SonyTwan reacted to Fluxy in When will OB be great again?
Does anyone else remember that time Mintlou spent 3 years bitching about how lazy the mods and admins were and how little they were doing and how it would be so different if he was given the amount of power required to turn this place around....

UNLOCK:
It has been decided via a democratic vote linked to your forum account, that the future of Outbreak voice communication will exist on TeamSpeak 3. Thank you for taking the time to think about this and cast your vote. This has been a subject of long deliberation within the community among its members and guests who visit.
The other matter on which you may ponder, is how on God's great Christian earth did we get 60 votes? To provide an answer to that tantalising conundrum, I will tell you that most of the cast votes are, in fact, made up of inactive members; That is to say, members whom have rightfully earned their entitlement to vote on these important community decisions, thanks to their service of two or more years as once active representatives of Outbreak Community. We would like to take this opportunity to invite those inactive members back into the community to lend their high-standing representation back to Outbreak, in an attempt to attract future individuals to consult our forum and apply for the same positions.
Going forward, Discord voice channels will be disabled. This will allow the platform to purely exist as a text chat alternative, kind of like a big WhatsApp group without having to give people your phone number.
TeamSpeak 3 will remain open, and I suspect will fill up again much like the good old days. There is a Music bot plugin that has been installed, and DJs will be appointed to keep it clean and functional. We are working on that bot right now. But it is in a working state.
See you on TeamSpeak. (Again, this will be revisited when TeamSpeak 5 finally launches)

SonyTwan reacted to Frostie in New Server Proposal
Hello all, following my return I hope to start up 2 Minecraft servers. Understandably you will be rolling your eyes at the sight of a new Minecraft server, however due to a recent surge in Minecraft activity throughout gaming communities I felt it would be a good time to offer a little more than just a basic Minecraft server.
The first being a vanilla server which will be regularly refreshed (weekly most likely) to avoid a snowball effect from tryhard kiddies that will ruin the fun for casual players, the world will be capped with boarders to try and get people to interact with each other, alternatively I will be looking at a light/reliable mod which requires players to trade each other to obtain resources due to skill specialists, this will also involve villagers trading valuable items needed to progress. (Essentially this will be a slow grind to be able to get top tier items, preventing strip miners become OP) The second will be an events server, I shall list a few examples to give you an idea of what to expect.
- Week long hardcore mode; players can log on from Saturday night 7pm play as much as they like to prepare for the final battle at the end, however there will be a resource lock to prevent people from gaining full diamond/iron on the first few days. This will be fully PvP except for the first hour after launch. Death from pvp/pvm/pve results in being removed from the servers white list until the next event.
- 2 hour long hardcore mode; players can log on and will not be met with a resource cap, grace period would be 10 minutes, pvp/pvm/pve deaths result in being removed from the white list.
- Random drop gamemode; every block type drops a random different item e.g. wood log will not drop a wood log but could drop diamond block or a bowl, that diamond block could then be placed and would drop something different or could be used to break into its 9 diamonds. Every block type will drop the same item/treasure loots. After 10 minutes everyone is teleported and will have to fight to the death until one player remains.
- Obstacle maps; simple plug-in which allows player to run through each other to race to the end of a maps obstacles, with this we will try to have a few on hand incase they are completed quickly.
- Hide & Seek; Not like prop hunt it will involve multiple games on different maps but players will not be hidden as objects, instead it will be like a real life hide and seek game.
We will be open to any other event suggestions or improvements/tweaks to the Survival server.
Thanks!

enjoying the fact that half the community still appears to be using TS and this move has basically just split it in half.

SonyTwan reacted to M1nt-l0u in July Monthly Update
Servers
We still currently have a Mordhau server up and running. It has remained stable from a technical point of view, however we agree that the player stats are lower than originally anticipated at this time.
The server resource itself can be reassigned to any game that you wish (providing the setup requirements are reasonable). Please put forward any suggestions either in the shout-box or create a thread if you’ve got something that you’re a bit more passionate about.
Member of the Month
Congratulations to Jamie! He’s our member of the month for his continued efforts in the encouragement in the community progress both in private and public scenarios. We encourage any feedback in a constructive format to be sent our way for continuous development and improvement of the experiences we can provide.
We would like to see more examples of that passion and attitude on the forum!
Weekly Game Nights
The weekly game nights are now being fully managed within the Outbreak calendar. As a courtesy, the events will still be posted in the events section with a URL to the calendar event.
We have listened to feedback about how they should be operated and have decided that the event organiser will attend the event to be the point of contact and moderate the channel if necessary.
We would also like to remind everyone to use the RSVP button within the calendar event to let the organiser know who’s likely to be around. “Maybe” is better to us than no response at all!
OB Merch
Although this was discussed last time, it’s clear that the opinion is overwhelmingly against official community merchandise right now. Never say never!
Community Meeting
We’d like to invite you all to another mass meeting which will be held in TeamSpeak on Thursday 1st August @ 7:30PM
This will give anyone an opportunity to discuss anything they want with Members & Staff. It usually results in people playing some games afterwards too.

Ok im gonna go on a little rant here
Community game nights were discussed in the meeting as a way of bringing the community together in this stagnant phase without a server. There is a quite obvious divide amongst people, not necessarily a bad thing as people have their own friend groups, but for many people to sit in a meeting and agree this would be something everyone was down for but have absolutely fuck all people show up is just abysmal.
It's one night a week, surely more than the SAME 5 people can make an effort and show up? Okay you can argue that the forest wasn't a f2p/cheap game but we also offered skribblio and the ship before that (plenty of people had free copies) but ended up playing mordhau cos 5 people show up... Im not calling out anyone, people know who shows up and who doesn't. I don't blame Eagle for not putting threads up anymore because people can't be bothered.
FFS OB you can do better than this
