Araz4Story - a new era private server

Today I decided to share my opinion here. I'm not going to offend or accuse anyone as it's bad and makes no sense at all.

It's a quite impressive server for the first look. It's a pity that this server consists none of your work Konst. But it's nice that you do not hide it.
The server features are good though.
I bet I have seen this website design before. Phoenix4S - Is that it?

According to my belief, Fantasy4S is way more worse than araz, as they are so unprofessional. Araz looks professional, but I think it isn't really. Think about it. A single team member who's around 13 years old? No offense, but it doesn't sounds like a professional team.

I wish no 4Story server files had been ever published. Prehaps this game wouldn't be dying if noone had server files. Prehaps EG would be still running and it would be the only private server ever.
It is a shame that nowadays every 14 year old kid can have a 4story server. Let me note real quick that I'm not talking about Konst. I'm talking in general.
I think this server is going to end as others did. No private server has real future except P4S. I'm definitely not a P4S lover. In fact I have never ever played on that server.
By real future, I mean lots of players, exciting wars, whatever...
No, I am not discrediting my own server. As any server except P4S, it's never going to be like the official was. It's just impossible.

People are complaining about how bad 4Story became and how it has changed, but we were the ones who created private servers and stole players. We've forced Zemi & GF to make more updates and spoil this magnificent game.

Anyways Konst, good luck with your project.
Enjoy it as long as you can.


Edit:
I think it doesn't worth a repost so Im writing it down here.
I have never played on araz4story and my opinion above is not a player review, and I do not know specific things about that particular server and I am not able to judge as a player. You'd better test it out and make up your mind instead of judging by my post. I don't think araz is a bad server for players, but certainly different, and not in the good way according to my opinion and what I think about the owner.

The maintenance is finished. The Server is back online.

Update Log:
-A bug making it possible for night walkers to use a skill more than one time, has been fixed

We are thinking about adding a new, more balanced Honor System. Our current Idea of it was the following:
If you are in a Group and you make the last Hit, you get the whole amount of Honor & Points (48-56). All other group members will receive between 8-12 Points & Honor. It doesn't matter how many members are in the group, the Honor you receive stays the same.
What do you think about this Idea? Do you have any suggestions? Maybe a whole new Idea? Write it down below, we will read through every of your answers!

The Server is doing great! We already have over 500 active users, the PVP is great and the online player count is also really good. If you are still not convinced if you should play or not, check out some of the videos our players have made!

Update:

P4Story has again stolen some features from us and they started to hack on our Server. I don't know if you think this will somehow put any impact on us, but let it be said to you, this won't be left without any action. Prepare for a war P4Story :)

p4story 3 years and more - Araz yesterday

I tried your server only 15-20 minutes but I can say araz is a p4s based server.
Crypta, priest instant skills, mount colors etc.
I doubt their steal your ideas lol
Look the UR. Did they steal something to you? LOL

p4s released few days ago the guild skills but I didn't see this feature in araz server.
Don't forget this is elitepvpers and our main interests are hacks, cheats and bots

server down !

btw the server is awesome ! haters gonna hate

Araz is a P4Story based Server. You can tell that by..? Because we have new UI? lol

We dont have Crypta, that just confirms how stupid your arguements are. Priest instant skills, ok, but they stole Warrior update from us, so I guess its even :) Mount colors wasn't their idea, we had it too but they realised it earlier.

Wanna know why we didn't add it? Because it's shit. Why would you add it? People have been living without it for years, why add it? Elitepvpers isn't only for "hacks, cheats and bots". Have you ever checked elitepvpers outside this section? Also, this Section is for anything 4Story related, not only Hacks ;)


It's just funny how everything P4Story does is good, but if someone else does it it's bad. I will never understand the logic of those P4Story fanboys.

Thanks, but the Server isn't down.

Actually Konst's project sounds really good. This guy spend some time & money for this project and here we have some haters. Im not playing p4s or Araz4s but I appreciate his dedication for this project. P4S is a better server? Yeah maybe, they're working on this for some time, just think about this, if p4s has that much haters as other servers have, they're project wasn`t in this level now.
How did know this lots of haters from epvp Araz4S will not be a cool server? Stop flaming and let him continue his project.

I think you say $hit for every feature that you aren't able to do.
Why Araz? At this point eden is better.
A server with only pvp in ardir is really boring.

Ehm why you don't reply about mount colors? lol I saw this feature for the first time in p4s many months ago before november 2015

God damn why I am so honest? This post is just going to contribute to Araz's playerbase in a way. One more new post, more thread views, more clicks on his website and the magic happens: more players. I've just shared my opinion whatsoever...

Hurray! One week! Certainly it's a long time for a 4story private server, but stop being boastful. You're still missing years of presence and experience, and even knowledge. Remember, your friends have been working on your server, not you. Anyways it's fine, who cares about that?
All what you can do and actually doing is kinda managing the server, which is fine too.
Araz4S is a great server with great features.
But don't act like you have been here for years, and you know what you're doing. Let me tell you a secret, you don't! You're going to have problems without a real team. You're just messing it up all with that attitude.

And what about effects and skills, and the f2p 'u get (almost) everytihng 4 free' concept?
It sounds like a P4S base with boosted rates and more free stuff. Who cares anyways? Who said it's bad?

Quote:

Mount colors wasn't their idea, we had it too but they realised it earlier.

They've had before you. Learn to distinguish between jealousy and stealing! If you had had an idea in the past but you couldn't manage to carry it out and someone else had the same idea, and done it, he hadn't stolen anything.

Quote:

We worked together in the beginning.

Just out of curiosity, why did you left their team?

Quote:

Every single time I've been working with you, you've suprised me that you do not care about you players' will. It doesn't means nobody wants a particular thing on the server just because you do not like it.

It's not only for hacks, but I'm sure this kind of arguments are not welcome here.

I feel like it's somewhat true, but definitely not in the way you mean it is.
Just stop being so stuck-up.
You know, the main difference between P4S and your server is that they have years of presence, experience behind them. They have a professional team and fixed rules.
If I were a player, I would play on P4S instead of Araz as they are more known and more professional. Every new and good server struggles with this phenomenon. It's okay. Just live with it and watch it fade away, in case your server and players are not...

Quote:

This has been my favourite sentence ever! *irony*
I love when players tell me the server is down just because they have been disconnected for whatever reason. Aaaand? I guess it was just a connection error and thats it. It's normal, and okay if it's not so frequent. Log in back and the problem just got solved. Is it that hard?

Edits, again:

It certainly does. At least for now.

It's sad that the others' doesn't. But the thing is that a significant part of 4Story players are mainly kids (do not judge me, because of that. You know, if the cap doesn't fit, don't wear it!) who have no idea about respect.

If he were doing things in a much more fancy way, he wouldn't have to deal with that much haters.
I've never said it's a bad server, but it'll be bad if Konst continues being so stuck up and unprofessional.

-- Kind of an off topic, but interesting and related to araz's owner --

Imagine what could happen to all your data stored on araz4story's OVH machine ... There was a thread on epvp like a week ago with sort of 5.0 files and the database of a long time dead server that was mine: 'IO'. Konst had had released it and that's why you guys could download it. That database included passwords, IP addresses, tons of email addresess, and so on ... I'd rather give my password to P4S after all that.

Probably he had already changed his mind and won't spread araz databases after his server dies.
I would recommend to all of you guys who are still playing on private servers to change your passwords and save yourself a lot of hassle.
But that doesn't only applies to Araz. New private servers are dangerous when it comes down to data protection.

Im not boasting about it. I've just stated a fact since he couldn't. And who said that my "friends" have been working on the Server? You don't know anything about the Team, as much as any other guy here on epvp. You wanna tell me I haven't been here for years? I made alot of Servers since the Files were released. I've been here for quite some time.

Well of course, but at least we are trying to make a more innovative Server & concept than others. Its not just get equipment and do PvP.

It bothers me because people compare everything to P4Story even if it hasn't got any or at least really few similarities. What makes you think the Server is P4Story based? The Skills? If yes I can say that P4Story is Araz4Story based, because they got the Idea for buffing the Warrior from us.

I didn't say they stole it, but people say I stole it. I just wanted to make clear that I already had that idea before.

We haven't been a team. We have just been working on some features together.

I do care about players. Infact, I am a player (:o). And I've been playing for quite a long time. I know what people like (at least the majority). And you can see, before we work on something we first ask our community what they think about it (check Facebook).

If you would follow their GMs and Administrators abit (on Facebook as example) or see what they do what they do without people knowing (as example using AOE Hacks on the Server ;)), you would know how unprofessional they actually are. They just try to avoid communication between them and the players. If that makes someone professional.. well..

Could you explain what you mean by that?

You know why I did it. I regret it, but you know why I had to do this.

Maybe all good devs should start together a big project .
20 active private servers
15 buggy 3 empty 2 Borring.
comon guyz!

Right now there are the following:

4Story4Ever
4Story UR
Araz4Story
Fantasy4S - No real Developement Team
EV4Story - No real Developement Team

And the other Servers don't really get along with each other. So this is isn't possible. Also they'd have to share money. So I guess it's easier to just make an own Server and try to get all of the players.

________
There will be a maintenance in the night from the 4.4.2016 to 5.4.2016. This maintenance will last some hours. During this maintenance the Server will be upgraded in order to erase the lags at a high player count. No other changes will be made.

lol seems araz is making many epvp accounts here. aint that against the rules
