Semper

Small update to the exploit. I think we got their attention.
 

I'm not sure what your motivation is, or what happened to upset you specifically; but you pulled your sponsorship without notifying us or the playerbase.

Vilayer server went down while I was playing on it nearly 2 weeks ago and another server wasn't provided.

No servers = not sponsoring = no longer advertised.


I suggest you leave gracefully, our community is too positive and overly supportive to be lied to.

Adding safe zones is never the answer. Either whitelist the server (when private ones go up), ban trader-campers or just accept there are always idiots online and make it your mission to smash them in the gonads again & again. A real life harsh environment like this, you'd get some pricks doing exactly the same. Games are easier already then real life so stop whining for extra help and just take the flouride victims down.
 
Cars left in trader areas should never be safe. Auto-unlock at server restart.

Okay just so you are all clear I have no pride or shame and am not above begging and I really want a key so here are the reasons why I deserve one.
 
1: I recently lost my 1997 map of the stars for Los Angeles and need this mod to fill that void in my life.
 
2: I promised my brother in laws, second cousins, best friends, taxi drivers, dog groomers neighbor that I'd play this   mod before he left this planet. (he is not dying but hes not a very good driver so you never know)
 
3: I once saved a mother of four from certain peril. (that stupid cat still plays in the road?)
 
Reasons I think you need me to be a tester
 
1: I have nothing better to do. I live in North Pole, Alaska and winter is starting.
 
2: Im really good looking (according to my grandma and her friend Bernice so you know its true), and wouldn't a better looking player base help?
 
3: I have tested many many things, the brakes on my car, my boss's patience, the limit on my credit card and the effectiveness of pepto bismol.
 
I truly hope these reasons put me above the mark and you guys can see that you need me. I can provide character references if needed.

Came up with this little blurb while I was between classes.
 
Feel free to add to it.

Key begging will not get you a key. Also, asking for keys for your friends or can mates will not get them keys.

It's come to my attention from scrolling through this forum that I've also seen people complaining about their things not being saved.

People, this is an early, early, early alpha. Appreciate the hard work that has been done so far. Report actual bugs and give constructive criticism, as well as suggestions. Don't play thinking you'll be able to store a bunch of things. Test the game. That's why you are called testers.

Anyway, rant over.
Also, thank you devs and keep up the awesome work. I know you guys are working like 10 hours a day on this mod, and you're doing great.

As the title says, I just wanted to take a second to say THANKS to the people behind the scenes that do what they do and don't get a lot of recognition for their time and effort.
 
Without doing what you do, for the love of the game, none of us would have & enjoy Epoch.
