Vintage Civ 1.0 History: Difference between revisions

 

 

For the first two days of its existence, Vintage Civ ran a test server as the admins added more plugins to the server and tested their stability in-game. Happy with their modlist, the official beta was launched on January 4, 2022, which the admins planned to run for 4-6 months or longer.

 

The first days of the server were marked by exploration and the foundation of the server's largest town so far: [[Pond Scum]]. Named after the ponds that attracted the founders to it for farming purposes, the town boasts an unofficial population of 10-15 residents (most of the server's early playerbase).<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/vintageciv/comments/rx9jjj/pond_scum_village_beginnings/</ref>Other early but smaller villages founded in the first week of the server include Veii (founded by the owner of the server himself) and the [[Hwillota|Shitshack Commune]].

 

*Discrepancies in moderation; Some mods/admins, like SouthernBloc and Pkeod, have been generally tolerant of neo-nazi and right-wing views and users in the discord,<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-Pkoed|sender=Pkoed|url=https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/958619281011134465|text=Tbh good, we're building a specific genre with a specific vision and we're not going to compromise that just for emotionally stunted people who refuse to play the game and shackle the people they don't like, that's the entire point|date=March 30, 2022|access-date=April 2, 2022|channel=general|server=Vintage Civ}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-SouthernBloc|sender=SouthernBloc|url=https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/927794000126152735/931252643727302666|text=[Meme image containing the n-word mocking anti-racist sentiment]|date=January 13, 2022|access-date=April 2, 2022|channel=shit-posts-aplenty|server=Vintage Civ}}</ref> but rules against harassment and hate speech have been implemented and enforced by other mods/admins, like SimpleBastard and [[KingOfTheMochas]]. This lead to the server being populated by far right-wing users who scared away a number of regular players and the right-wingers getting subsequently banned.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-Lima Bees|sender=Lima Bees|url=https://discord.com/channels/927062370352762941/931291079939096596/958579208840437770|text=A lot of people also don't want to associate with people who use hate speech.

Nevertheless, the admin team continues to work on a new website and a new in-house version of xSkills.
