The "Server Owner Effect"

[RainOfPain125]

As the owner of a large franchise that isn’t exactly popular, I can definitely agree. There are definitely, in your terms,

@BroXn

The more Successful Server Owners I’ve seen repeatedly harass the lower end server owner’s making them not feel welcome, just wanna stop hosting or just stop playing the game.

I’ve seen them destroying communities and raiding other communities repeatedly. They adapt strategies and even go so far as becoming/hiring an “undercover developer” to destroy the servers from inside out making them loose all data.

People who own successful servers to sabotage others. @ForeverBlue was shedding light on this in a DM a while ago, in regards to two owners of big RP franchises. Claims that Ascivv (from ACK) and Modern Mo (from Modern RP) have harassed other franchises they deem as competition, and have directly tried to sabotage, create chaos on other rp’s, and have sent people to try and apply for staff to become moderator and ban everyone from the inside.

They sent someone to do that to my friend foxx’s server. They failed.

Persnal opinion that has to do with politics

Capitalists will do anything in their power to generate more profit. If they think your server franchise is a threat or competition they will harass, sabotage, ddos, dox, and whatever they can do to take you out. I’ve seen it before on Unturned servers, and it’s even worse on Minecraft.

Lookup the Morai Botnet story if you want a cool one. Two kids created an entire botnet, and instead of hitting the competing server offline, they hit an entire internet provider offline.

@BroXn

These people should get removed or resolved from the community ASAP. But how we can do that is another question. These types of people doesn’t help the community at all

I already have a solution for these kinds of servers headed by such people and to protect players. These people come to Unturned just to get fame and flip a profit - they have no regards to the community or the game.

@BroXn

The point of why i am writing this topic is To STOP Server/Community Raid’s and the harassment that affects the lower end communities

Again,

Political Opinion

Whatever will bring profit for capitalist server owners will be done, even if it’s a ■■■■-move like attacking other server franchises

@BroXn

Do NOT hire/recruit any server developer(s) - try to do everything yourselves you can stay
independent.

Theres some franchises like the RASF dedicated to helping other hosters out / help them develop stuff. Rather I’d advise you only trust credible sources like entire franchises or groups, not individual shady people.

@BroXn

• Try avoiding going with any sketchy “Partnerships” - Well if you know what your doing, go for it and if
not don’t

Sketchy partnerships, I guess. Usually when I think of “partnership” I merely advertise another franchise. I’m not sure what your definition of partnership is. Maybe care to enlighten us?

@BroXn

From my research I’ve come to the conclusion from using https://unturned-servers.net (03.03.2019)
about 2150 (Not Exact) Server’s goes offline after their first month and the rest of the remaining 2300 servers stays up longer than a month. so about 40-50% of the servers just close.

A lot of server owners making shitty, poor decisions, like renting a server. These owners are not dedicated enough to have a proper server so they make the poor choice to over-pay a hoster. Usually they run out of money - and as you observe, the server goes down. If not, they need to turn to P2W in order to pay for the monthly rent.

Either way, its a poor decision on the owners end, and the players end for playing a rented server. When I look for servers I specifically look for dedicated, home-hosted ones that will stay for a long time.
