Managing a Realism Server in Path of Titans | Archaios Archipelago Realism 

Honestly it's great to sit back and watch. We spent a lot of time, effort and money on Archaios so seeing it come to life is wonderful!

We tend to have atleast one or two staff members observing most nights, while we are a little short staffed atm we still put the communities enjoyment above all else :)

@@vercitorix1 that's wonderful, i come from a lot of semi-realism servers, and have been looking for a true realism server to join. i'll definitely be looking into this one!

It's certainly something I can look at for sure!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I thought it'd be nice to see the things that we do behind the scenes.

I appreciate that! It's took a lot of work from the team and community to get the server to where it is so its nice to see people enjoying it or wanting to check it out!

Thank you! There is an episode 2 as well!

@@vercitorix1 I'm checking them out now! and I will take a peek at the server :)

It really is when trying to transverse it

@vercitorix1 without a doubt..just seeing you go from area to area really shows the details they devs have put it and how wide it is

Archaios' player base is very big on immersion which makes things much easier for me! We are tracking most of the mods being made and we never turn a mod down without testing it thoroughly. If it matches our requirements it'll make it in to the server. Yep, our server admins do this quite often. We tend to have a mix of staff playing and staff observing.

If a staff member is suspected of corruption by a community member they can do a lead or owner ticket. Only upper staff can see it and we will then go through evidence provided and do our own investigations. Once we feel confident enough that there is enough evidence we will then bring the staff member into a ticket explain what we've found and the accusation against them. They will be given the chance to explain their actions. Once this has been done, we will then go through the consequence process which, depending on the severity, may result in a strike, potential demotion or full removal from the staff team. We do have a standard that we have set for our staff that they can view at all times, if they fall outside of this standard they are pulled up about it. We speak to each staff member privately every month or so to ensure they are on track and happy within the staff team. Communication is key with the staff team and also with the community, it's the main thing we built archaios to have.

@@vercitorix1 Thx for the very informative reply! Its cool to learn about how organized y'all are and how serious you take the enjoyment of others!

A migration event is something we could do!

Me judge never 🤣🤣🤣

Password will be in the discord server :)

As in passworded? Probably to keep out KOS folk. Although Archaios isn't password protected atm as a trust thing with the community and tbh it's working well.

On the contrary, it actually is pretty fun! Seeing something you've been working on grow slowly over time is incredibly satisfying. Especially when your population enjoys the server as much as you do.

This was during a quiet moment, later that night we had more on but I'd already logged for the night unfortunately.

It’s because most people only play “Semi-Realism”, like Islander or Isla Nycta. Unfortunately I’ve seen full realism servers not getting much attention.

It takes time to build a following when you’re starting a new realism server. WWD didn’t just start with a huge community, it was built over time. PT:Realism got their following from being associated with the Primordial Tyrants modding team and community who had a big following already. It’s not easy to start a realism server from scratch and I wish Verc the best.

Thats fine, you're entitled to your opinion but think of the bigger picture. With a reduced map size the player will receive more interactions than if we used the full map, as the playerbase expands so does the map, it used to be a lot smaller than it currently is. In terms of apexs not being playable, this is to prevent KOS players abusing our server. It also ensures that you've had atleast a month on the server to get familiar with the ruleset and show you are responsible enough to handle an apex without rulebreaking. Its also to keep the apex population in balance with the rest of the server. Once you have spent a month on the server you can apply for apexes which, provided you have no infractions, you will likely be accepted for.

Yep!
