Pertaining worries of cheating and a disolving server.

        Server (60) Claudia
        ;It has come to the attention of many that due to constant rumors and such about hacking and cheating that trust has become a big issue in our server.
        ;No one knows who to trust anymore in or out of guild. People are verbally attacking each other. Maybe we are all wrong. Which leads to the next problem.
        ;Many players are tired of the server slowly disolving into nothing. We have only two active guilds currently. And it seems the players quiting daily are on the rise.
        ;The remaining players have made up to four;alt characters just to keep the server alive but im not sure how much longer they can keep it up. Does anyone have any;
        ;suggestions on how to stop this? ; ; - Thank you

Your only hope is a SERVER MERGE. Once players have left they do not come back.

Due process.

If there is cheating, then have those players investigated. However, most such accusations I\'m aware of are made by people who understand the game poorly tbh (usually regarding Twilight Clash). It\'s up to the guild leaders in particular to stop that, to explain publicly how these are simply bugs that nobody has control over, and that affect both teams. If you\'re not sure on these, I\'d recommend explaining here what things are believed to be cheats, so that players here can see whether there are normal explanations for it.

In a toxic atmosphere of accusations, players are going to leave. You\'ll want to put an end to that, work on server unity, which is a must when your server is small.;

And of course in the long run, a server merge may just be necessary. But until then, try to keep people calm. Otherwise half will quit over unfair play that likely doesn\'t actually exist, and the other half will quit over the drama.

Thank you for the solid advice. As I mentioned that it is the fear of cheating is ;pushing players to lash out and others leave due to unfair treatment. I would love to try server unity but the last two guilds are up in arms against each other. communication is minimal if at all. But I have come on here due to the care that I have for those on my server. I wont give up. I hope everyone else wont as well.

It\'s okay for guilds to have rivalry, even healthy... but you have to contain that. Often it\'s the little things. We make a habit of congratulating the boss-killers in World Boss, for instance, in world chat. If people lash out about cheating in Twilight Clash (the most common complaint I\'m aware of) , our main veterans will make sure to calm things down, remind people what bug this is, and that people in our own guild have the same bug (hasn\'t been needed for some time).;
During TC we tend to trashtalk a bit in world chat, but always in a friendly way; afterwards we congratulate and thank each other for the match. I myself have tossed my alt in the main rival guild (with their permission of course, and no secrecy!) so I can easily have a chat with them if needed, throw them a guild boss or things like that. ;And of course just having the occasional chat, stripping for non-guildies when needed, all things like that. Keeps the server happy .

As said, if there are specific cheat suspicions coming up that you\'d like a comment on, do share. Player names shouldn\'t be necessary; this is about explaining what\'s likely going on. I make the presumption of innocence with that; if needed, mods can check out cases that we cannot explain otherwise.

Bottomline is, start that communication, be nice. Stand up for non-guildies who are being treated unfairly.;Likely there are others who would gladly reciprocate, but who (perhaps like you?) don\'t want to make the first move. Once you get that going, even if there are a few who will harbor their resentment, they\'ll be the exceptions. Most important task is for the guild leaders, who also have to keep the guildies in line if they go too far.
It can be as easy as just having a little fun in world chat together. In my case that started some friendships between guilds, which we could later build upon. Have a chat with a rival during TA. It serves as a very good reminder that those people are just like you. Exchange some thoughts on your builds among the hardcore players, it helps respecting each other.;

In the end, that\'s in everyone\'s interests. You want healthy rivalries where players will study each other, have someone to measure themselves against and improve that way. As in any game: you know it\'s right when after a minute-long battle one side drops to the floor and says nice shot .
