Hey all
Thanks for the info Death. I joined EU Pure in January 2020 and have never left since. I have about 3k hours on record and our team together has 20k hours on EU pure.
It's safe to say we are regulars .
First off a big thanks for me as well. I enjoyed so many (!) awesome and hilarious moments on the server. The community and the core players I played with over the last 3 years were the main reason I was playing on Eu Pure all this time. Also the admins and the server itself. What an awesome server! Now to the changes...or at least my opinion about them. Writing my 2 cents here is the least i can do for all the fun I had.
I pretty much agree 100% with what NonZero wrote a few posts up. Some points i would like emphasize a bit more and provide some details about WHY this will probably not be the server for me anymore sadly.
Just as NonZero wrote for me this was the chillout time after hard days of work. Having to hack down walls with spears or c4 is really not what this is about for me. So the removal of the salvaged hammer is pretty much a deal breaker for me.
Farming is fine too, but thats not what this game is about for me. I like to build beautiful bases with complex electricity, automation and all that stuff. Thank god decay will not be enabled!
Mobile Recycler? I could live with that, but still would prefer to have it
Instanced quarries, pumpjacks and excav are so awesome...now that mentioned queuing will be back. Is there one single person enjoying that? Yes, the economy on the server went down (I had big shops all the time, so I know)...but is it worth it? I for sure will not enjoy having to run around and collect diesel. Because before it at least was lgf which has now changed and makes it even worse than before
No more buying of gens means having to revert to a) the very bugged solar panels or b) the wind turbine farms loved by everyone, especially hardcore mini pilots like me
I have been teamed up with the admins for pretty much most of that time and saw the work they put in and what difference some of the features made to their daily work (fights over brad and heli loot, stealing and looting, pumpjacks, etc.). For me removing these will be a big step backwards.
TLDR; EU Pure was the sweet spot between the heavily modded RustEZ servers and the vanilla servers out there. I will certainly miss that, because there are not many like this. I will give it a shot, but I am 100% certain that I will miss those features a lot. My gut feeling tells me quite a few of the Core Players will be leaving which is the worst for me. So let's see. If I should decide to leave, I would like to thank all the awesome people on EU pure for the fun I had...you guys (and girls) rock ! And that of course includes all the admins (R4, Warzone, Method, Michael, Ar0n, Wolfgang, Megan, Fly, ...)
@Death was there ever a taught about to add this server config (Pures as they are right now) in the lineup between the more modded ones and actual vanilla ones (yes I know servers are not free) or downgrade one of the two modded lines a bit? That would be the golden solution for me.
