Wist

This is a deeply troubling situation, which I hope is rectified so the community based around its servers can come back to life.
 
Being serious, when are we gonna become a Witcher 3 fanbase community?

Happy birthday big Rob ❤️

At a christening in coastal Irish mist this past weekend. My camera film was x-rayed to shit by airport security which has caused the heavy grain and banding... They fucked the roll, out of 10 shots I got 3 usable photos.

Name the OB players who joined through (a) minigames and (b) surf.
(a): sonytwan
(b): ?????? nobody
 
JB makes communities, MG maintains them a bit, surf is something new to do for existing members unless you're surfheaven big, and retake servers do not do diddily squid

Today (tomorrow by a few minutes really) I leave home to move out. Not sure when I’ll next have a desk and internet so i respectfully request to return to veteran status until then 
 
didn’t really get to say goodbye properly so much love to you all, will be reachable by phone I’m sure

It's nice to see an update from the admin team, it'd be nice if we could get this bumped to at least once a month just so we don't think everything is dead.
Servers
I am excited for the new minecraft server, some of my favourite moments on minecraft have been on OB member servers. I really enjoyed the vanilla village that was made a few years ago and would be interested in starting up a new village if others are interested.
There is some discussion about CSGO Jailbreak, Surf and Minigame servers. Personally I don't think OB has got enough players willing to retain an active population but could easily have a few days of fun. This is one reason why a year ago I looked into hosting events and keeping the server open for a few weeks but unfortunately that and every other server that has been tried in the last year has had this same fatal flaw. Perhaps if more people took an interest in the Warden role then we may stumble into something the community can willing to populate.
Shoutbox & Discord
Hopefully the shoutbox will bring a little spark to the forums that has been lacking over the past few months.
I think it's a real shame that discord is fallen by the wayside for now. I think that Discord would improve activity for less active players as they aren't required to join voice chat in order to show activity but on the other hand gives the super active players a great set of channels to do their regular mingling. I think Discord would create much better inter-community relationships as there would be more open chatboxes that players can opt-in and out of, similar to having multiple shoutboxes. Most importantly I think it would bring the community together as we would no longer be required to be spread between so many different platforms such as teamspeak, the shoutbox and the variety of different whatapp groups that are floating about.
 
?‍♂️ Surf here.

New players won't play it, most people are after one game mode, and having to learn rule for 3 servers can confuse people

How about a retake server?

I would personally like to apologize for how long this has taken to get to everyone, I understand the frustration that has been built up around the lack of information from staff to members but I can put your hearts to rest by telling you there have been no new updates. We have had few talks about what can change to improve footfall into the community and during these talks nothing has been suggested to do so. As it stands we are a community of on going friends which create servers by popular demand, there is no dead set game that people can play without getting quickly bored of it which begs the question of why put in a few weeks time and effort into something that will last 1 week?
 
During tonight's admin meeting we discussed a few topics of importance and would like to give the information directly to you;
Teamspeak/Discord
After the vote we have concluded that the community will remain on the Teamspeak 3 server however we will still have the Discord server for a back up, with this decision being made we will be introducing a "donation cup" onto the Forums to allow us to maintain the upkeep of the server. If there is a lack of funds we will fund the remained for the month but if it is a reoccurring thing then we will have to close the Teamspeak server and move to discord. Teamspeak 5 is soon to be released and we hope to have very similar abilities as Discord has.
Chatbox
We will be moving the Chatbox onto the front of the forums, however it will be located near the bottom of the page and will require log-in to view it. If anyone is seen breaking the Chatbox rules or just being disrespectful they will have their access removed.
Servers
Over the past few months we have been working on a Minecraft server, constructing building and testing plug-ins. We have now decided that won't be going ahead and we will likely be creating a Vanilla server with a spawn area, the server will be wiped every month to avoid things getting stale and give new teams a chance to take the lead in warfare. This is only a idea at the moment and we are open to any other ideas you guys may have.
 
We will try rolling out different servers (not Minecraft) in vanilla states without over modding so they don't take too long to set up to just be put back in the toy box. If you have any games in mind then please feel free to mention it in this post or to any of us (preferably not Cheesepuff as he tends to forget).
Donation system
We will have a widget on the front page which will show how much of our monthly goal we have achieved, the goal will be around £20 per month so we are able to keep the Teamspeak server up, if in the future we require any additional funds we will make a post to let you guys know whats happening so not to keep everything behind the scenes.
 
We appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope this helps you to understand where we stand.
