A message to the community and staff, from a long-time player

I’ve been a part of this server for around four years. In that time, I’ve seen its highs and lows, built friendships, and spent countless hours building, fighting, and creating memories — like so many of you have. Although I am currently banned — permanently, based on the accusation that my boyfriend was an alt account — I still care deeply about this community, and I believe I have the right to speak up, especially for those who may be thinking the same but are too afraid to say it.

There is a growing culture of fear on the server. Many players feel like they’re walking on "eggshells", constantly worried that any small misstep, or even being on the wrong side of a report, could get them banned. This isn’t just about my case — it's a broader atmosphere of insecurity that comes from the so-called “ban wars,” and the perception that bans are being used as political tools rather than genuine rule enforcement.

One of the biggest concerns is that punishments often seem to be based on suspicion rather than clear and verified evidence. Players are being banned not because of proven actions, but because of assumptions. And when appeals are submitted, many are outright rejected without any explanation or opportunity for the accused to defend themselves. That is not justice — it’s silencing.

There is also a serious issue with how staff sometimes engage with players. I say this with full respect: some interactions cross the line of professionalism, politeness, and fairness. It’s one thing to enforce the rules; it’s another to do so in a way that feels dismissive or even hostile. This damages trust in the staff team and the overall health of the community.

I understand that running a server of this scale is incredibly difficult. Mistakes happen, pressure builds, and people burn out. But if we want to rebuild trust and improve the experience for everyone — both staff and players — there needs to be change. And I genuinely believe that if anyone has the ability to make that change, it’s Zaify!

Zaify, you are in a unique position. You’ve seen this server grow over the years. You’ve watched the community evolve. And right now, more than ever, the community needs leadership that listens, that reflects, and that takes bold steps toward healing the divide that has formed.

Let this be a turning point. Let this be a moment where we all — staff, players, banned or not — work toward making this server a place that people love being part of again. Not one where we’re afraid to speak, afraid to play, or afraid to exist.

Thank yall for reading.
