The server seems to have internet problems around 10-12 GMT on the weekends, I am looking into changing internet providers.

That's good to know that it came back online. Sorry for any inconveniences that the downtime may have caused.

Should we wipe our 7 days to die server called PVE, or start having monthly wipes on the first day of every month?

Yes, however the style of game play would be different than before.

The server has been wiped based on the recent poll results. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Furthermore, I am thinking about launching a creative server or something similar and i will use this previously saved world for that server. The settings and game play will be slightly different however, if your interested reply below with any suggestions that you would like me to add on such a server.

Maybe we should just start having maximum difficulty for zombies every weekend or something to act as a miniature server wipe to help keep things interesting.

I will make a decision to wipe or not sometime this Thursday (5/4/17), based on the result of this poll.

In my opinion there really isn't anything wrong with the server that I know of, however its starting to have fewer and fewer players as time goes on. I think a majority of players start to get bored with it after awhile especially while they are waiting on alpha 16. Having that said, maybe the server difficulty needs to be raised sometime soon.

The group is Red Hat Gamers and I also checked to see if you had joined and it says you have. It must of been a long time ago tho when you joined.

I have a steam group with 21 members setup already where players can join without approval, however there aren't any posts or discussions within the group. I really like the idea to allow admins to help run it and I agree that the group should be updated to include server rules etc. Thank you for this post.

Yes, doing that could lure in zombies and cause damage to those buildings, however zombies already spawn in prefab buildings without having a horde. So it is possible for damages to occur with a player living there as well as when someone is just passing by and seeking shelter or visiting.

Yes I appreciate having posts about the server status. I know this problem does occur every once in awhile, however if it starts to become more often, then I'm gonna have to come up with a better solution to fixing this, ie change to a different ISP, etc. Also thank you for posting about this issue.

I have decided to include military bases in the rules to help preserve them by not allowing them to be claimed. Regards.

The server may have had internet problems at that time or it also could have been during an automated server reboot, however it is currently online again and available for play. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Best regards.

Hello and welcome to the community.

If you go into Envul with the coordinates you can set up a custom command with "tele {entity-id} 123 456 789", and then /restoration or something. All rhg managers are able to add custom server teleports. Let me know if you need any additional help with setting that up.

I'm planning on launching multiple servers of 7 Days To Die, therefore we can host different servers with different mods, rules, etc, so I don't see it as much of a problem. However if we start modifying existing servers, then the chances of alienating those players are far greater than just starting a new and different server.

Their may be some possible disconnects within the next several hours where the server will disconnect everyone and then come back online shortly after. This is a continuation from last weeks upgrades where I will be setting up and installing additional servers. Best Regards.

Thank you for posting about this and welcome to the forums. I'm assuming that the problem has to do with our internet provider since in the past it used to drop out unexpectedly on a daily basis it seemed, however it hasn't done that for a very long time. If this starts to become a major problem again, then the only solution to fixing this would be to change our internet service provider to a more reliable one. Best Regards.

Hello and welcome to the community.

Hello and welcome. I'm thinking it has to do with connection problems such as the ping limit or possibly the servers internet itself. I will look into this further for you as well as exclude you from the ping limit, just to make sure that ping isn't the problem.

Servers will be going offline today for upgrades to the server and we will try to launch additional game servers thereafter. This process shouldn't take too long and I will post when it has finished. If you have any questions regarding this upgrade, let us know by replying below.

Server upgrades are complete and the server is back online again. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Regards.

Perhaps the forums have been offline for too long... The current rules at the moment that was last updated on 2/19/2017, doesn't say anything regarding claiming military bases, however since military bases hasn't been much of a problem until now, maybe its time we updated the rules to include military bases. Best Regards. The current rules can be found at http://www.redhatgamers.com/topic/10-server-rules-7-days-to-die/, and anything that has not been covered in the rules are allowed. These rules may also change at anytime with or without notice.

Servers are now going offline and will return soon.
