Guys, about the Gemini - Gold issue. Yesterday the server hard disk said bye bye. Although I have a replacement ready and characters have been backed up, I do not have any desire to bring the server up at the moment. Because of this widespread cheating and my unability to monitor the cheating...

There are many that played fair on Gemini but I know several that do not and more will emerge all the time. I have one simple principle, I will not offer my server for people who can not play fair within the rules of the server (The server rules were clearly posted in the Server News)

However, the server will be up when one of these two conditions have beceome true:

1) The server gets fixed up so that it prevents this blatant client side cheating

2) I can find a tool that allows me monitor the server more without needing to log in to the game. See my other thread that I posted yesterday about this kind of a tool...

If I bring the server up before these issues are solved it most probably will be password protected to allow only trusted players to log in.

I am sorry guys, the cheaters have ruined it for everyone.

It seems they always do. It's a shame, but unavoidable I'm affraid.

Thanks for the time we played on the server Xan, hope it will reduce your grief a bit.

Xan - how about starting it in PW mode for the time beeing?

Post Tue Mar 04, 2003 2:56 pm

thats a pity, cause i really enjoyed playing there.

password protect it, and hand out the password to trusted players.

and also. what is the fun part of cheating in this game?
i can understand the reasons behind cheating in a game like cs, cause then it´s all about humiliating your friends, but this game is all about traveling into unknown space and gather money and have fun while doing it. cheating results in just mindless flying around, which seems like something that for sure isnt fun enough.

Maybe cheating is just for the people who like to PK. Can't imagine another reason because like you said Harkon: "this game is all about traveling into unknown space and gather money and have fun while doing it".

Couldn't have said it in a better way.

Post Tue Mar 04, 2003 5:35 pm

damn

it would be a very good idea to bring the server back up with a PW

and for the cheating : i really dont give a **** when people do, unlike counter-strike it wont affect any fun i have on the server

i play this game for fun, its not about winning or losing anything
