2 pointsHey guys, I've had a couple people having troubles with getting stuck at loading into the server after joining a civilian slot. Step 1: Join a civilian slot - Wait to see if you get stuck at the loading screen Step 2: Press escape Step 3: Change civilian slot, the closest slot available Step 4: Try to rejoin - It should work.... If it does not work. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3. That should work. Kirk.

1 pointAs of the 20th of March, an entirely new ruleset will be introduced to Altis Life. On this day, the old rule set will become completely void and the new rules will be in full swing. The new rules are virtually the same to the old rules. Just a lot shorter (1000-2000 words instead of 15,000) and less grey areas. The rules were rewritten and restructured with the hope of removing grey-areas, reducing the limits on role-play and making them a heck of a lot easier to read and understand. - S.G Staff

1 pointI've had a death adder in the past and it being one of the cheaper razer mice it did well but had a cheap feeling, idk if they have changed this or improved its quality but currently i have a naga and it serves me quite well for a variety of games, it has buttons on the side can be programmed too your liking (theres 12 of them). Its a good mouse for $100, i've also heard good things about corsair mice maybe try giving them a look if its strictly for fps games.

1 pointheres the short answer NO Heres the real response having 2 servers would split the playerbase and the game wouldnt be as fun for either server. we have talked bout modded I&A but have decided against it. why well i have stated. it would split the playerbase. private realism groups do what you want pretty good already. (as you know) i personally would like a modded I&A with TFR and RHS.

1 pointWhile minecraft seems like the easiest thing to do, I must disagree. It is something which requires a lot of thought. Going off and developing a Server is rather easy, but putting together all elements to make an enjoyable, lasting experience isn't. While you might be able to develop a masterpiece, without good execution, it's destined to fail. Working with the monetisation rule is quite simple, create a plugin just like a forum giveaway and X days it draws a winner - but only if they enter in game -, or through voting (X chance of getting it), or any way which gives all players a chance of getting everything that you would if you donated (i.e. a .001 chance of getting something from mining stone, etc). Remember that cosmetics are fine, only things which impact gameplay fall under it. If you do go into donations, be prepared to be contacted by parents a lot about purchases they want refunded - because their credit card was taken by their kids... What a surprise. Some things to think about (kept small because I don't want another massive post) Survival/Sandbox/PvP ? Economy (one of the biggest ones)? What items? What plugins & commands? What features? Do you go for 1.8 PvP, or go for 1.9, 1.10 or 1.11? - Do you use a plugin for 1.8 PvP (Which may be very buggy) If you go for a sandbox, what players want is entities - they want to be able to use red-stone, use minecarts, have animals - all of which isn't too friendly on the server. Do you give them something like world edit - another feature people really enjoy, but isn't too friendly on the server either (yes, you can limit what they can do) If you go for something like hunger games (a gamemode), are you just making it for a quick session, or are you trying to make it enjoyable to play for hours (much harder)? Do you go with what has already been established (i.e. Factions, HungerGames etc.) or would you develop a new gamemode never thought of before? Do you go for one server, or more? How many to keep everything interesting with a playerbase? I am not here to discourage anything, just making sure everyone knows whats involved. (How do I know? 6 years of working on one server which has had its up and downs from 100-1000 on at a time, to 30-80 in its last stretches)
