A few days ago I started playing on it and I decided it was pretty cool, everyone was nice at first and everything went well. I died a few times at the beginning from one of the factions so I joined another faction. After that I got my own plot like it said, everything went well. So then I donated $25 to get some stuff and a bigger plot. I spent all night excavating it and building a rough house to work on later. Then this guy on the opposite faction decides he doesn't like me so every time he's on he puts a bounty on my head and then uses the bounty system to track me and kill me over and over again. It's almost all he does when he's online.
I'm still trying to get my bearings and he has been on the server for a while so he already has everything. I try to run when he is far away and he speed hacks over to me (I had typed as he was coming to me from far away and it showed up without any lag, so I know he was far away and it wasn't just lag.) I turn to run into a house and he kills me with his diamond sword. Over and over this happens.
The mods just disregarded my complaints and told me to shut up and it's part of the game and that I didn't have any proof because they never saw it.
The guy seriously griefed me every time I was online, no one would help so I couldn't escape because he could use the bounty system to locate me and then come kill me when I was trying to mine or anything else. The mods are very hypocritical and unprofessional, they will not stop you from being spawn camped.
Donaters do not receive almost any of the benefits it describes on the website. Most of the players are alright, it's just 1-2 moderators that want to go about their own business and will tell you to shut up whenever you try to talk to anyone. The petition system is largely ignored. I tried it, trust me. My tickets got closed almost instantly and because I was new none of the decent mods would listen.
I was atleast 1,000+ blocks away from any city digging a base with a guy that came with me because of a spider spawner I found so we could level excavating away from the city so we wouldn't make a mess for other people to see and we didn't want to make the area we actually used ugly.
This guy logs on and of course he puts a new bounty on my head. I thought it was safe because we were a very good distance from town and who would walk for 20-30 minutes just to come kill someone? Well he does. So I get upset, I'm in vent and I try to tell them that he is exploiting the bounty system to grief me.
As often as he does it, it can't be considered PvP because I was at 0 power, far away from the base, with no valuables. He kills us both because we're both pretty new and we don't even have arrows for our bows yet (why we needed the gravel we were excavating as well.) He comes in OVER our giant wall, there are no holes in this wall because we patched it up and made it high, we're inside a giant circle and he did not burrow in or make a door.
I was running around trying to get out and away from him but he just spammed me with arrows and I could not find his route in. I've seen him flying/speed hacking before but no one would believe me no matter what. They either didn't care or like it. The mods go around with god mode on very often killing new players and players that have barely gotten their stuff together.
They will pretend to be nice at first, but once you get settled in they will grief you and treat you like garbage. I played by the rules and did my best, but they let this hacker repeatedly kill me by exploiting the bounty system and speed/fly hacking.
I tried my best to get them to pay attention but they really only care about themselves and the veteran players. The guy that griefed me's ingame name is 'anamericandude'. So please watch out for him as well if he attempts to join your server. Thank you.
Tl:Dr Don't join, they are a cliche driven hypocritical posse of ignorance and abuse. You wont be helped, not after your first day. If a hacker or someone targets you to grief, they don't give a **** unless it interferes with their gameplay.
(Better?)
Mod edit: This is not the place for server disputes, please take it to the appropriate server thread.
Sorry, I'm upset because I made a couple friends on there and wasted my money on them only to have an overzealous and selfish mod ban me. It looks good when you start out but honestly they treat you like crap. I helped out and pointed out bugs in the plugins to them, I thought the owner was nice and he was always around but whenever I try to tell him this guy was griefing me he says, 'shut up its a pvp server'. PvP does not equal spending ALL and I seriously mean ALL of this guys time hunting me down and killing me. It was actually flattering before I got so pissed off from having my stuff stolen repeatedly while the mods were off spawn camping the first day players until they logged out.
ME: "guys, anamericandude and doodlord(doodlord is a mod btw.) are spawncamping our graveyard and they keep killing us over and over..."
Mods of my faction including the owner: "STOP DYING!"
Us: "We arent even fighting back!"
Them: "After you die you have to sit in the graveyard with your thumb up your ass until they decide to leave. You cant even move." (This is what they actually said.)
Us: we dont until they start shooting arrows at us then we panic.
Thats how it was. We would stand still and then the mod doodlord would shoot an arrow at someone and all hell would break loose. It was just so infuriating.
a game I made friends in and now I will never be able to talk to them again.
Oh, there is also the 20+ $ I spent there to support the server I thought was good. v_v

It is obvious from your post the reason you were griefed is the entertainment value that would come from it. Look, it is not fun for someone unless they get a good reaction out of you. So next time, and there will be a next time if you continue to act this way, try not reacting. Be calm and mature, log off and do something else if you need to. Quietly get some evidence (it's hard to believe a rage story) and then make a calm request with said evidence.
I would bet a lot of money you were whiney, acted entitled because of your donation, and was so annoying the mods ignored you. Which was probably absolutely thrilling for said griefer.
I experienced a server shutdown on greysoul.us which made my stuff duped...
I tought telling the admin why I had now 64 cubes of diamond.. thinking of him as a friend.
I donated too and I was not hacking and playing by the rules too.
He told me to give the dupe back... while I know everybody got duped, I was lucky enough to have my diamonds on me, accidentally.. (nobody talked about the dupe but we all know how it goes.. inv change for EVERYBODY... AND I was transferring all my ore... gold iron diamond coal... was like an insane inventory).
I refused giving them back telling it's not my issue if the owner restart server before everybody logs out & without informing people. As a zealous owner server admin Olat went to me and killed me. I told him he did a powertrip and he banned me
I offered excuses and he gave me back some of my stuff. some. anyways,
Then, Olat started building colosseum outta dirt, instachange it into smoothstone, instead of using the merchant guild to trade smooth.
when he told us he had too many diamonds and would restart map, due to stripmine I tought of him as a greedy admin, abusing power, instead of playing by the ''Player Rules'' he developed.
Thats when I left, giving all my stuff to other faction.
I felt like 1 day is 1 rule, the next day, Lord Olat changed the rule, the 3rd day the rule is changed again.
Anyways, I'm not telling you to not join the server, maybe you'll think of it as a good server, thats your opinion, I'm just telling what I experienced, next time I'll keep my mouth shut when admins screw up
and I'll never donate again.
Heres the message I sent him after leaving.

Short answer:
Diamonds,
Long answer:
Habitually I'm not that guy who have the patience for a wipe, I can handle it, but I'm more the kind of people who is annoyed by changed algorythm and stripmining ban, I was a Vanilla Player with /LWC on some empty servers, or not but laggy, then I suffered 1 time from wipe, this pissed me off, thats why I tought about the server at 1st, Faction and guild thru liberty! then it was 8 GB RAM... OMFG NICE SERVER NO LAG, will stick to it... but then it evolves to:
It doesnt allow me to be the player I use to be, as I said I want liberty to stripmine, even if it's once a week/month, opposing way to the current cities, not from castle but in a 10 min walk area with signs for the way to do it, or ban will follow, according to free market project, which is: there is no ruined economy, just that it needs more projects ingame to go on, more wars, more selling from ressources owner, so rupees would've been distributed again n again,
Example:
you dont want so much diamonds and wanna do public builds with people devoted? Sell your diamonds to merchants so they will need to gather stuff for the (rupees or diamonds) you have, the one you want. Ideas are great, minecraft is '' do other stuff while'' waiting for them to take form, and with this system, which is flawless, the shortcut is Hiring. 350 coal + cobble = softstone
Not instachange a colosseum outta dirt gotten from spawned diamonds shovels into magical softstone.
Peace bro, youre a talented, teamplayer / admin with a great server, just not my type.
and it did evolved too fast for what I was able to handle,
get the stuff you want and give it to any who wants it, or not, this your world.
Just a cool tip which can lead into trouble with diamond shrink, don't kill ppl for server issues. wasnt my fault and, I prefer to be honest instead of having this 60 diamond secret, yea, that pissed me off, since I told ya I'd do my best 4 the guild I was managing (Merchant Guild).
Nice thing you wait everyone to log off now.. but be careful theres the risk of leaving nexto a chest, wait 10 sec log back get diamond in inventory and then, get kicked from your innocent shutdown... I didn't did it, realised it when I was pissed tho.
But, the number of time you ask reboot, for many updates-test and stuff, dont be surprised if people find how to turn this to their avantage.
So let us clear a little something up and I'm not here to flame any one or stir the pot. If you lovely people don't wanna join my server then don't. The truth of the matter is that everytime Gathies got attacked and or died or had anything negative happen to him he would scream HACKS.
Its a known bug that players go invis and you are forced to relog to see them. Yet the momment he died and didnt know how, "THIS PLAYER IS USING AN INVISIBLE SKIN OLAT!!!" He opened a petition and then a moderator closed it out and told him to fix it just relog. He blamed the Moderator for just using his petition to warn that player and then deleted it with out doing anything.
Another incident is that Gathies gets attacked by a bow because he just runs in a straight line, and then he is like OMG Arrows knock back needs nerf. 5 different people on our server are like, umm learn 2 strafe or dodge and hide... Hes like no its soo gay omg this is dumb guys so horrible I hate this. I told him I agreed that arrow Spam + knockback needs a nerf but his reasoning of, Oh im getting my ass kicked so NERF ARROWS was retarded.
These are just many of the of whiny incidents from Gathies complaining everytime he got his ass kicked. Its a PVP server learn 2 PVP and stop your bitching. Simple enough.
About your Donation, its a donation. I EVEN WARNED YOU to wait. I said "DO NOT DONATE UNTIL YOUVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE" I warn all players of that because of this reason alone. I give every one fair chance, and even have let people I banned back into the server if they apologize for the issue and we have a talk on why they were banned. SOPHorrific you were one of those. YOu even LOGGED onto vent Today asking to hang out and give us a tour..
Heres the pic of SOP Asking for a tour from earlier today.
@SOP:
You got duped items because you were AFK during a restart... I warned every player then tried to get a hold of you. Didnt work so I did a restart. You then told me you had dupped items. I asked for them back and you refused. I asked multiple times. Ask Doodlord or Pattelatte. You refused. I said if you dont give them back im taking it back the hard way. You said NO. So I just /slayed you and you lost them all. You then proceeded to ***** me out and tell me I was power tripping and it wasnt your fault. Well good sir when you argue with an admin and try to keep duped items. It is your problem. I dealt with it... You got banned and begged to be let back on. I can screen shot those as well..
I let you back on. The SAME day you got back onto the server you donated ANOTHER $25...
Then I started talking about dissallowing strip mining and or a possible server wipe when we get enough players for Towny and other POSSIBLE changes. and You leave because you dont like change. Not my fault you took off there buddy.
No one griefed Gathies. He was stalked and killed and got pissy every time. SOPHorrific just doesnt make sense and was a kind person but didnt wanna give up Duped items? Cmon... how dumb is that.
Think of us what you will. I give every one a fair shot, strict but fair rules. And I even give you a second chance if your deserving of one.
So to those of you who read this I hope I have defended my server well enough. If not, then Good luck finding another server. If I have, come take a look at Greysoul and I will show you these people flaming are like disgruntled employees. Upset about getting fired and looking for revenge.
A few days ago I started playing on it and I decided it was pretty cool, everyone was nice at first and everything went well.

I'm still trying to get my bearings and he has been on the server for a while so he already has everything.

I turn to run into a house and he kills me with his diamond sword. Over and over this happens.
*We take hacking and griefing very seriously. If a petition is submitted we research and ban as needed. An accusation does not automatically equal a ban.
The mods just disregarded my complaints and told me to shut up and it's part of the game and that I didn't have any proof because they never saw it.
*The mods researched your complaint and found the claim to be invalid. You were told to stop complaing/accusing in chat.
The guy seriously griefed me every time I was online, no one would help so I couldn't escape because he could use the bounty system to locate me and then come kill me when I was trying to mine or anything else. The mods are very hypocritical and unprofessional, they will not stop you from being spawn camped.
*Again, welcome to pvp. We have many rules in place to prevent griefing, one of those rules being "if you step out of a graveyard you are free game". This claim was also researched and appropriate actions were taken against all parties involved.
Donaters do not receive almost any of the benefits it describes on the website. Most of the players are alright, it's just 1-2 moderators that want to go about their own business and will tell you to shut up whenever you try to talk to anyone. The petition system is largely ignored. I tried it, trust me. My tickets got closed almost instantly and because I was new none of the decent mods would listen.
*If you did not receive a donor benefit, it is on you to request it.
*The petition system is checked daily by each moderator. If a mod cannot resolve an issue, it is forwarded to the admin.
I was atleast 1,000+ blocks away from any city digging a base with a guy that came with me because of a spider spawner I found so we could level excavating away from the city so we wouldn't make a mess for other people to see and we didn't want to make the area we actually used ugly.

Well he does. So I get upset, I'm in vent and I try to tell them that he is exploiting the bounty system to grief me.
*Again, welcome to pvp.
*The bounty system was not exploited. But, because of your valid complaints we increased the price of a bounty significantly to prevent players from placing low bounties to obtain locations.
As often as he does it, it can't be considered PvP because I was at 0 power, far away from the base, with no valuables. He kills us both because we're both pretty new and we don't even have arrows for our bows yet (why we needed the gravel we were excavating as well.) He comes in OVER our giant wall, there are no holes in this wall because we patched it up and made it high, we're inside a giant circle and he did not burrow in or make a door.
*He used a bucket of water to scale the wall. It's very common on this server and is not against the rules.
I was running around trying to get out and away from him but he just spammed me with arrows and I could not find his route in. I've seen him flying/speed hacking before but no one would believe me no matter what. They either didn't care or like it. The mods go around with god mode on very often killing new players and players that have barely gotten their stuff together.
*As stated before, we take hacking/griefing complaints very seriously.
*Moderators do use god mode when necessary. But seriously dude, /facepalm.
They will pretend to be nice at first, but once you get settled in they will grief you and treat you like garbage. I played by the rules and did my best, but they let this hacker repeatedly kill me by exploiting the bounty system and speed/fly hacking.
*Sigh. See what we have to deal with people?
I tried my best to get them to pay attention but they really only care about themselves and the veteran players. The guy that griefed me's ingame name is 'anamericandude'. So please watch out for him as well if he attempts to join your server. Thank you.
*We did pay attention. And then we stopped listening to your non-stop stream of complaints, accusations, and whining.
Tl:Dr Don't join, they are a cliche driven hypocritical posse of ignorance and abuse. You wont be helped, not after your first day. If a hacker or someone targets you to grief, they don't give a **** unless it interferes with their gameplay.
*I'm sorry, but this is drivel. I know Olat and I spend way more than half our time online dealing with server issues. I love my server and I want it to be grief free, and I'm certain the majority of players are satisfied with the work of their moderators and the server itself. You were a drain on the server and were removed.
I would bet a lot of money you were whiney, acted entitled because of your donation, and was so annoying the mods ignored you. Which was probably absolutely thrilling for said griefer.
He wasnt even griefed. We have a bounty system that allows you to get a rounded estimate of player coords and some one had a bounty on Gathies head. Enemy player accepted, tracked down, and collected the bounty. Simple PVP. Even in my Donation link I tell people IF YOU DONATE you are NOT above my rules and I will ban you for violating them.
About the wall thing.. We use Water Buckets to scale walls on our server. Swimming up a wall with a Water Bucket is easy and thats how we invade people's bases. Some one shoulda built a roof IMO....
As Olat has clarified, the so called "invisible skin" that Gathies accused me of is a glitch, not a hack. You have no proof of me hacking (and I haven't) and ontop of that Greysoul has the "No Cheat" plugin installed that disallows speed hacks and or flying. So doing so is impossible or, at the least, improbable. That's why the moderators found it hard to believe you; you supplied no solid proof. I dont appreciate the fact that you told everyone my IGN, since none of it was true. I really would appreciate you retracting these negatory statements about me.
Now, regarding the bounty "greifing"; first off, its not griefing, it's PvP. Secondly, if you knew that I took your bounty, which you did, why would you stay out in the open? You should've retreated back to a more populated area, instead of wandering out by yourself. Not to even mention that you can't even accept your own bounty.
In conclusion, as the post above me have stated, no one was hacking, you were whining, its PVP deal with it.
Man, when I first read this forum, I felt sorry for OP. I am so glad that the real story came to light, without it I would continue to think perfectly fine people were assholes.

I give every one fair chance, and even have let people I banned back into the server if they apologize for the issue and we have a talk on why they were banned. SOPHorrific you were one of those. YOu even LOGGED onto vent Today asking to hang out and give us a tour..
Heres the pic of SOP Asking for a tour from earlier today.
@SOP:
You got duped items because you were AFK during a restart... I warned every player then tried to get a hold of you. Didnt work so I did a restart. You then told me you had dupped items. I asked for them back and you refused. I asked multiple times. Ask Doodlord or Pattelatte. You refused. I said if you dont give them back im taking it back the hard way. You said NO. So I just /slayed you and you lost them all. You then proceeded to ***** me out and tell me I was power tripping and it wasnt your fault. Well good sir when you argue with an admin and try to keep duped items. It is your problem. I dealt with it... You got banned and begged to be let back on. I can screen shot those as well..
I let you back on. The SAME day you got back onto the server you donated ANOTHER $25...
Then I started talking about dissallowing strip mining and or a possible server wipe when we get enough players for Towny and other POSSIBLE changes. and You leave because you dont like change. Not my fault you took off there buddy.
No one griefed Gathies. He was stalked and killed and got pissy every time. SOPHorrific just doesnt make sense and was a kind person but didnt wanna give up Duped items? Cmon... how dumb is that.
Think of us what you will. I give every one a fair shot, strict but fair rules. And I even give you a second chance if your deserving of one.
So to those of you who read this I hope I have defended my server well enough. If not, then Good luck finding another server. If I have, come take a look at Greysoul and I will show you these people flaming are like disgruntled employees. Upset about getting fired and looking for revenge.
*Welcome to Greysoul.
I'm still trying to get my bearings and he has been on the server for a while so he already has everything. I try to run when he is far away and he speed hacks over to me (I had typed as he was coming to me from far away and it showed up without any lag, so I know he was far away and it wasn't just lag.) I turn to run into a house and he kills me with his diamond sword. Over and over this happens.
*We take hacking and griefing very seriously. If a petition is submitted we research and ban as needed. An accusation does not automatically equal a ban.
The mods just disregarded my complaints and told me to shut up and it's part of the game and that I didn't have any proof because they never saw it.
*The mods researched your complaint and found the claim to be invalid. You were told to stop complaing/accusing in chat.
The guy seriously griefed me every time I was online, no one would help so I couldn't escape because he could use the bounty system to locate me and then come kill me when I was trying to mine or anything else. The mods are very hypocritical and unprofessional, they will not stop you from being spawn camped.
*Again, welcome to pvp. We have many rules in place to prevent griefing, one of those rules being "if you step out of a graveyard you are free game". This claim was also researched and appropriate actions were taken against all parties involved.
Donaters do not receive almost any of the benefits it describes on the website. Most of the players are alright, it's just 1-2 moderators that want to go about their own business and will tell you to shut up whenever you try to talk to anyone. The petition system is largely ignored. I tried it, trust me. My tickets got closed almost instantly and because I was new none of the decent mods would listen.
*If you did not receive a donor benefit, it is on you to request it.
*The petition system is checked daily by each moderator. If a mod cannot resolve an issue, it is forwarded to the admin.
I was atleast 1,000+ blocks away from any city digging a base with a guy that came with me because of a spider spawner I found so we could level excavating away from the city so we wouldn't make a mess for other people to see and we didn't want to make the area we actually used ugly.
This guy logs on and of course he puts a new bounty on my head. I thought it was safe because we were a very good distance from town and who would walk for 20-30 minutes just to come kill someone? Well he does. So I get upset, I'm in vent and I try to tell them that he is exploiting the bounty system to grief me.
*Again, welcome to pvp.
*The bounty system was not exploited. But, because of your valid complaints we increased the price of a bounty significantly to prevent players from placing low bounties to obtain locations.
As often as he does it, it can't be considered PvP because I was at 0 power, far away from the base, with no valuables. He kills us both because we're both pretty new and we don't even have arrows for our bows yet (why we needed the gravel we were excavating as well.) He comes in OVER our giant wall, there are no holes in this wall because we patched it up and made it high, we're inside a giant circle and he did not burrow in or make a door.
*He used a bucket of water to scale the wall. It's very common on this server and is not against the rules.
I was running around trying to get out and away from him but he just spammed me with arrows and I could not find his route in. I've seen him flying/speed hacking before but no one would believe me no matter what. They either didn't care or like it. The mods go around with god mode on very often killing new players and players that have barely gotten their stuff together.
*As stated before, we take hacking/griefing complaints very seriously.
*Moderators do use god mode when necessary. But seriously dude, /facepalm.
They will pretend to be nice at first, but once you get settled in they will grief you and treat you like garbage. I played by the rules and did my best, but they let this hacker repeatedly kill me by exploiting the bounty system and speed/fly hacking.
*Sigh. See what we have to deal with people?
I tried my best to get them to pay attention but they really only care about themselves and the veteran players. The guy that griefed me's ingame name is 'anamericandude'. So please watch out for him as well if he attempts to join your server. Thank you.
*We did pay attention. And then we stopped listening to your non-stop stream of complaints, accusations, and whining.
Tl:Dr Don't join, they are a cliche driven hypocritical posse of ignorance and abuse. You wont be helped, not after your first day. If a hacker or someone targets you to grief, they don't give a **** unless it interferes with their gameplay.
*I'm sorry, but this is drivel. I know Olat and I spend way more than half our time online dealing with server issues. I love my server and I want it to be grief free, and I'm certain the majority of players are satisfied with the work of their moderators and the server itself. You were a drain on the server and were removed.
He wasnt even griefed. We have a bounty system that allows you to get a rounded estimate of player coords and some one had a bounty on Gathies head. Enemy player accepted, tracked down, and collected the bounty. Simple PVP. Even in my Donation link I tell people IF YOU DONATE you are NOT above my rules and I will ban you for violating them.
About the wall thing.. We use Water Buckets to scale walls on our server. Swimming up a wall with a Water Bucket is easy and thats how we invade people's bases. Some one shoulda built a roof IMO....
All right everyone, if we don't buy Lamborghinis for one day, the price will go way down and then we can all afford one. It's Economics!
Now, regarding the bounty "greifing"; first off, its not griefing, it's PvP. Secondly, if you knew that I took your bounty, which you did, why would you stay out in the open? You should've retreated back to a more populated area, instead of wandering out by yourself. Not to even mention that you can't even accept your own bounty.
In conclusion, as the post above me have stated, no one was hacking, you were whining, its PVP deal with it.
