When you select the server and are waiting for it to load, it may take you back to the Main Menu screen. DO NOT DO ANYTHING. The server will load in a few seconds after and you will get in. It looks like they goofed something up in the loading screen prosess that makes it "look" like you were kicked back out to the main screen.

Hello exiles,

My original goal for the server was to have 3 factions and to make this a PvP/Light RP environment. With no way to actually white list the server like in other games, I tried using a password. This has caused a lot of connection issues for people, but at least kept the server free of random griefers.

After a lot of thought and watching what people have done on the server these past few days, it is clear that the closed server idea is basically making this a PVE server. While I think offline raiding is poison to survival games, this game offers no protection from such actions. That being said, I am considering a few options. I need your feedback on what you think of the ideas as I would like to make this fun for all of you and give you a say in what we build here.

Option 1: Turn structure damage off completely, but remove the rules about KOS. Open world PvP will have no rules and can happen any number of times. The server password would be removed immediately.

Option 2: Increase the damage needed to destroy structures to the maximum setting. Reduce the time and materials needed to craft items. Increase gathering rates to 5.0 from 3.0 so that people can recover from raids faster.
The server password would be removed this Friday to give current players time to prepare.

Option 3: Leave the server password protected, but remove the need for people to interview for access. Anyone that joins the server group and posts interest would be allowed in. This doesn't offer much control of access, but it would hopefully keep most of the non active masses from joining just to build all over and leave in a day or two.

Please post any other ideas or options you have below.

Thank you.

Once you are given the password, you have to start the game WITHOUT Battle Eye or it will say the password is invalid even though it isn't.
