We are the cheaters of RFO.
We cheat for becoming better than average players.
We make our races powerful and rich.
But with great knowledge there comes a responsibility, and not many have realised this.
Here I see a bunch of small children, to whom a box of matches has been given. You can make a nice fire in your playground, enjoy it, and pray for adults not to see you play with fire. You can also find enjoyment in watching other children look at you with jealosy. And you can also set the whole playground on fire.
A different allegory can be made. I see a pack of wolves, who can feed on a flock of sheep for a long time, as long as they prey on few sheeps at a time.
Or they can reject all the common sense, and kill all the sheeps at a time (dooming themselves to starvation).
The worst is what happened on my server. I see so many people who use materials published here to not just have fun, but destroy the game. Every hour or two there is a crash of the server. Every 15 minutes you can spot someone not being attacked by mobs, speedhacking, or going under the terrain.
Most of the PBs are being 1-shot by random lowbie players with red siege kits, minutes after they respawn.
This picture of what is happening on the server where I play is not complete.
There is an atmosphere of an end of a game, and probably the administration now considers to close the server in sight of the circumstances.
I plead for YOUR common sense.
Please take responsibility to limit your cheating to some extent, so that you will not see the closing of your servers because of your actions.
