I've decided to take this page down. This server has been my home for over a year, but it is corrupt and the Admin has broken the camel's back as they say. I refuse to be a part of this server any longer, as a regular or as one of its moderators, and so I will depart and take my support with it. Whoever reads this, I urge you, the community in this server is decent with some talented builders, but the ones in power, and even some not in power but yet remain on the server as regulars, are scum. You have been warned.
As an example of this server's corruption:
There is a regular on the server named Zxp (formerly FlowFJ) who has broken every rule on the server, greifed multiple projects, filled up the chat with insults directed towards me and other people, and has been banned by all of the moderators (Even some former) on the server at least once, but the Admin (Fabianius) keeps letting him come back on the server and wreak havoc because they are friends. I have stood up to the Admin on this subject many times, risking my moderator status, but my words went unheeded and Zxp joins the server regularly to this day [10 AUG 2012]. As of my writing this, the server homepage even pokes fun at this fact in Zxp's profile.
I have left this server for good and burned every bridge I possibly could. If I could only ask one thing of whoever reads this, it's please spread my words and don't let this server go on. The Admin also plans to make a new server called "The Third Dawn". It will be run by the same people. Don't get suckered in.
P.S. As I hope you can tell by the way I write this in such a somber tone, I do not lie about what I speak of. I have been a member of this server from March 2011 and have diligently built my passion project on it since. I donated $25 to the server, and got moderator status rather quickly for being a pillar of the community. I leave this place now and have destroyed all of my work on it because I feel The Divine Crusade is undeserving of my hard work, and I refuse to let its now-abysmal community scavenge my art, and as they insult me and spread lies behind my back, I write this humbly, knowing that what I did was the correct action to take if I am to preserve my honor after being too cowardly to leave the only server I knew even though I was not treated with respect by my fellow members.
I tried to get a higher position called "Head Moderator" in the hopes that I could use my power to save the community, but there was something fundamentally wrong with what I was attempting. In the face of a corrupt Admin, a corrupt group of the Admin's friends, and a rotten community, there was no point in my attempt. I was a fool.
Big happenings going on in the server. Mtgcostello has his Builders Contest going on through Sunday of the coming week, and directly proceeding that, we will commence work on the Sky Sanctum of Valefore. That one will take lots of manpower and imaginative building, but it should sustain a healthy ambition amongst the players for some time. It will be a sight to see for sure when things get rolling.
I just love the server.
Mostly i love Blue and Danny.
They always like to mute me or put me into jail.
<3<3<3<3<3
And lets not forget our lovely admin, Fab.
Handsome ba***ard.
PS: I love you Yazu, merry me?
I wouldn't be merry with you even if you knew of a magical meadow where the blueberries are just begging to be picked.
Just as an update, Mtgcostello's contest is over and now construction on the Sky Sanctum of Valefore is beginning. Lots of progress has been made on the Underground Sanctum as well, and the place is quite a treat to behold. I'm an ambitious guy, and I've got dedicated and talented help. If you're mature and are a talented builder, feel free to ask if you can join in on the fun. I will require a test of sorts though, to prove yourself. Please have at least one impressive build before you ask.
Go ahead and check out progress if you ever have the time. Just /Warp Valefore Yazu13
That will lead you to the project site and a view of some of the most stunning feats of hard work and brilliant minds collaborating to breathe life into something truly impressive.
several projects in the works right now, including Lunulatas: Fortress of the Blue Ring and the Sky Sanctum of Valefore. always looking for talented builders, miners, and redstoners.great community and hierarchy!
Not going to say much but you have more than proved our point Yaz. You weren't treated with respect because you hadn't earned it, you assumed you deserved it. Your immature reaction to all of this has more than proved us all right - and you have done nothing but benefit the server in your passing.I'll be sure to look after Valefore in case you ever come back
It's the act itself that counts more. The fact that the server drove an honest, hardworking, moderator even, to the brink with its disrespect and its Admin's arbitrary morals leaves a far more powerful message that will speak long after I am gone and my work has been stolen and turned into a shrine unto the server's power games. You people turned what was a video game that I enjoyed so much with friends into something to be despised. I still love MC and continue to play it, and I am happier playing it now than I can ever remember on The Divine Crusade.
P.S. Whatever is done with my work (Valefore) is blood on your hands. To take another man's art, twist it, and call it your own is not only a travesty to the game, but heinous as a human being.
P.P.S. As for the news article on the homepage, I think it's rather cute how Fab talks about me and insults my way of life so brazenly when he claims to share a common military experience. I hope he reads this, because I want to tell him that he knows nothing of pride and honor, and I'm disappointed that he didn't learn about it during his 5 month-long boot camp. He isn't real military and it's disgraceful for him to act like he's hot s**t and insult another man's honor. I've been in for over a year now, and not only that, I signed up for it and still have 5 years to go before my contract is up. He's a brat who was forced into it and left that way of life the first chance he got without taking anything useful from it. I really did hope he would've changed in that amount of time, but all it gave him was a sense of entitlement and false status. Don't wear your country's pride on your shoulder then mock others who do as well, especially when they've made a much larger sacrifice than you have, it's despicable and low. Don't you ever insult me as a servicemember again.
