanks for that in so many ways guys! But I think that there will be stress coming up for the admins. If you take away sleepers protection, loot protection, perso drops and especially the quarries you will get a MASSIVE shitshow in the chat. 90 % of the admin pings will be "XY stole my hqm, XY stole my LGF, XY robbed me sleeping, XY stole my mini". etc. The other 10 % will be "can you remove the wall here for me?"... I think with the changes you take away SO many plugins and extras the admins fought so hard for to have an easier life here and I think it will be really really stressful to admin this server with vanilla settings (i was - as said - admin and host of a pvp rust server on vanilla and admining this thing... dude... was basically a full time job). so now that this is said the real last big issue is about the VIP stuff. I mean what about all those players that supported with 20 bugs in order to have the daily drop and personal recycler. Taking that stuff away almost feels like cutting them. Not gonna lie here... So there is really just one question from my side: You made a poll for the Decay situation. If players want the decay back or not. Why didn't you make a poll on those huge changes. Why didn't you ask the players on the servers if they want that? I don't get that to be honest with you. Death, I really enjoy your server and I really am grateful for you work and your passion and I can't even put in words how thankful I am for what you do for us but I think a poll would have been the best way here. So to put a final line under that (sorry the long posts, but those changes are so extreme for the server itself that it will effect basically EVERYTHING here so yeah... sorry for pouring my heart out here): I am cool with playing vanilla, did this for a damn long time before I found my peace here. But I know for a fact that there will be players on this server that you don't need on a server with a peaceful community. So yeah, the player count might be higher, but I can tell you just now that there will be a lot of work for the admins with those players that will join. Basically you will have the feeling of first wipe night/week all wipe. Rust is a toxic game and with the changes you open the gates also for all those toxic players. I know for a fact that this will happen. So yeah... I don't know... lets see how it ends but for me I just can tell that I will give it a try. And if the points that I'm afraid of will happen WILL happen well yeah... next station will be mine dude... Sorry for the long text Best, NonZero

I had a discussion in game chat on @(EUPure) that escalated greatly. The chat started at 02:22 server time. I spoke to player "DaBoss" about the current twitch policies. (Since I'm a streamer myself, I have a very strong opinion on this and may have chosen too harsh words, which I hereby excuse). DaBoss for some insane reason stole the talk and started talking about - I quote his words - "gender bullshit". He has repeatedly declared that people who do not identify with their biological sex, either ethnically or socially, are mentally ill. He also used statements like "40 years ago they would have been taken away in white jackets". Unfortunately, when I asked if it would harm him in any way or take away his rights if he adapted his language so that everyone felt accepted and welcome, he became extremely aggressive towards me. Not only were my statements twisted, but there was also a very specific attempt to make me angry. The statements made by him are not only inhumane, but in my opinion violate the guidelines several times and massively. In addition, he did not respond to repeated requests from me to let the conversation rest, since we cannot come to a common denominator here. He started doing it again and again until an admin had to intervene to end the conversation. Neither in real life nor in this wonderful community is fascism or exclusion acceptable to me. I believe that such behavior should be punished.

Hello Hello, Well here are my thoughts about enable decay: Pros: - people will play more till the end of the wipe because they need to take care to get the mats for their bases not to be destroyed. Contras: - players will start building big farms and due to the industrial update also massive machines to refill the TC and handle the decay. That imo will lead to more lagg than we have now. - due to the industrial update it won't change the fact that players will still build big bases because with it you basically can outsmart the upkeep like there is none. So big bases + big farms/machines for upkeep = more lagg - it will cut the creativity of the players that love to build (like I am) and some with focus on building will eventually leave servers they loved - there will be a huge gap between players that can play a lot (because they have the time) and players that won't be able to play a lot (work, reallife and so on and so on). If you work 40 h a week you won't be able to have big bases anymore because all you will do in your short time you have to play is handle the decay. - you might loose a lot of players if you activate the upkeep because a lot of them I know are on the server because there is none. I play on EU:Pure and for me its about the abbility to build farms, to grind the hqm and cloth game and to have fun with players. When my base once is set I love to be able to just enjoy the game. Do monuments, kill Helicopter and Bradley and just have a blast. As you can tell by the points that I put down (the important ones, there are more but I want to keep it "short") its a big fat NO for me for enable upkeep! Cheers, NonZero
