Closing borders.

[Elijah 91]

Now that the server is back we have had some issues with the border checkpoints being closed without anyone manning them. I have been seeing this constantly throughout the last few days and when asking people why they have been closing them they have stated that it is no longer against the rules (specifically Conner Thomson). Did this change after the server re-opened or is it still against the rules to close borders without manning them? 

P.S this is directed to staff members so please don’t spam this post with complaints or random stuff. This is just meant to clarify the rule so everyone know if it changed or not.

1. If your gonna say my name spell it right, (you didn't get it even close). 2. It's not written in the rules. If you guys want it in the rules then please add it to them and don't bitch in-game about a rule that cannot be seen IN the rules.

I don't think it's ever been against the rules to keep the borders shut without someone manning them, you may be thinking of another server

It was a rule but it was overruled 2 weeks later

Let civs open the barriers because blufor shuts them all and you are forced to buy an air vehicle to travel.

Might just put some mines on the border e.e

Doesn't matter if it's against the rules, you still shouldn't just leave a border closed when it's not currently being manned. That's just kind of a dick thing to do.

Dick move or not it's not against

It should be added to the rules that you can't close them, I was doing diamond runs as a civ earlier today and they were all closed with no way for me to cross. Right now it's just used as a way for BLUFOR to avoid manning checkpoints, so they just shut them off and leave. They won't even come open them when civs are there, Ive had to ask OPFOR to open BLUFORs side cos no one would come.

We will consider adding this back the rules list. I would agree its unfair on everyone else if they are just closing it without manning it. Especially when they log off without opening.

Even if it's a rule a person can still close the border without anyone finding out. Just let civs raise and lower the barriers again

Id be more for letting indies have access. Then there is opportunity for more interaction with the four factions.

Yeah, let everyone open borders, doesnt matter if thats a civ or somebody else

 

Just like in real life, some weird appearing-from-nowhere concrete blocks doesnt require a special fingerprint to make them dissapear
