Electroely Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) The first two appeared several days ago, and they don't seem to be up all the time. I've only noticed the third today. Edited September 3, 2018 by Electroely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This is why Klei should re-use the gold server names they had from the ANR beta. I fear that these fake Klei official servers could cause some issues if people really believe these are real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarsin Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) There’s one server called “Rabbits and Bunnies” and another one called “Bunnies and Rabbits”. Edited September 3, 2018 by Alarsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I played on The First one. For me? Only the first name is convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to determine surely whether a "Klei Official" is truly a server hosted by Klei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a die-hard fan, yeah, that would be an easy tell to spot a fake. The problem is that more casual, or just less observant players won't notice that.

cezarica Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Paging @nome There should be a report server button or something somewhere.. I think I saw something but don't remember where. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be so sure about that. There are many, many Eastern European & Asian players who barely speak English at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhh2 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 yeah why are fake official servers a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an admin of a fake official server causes problems, then people will think it's Klei's fault. Even when it's not. I feel like a bad experience like this could easily cause new players to stop playing the game as a whole. Now this might not happen, but the fact of the matter is that impersonation like this will never lead to anything good. It'll only lead to trouble.

fimmatek Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It seems that Klei took off those servers. Or their hosts just decided to stop, idk. But I didn't see those fake "officials" in the last days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberry Shake Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 What would you have to gain from making this? I mean, you just spend time on something to get it taken down really, why not just make a normal server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been busy trying to get through notifications not to notice. I've suggested it in the past at least once already (no idea where it's at though). This isn't the first instance of fake "official" servers being brought up on the forums. The post about it here got a like from Nome, so it might be considered. At the very least, the idea was acknowledged by a dev, and that's good enough for me at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
