You keep coming back to this idea that somehow I need to change who I am or how I run my server just to keep people happy. That’s not how this works. I don’t, and I won’t. From day one Thee Medieval has been crystal clear about what it is a blunt, unfiltered, no hand-holding server. This has been written in the Discord as well as written in the ads and talked about openly in the server. Nobody got tricked. If people joined saw it wasn’t for them and then left then that’s just how it goes. This is a server built around blunt honesty complete free speech and a refusal to coddle people. Not every community is for everyone and mine was never meant to be. You say you’re just “warning” people, but let’s be honest you clipped screenshots, ignored the rest of the context, and tried to spin it to make me and the server look bad. That’s not warning that’s discrediting. On the lag and “mod bloat” thing I have already dropped a pile of mods people asked me to take out. The server still runs the way I set it up to run. If some people with strong PCs still see issues, that doesn’t automatically mean the whole thing is broken. It’s Minecraft-style modding there’s always tradeoffs. I put together the tools and the world people decide if they want to be a part of it or not. And about me being “toxic” or “insulting”. I talk blunt. I don’t sugarcoat. That doesn’t mean I’m out hunting people to bully. If someone wants to get offended because I don’t soften my words that’s their choice. It’s not on me or the community. So no, I’m not changing myself or the way I run things just because you don’t like it. Thee Medieval is what it says it is, and it’s not meant for everyone. That’s by design. I will never change to fit the expectations of you or any other. My house. My rules. My standards. My way. This is the last I'll say on the matter.

"What false information have I posted?" Posting photos without showing everything that was said in an attempt to make both me and my server look bad. You hid your profile because you're avoiding direct confrontation over a post you created in an attempt to falsely discredit my server. For the record, I meant to say 2 months. Not 3. But further to the point. A large abundance of people who join my server have made it clear they run on low end pcs or even laptops. Therefor it is not my servers fault nor my own that people experience lag. If I could properly upload images here I'd show you actual load on the server but the max total size of the files must be only 10.32kb which is ridiculous. Now I'm not even remotely confused. You came here obviously to discredit my server. Whilst completely ignoring it's extremely clear standards and guidelines. Keep comparing someone you don't agree with to a child throwing a temper tantrum. Let's be clear on this. I refer to anyone who actively tries to discredit my server without understanding it's obvious standards and guidelines a child. I refer to anyone who hides within my server in an attempt to (what I presume) gather information to assist in furthering your points. "But let’s be clear our words have never come with the intent to harm. We don’t target, we don’t bully, and we don’t tear others down for sport." Correct. We don't do any of that FOR SPORT. I however do openly do that to anyone who has deserved it and brought it upon themselves. For reasons such as Bias Unjust actions False discrediting Actions made to harm my server or it's reputation Insults made against my servers members. Etc etc. I will proudly and happily target/bully/tear down others should they deserve it and have it coming. Now again I state once more. What my server is and what it's guidelines are, and what it's standards are have ALWAYS been perfectly clear. Which can be proven by looking both within the server and within the servers advertisment on the main VS discord. You don't like what is said or done by me or some others within my server and that's entirely fine. But understand the servers history and what we stand for before trying to discredit it. As what you're doing isn't "Warning" people about what they can find here. It's perfectly clear what people can find within my server and what to expect. As it I repeat myself again has been made ENTIRELY clear.

This was also posted in the servers advertisement and even within the discord itself. If this isn't clear enough for you then I don't know what it. Thee Medieval is not just a name it’s a philosophy. A digital stronghold forged by and for adult gamers who stand on the pillars of authenticity, resilience, and raw, unfiltered conversation. We don’t exist to follow trends or cater to emotional fragility. We exist to carve out a space where truth is valued more than comfort, and where strength of mind is the sharpest weapon you can wield. We've said things that some might wrong, offensive, or immoral. We’ve joked. We’ve laughed. We’ve spoken our minds without a filter and without asking for permission. That’s who we are and we don’t apologize for it. But let’s be clear our words have never come with the intent to harm. We don’t target, we don’t bully, and we don’t tear others down for sport. What we do is speak freely sometimes recklessly, sometimes bluntly, but always authentically. If, at any point, that offends you or if it stirs up pain or discomfort that reaction is yours to own. That pain lives in your interpretation, not in our intent. If you choose to be hurt by words never aimed to harm, that’s not a burden we carry. That’s a burden you’ve chosen to bear. We're not responsible for anyone's inability to separate jokes from attacks, banter from bullying, or blunt honesty from cruelty. In a world increasingly ruled by emotional fragility, Thee Medieval is a bastion of accountability, not victimhood. We believe in freedom and that includes the freedom to be offended. But we don’t bend because someone else broke. Freedom of Speech is Sacred – In our halls, your voice is your own. Speak boldly, think critically, and don’t be afraid to clash swords in debate. We believe the free exchange of ideas is the bedrock of growth — not censorship. Mental Fortitude is a Must – This community doesn’t break under pressure, and it doesn’t bend for every passing mood. Thick skin isn’t optional — it’s part of the armor. Emotions are human, but here, we expect you to own yours, not offload them onto others. We’re Not Here to Babysit – This isn’t a support group, a therapy session, or a sensitivity seminar. We don’t hand out tissues, we hand out truth. If you’re looking for validation over realism, there are other places for that. Fun is the Mission, Realness is the Method – We game to escape, to compete, to conquer but above all, to have fun. That fun doesn't come from sugarcoating reality or walking on eggshells it comes from being around people who are genuine, strong-willed, and fully themselves. What You’ll Find in Thee Medieval: Laughter that’s loud, crude, and unapologetically real Conversations that challenge you, not coddle you A community where respect is earned, not assumed An environment where gaming is about passion, not politics Camaraderie forged in fire, not feelings What You Won’t Find Here: Censorship disguised as “safety” Emotional micromanagement Participation trophies Thin-skinned entitlement Fake personas and forced politeness If you crave a space where you don’t have to pretend, where people speak their minds without fear, and where the only requirement is strength of character — welcome home. This is Thee Medieval. Not for everyone. And that’s exactly the point.

First off, It was made incredibly and abundantly clear. It is not my job to spell it out for you time and time again. Secondly, Now posting false information and attempting to discredit me and my server shows malice. Thirdly, The fact you hide who you are also shows your sole intent is lurk and spy and use it to help better your case. Fourth, 247 mentions of lag in an almost 3 month time span doesn't really compute to an overall basis. I take everything you mention here as a temper tantrum because it's how it looks. You joined a server that had ENTIRELY clear rules and standards and yet you complain about it here and there. I'm a grown man, I say and do as I please regardless of who I am in front of or around. It is not my job to halt myself, pause, or rethink how I choose to act or what I choose to say just because people lack the ability to ignore something they choose to make a problem out of. And "the great purge" I acommidated to the very request of the mods the community asked to remove. Including ones I personally had wished to keep. In the image below you can see how the server performs even AFTER I downgraded it back to 30gb. So again everything you say will be taken as a child throwing a fit over something he himself doesn't like instead of choosing to ignore it and move foward.

Oh and to further add onto the "mod bloat" accusation. 90% of the servers mods were added At the request of the player base.

So before you attempt to discredit me or my server let's go ahead and get something abundantly clear. You intentionally left out a major part of what I said when you posted these screenshots, But no worry I have the full screenshot here. Now, Onto the matter at hand. First off, the servers performance is just fine for people with more than 16gb of ram. The server runs just fine. I can even show you the servers active functioning scales, ranging from the CPU, Network, Ram and disc usage. But you guys even requested I removed some mods, I listened and I had removed 20 mods at the request of the player base. Secondly, It is explicitly stated in my server that freedom of speech is entirely allowed to the fullest and utmost extent. This means myself along with whomever else can say whatever it is they please in any given channel within the discord. Demanding or expecting myself to isolate the things I say/do within my own server to a specific channel or just not say it at all is absolutely ridiculous. I pinged maybe 4-5 times a day. 9 times out of 10 they were server related. The rare 10th time would be me messing about and saying nonsense. You guys chose to focus more on complaining about what I say and do within my own server instead of playing the game. I've made it clear in both the server and the discords advertisment that no ones feelings/emotions will be babied, baby sat, coddled or focused on. It is not my job to remind of you of this every time something is said or done that you disagree with. Thirdly, I personally didn't dox anyone. It was a member within the community that simply googled searched a moderator and found the dudes twitter and posted it in the discord. So he posted public information that anyone with google could access into the discord. Finally, My server is not built for the weak minded, easily offended, self victimizing culture that everyone else is so used to. This was made INCREDIBLY clear both in the server and it's actual discord advertisement. Don't walk into someone elses how and expect/ask or even demand that they change for the betterment of your own personal problems.

“Thyros lyris oth murqir-sorynn, Velthurion Vrathûn-Druin oth ryloth sorynn oth lyris-fael oth lythra-ith. Vrathûn oth ryloth, oth lyris velthûn. ”During the High Age, the Prime Druid Velthurion was known far and wide by every beast and race. He was lord of wisdom and high power. “Sorynn oth fael-murqir tharn oth lyris-kelth — tirnoth oth tharn-zael oth lyris-valoth, oth murqir-nyth oth fel-draem rynoth. ”One day when there was rumbling in the deep earth, portals opened on the surface of mountains and valleys where foul, dream-dark things emerged. “Thyril-oth faen valoth — oth tharn-drul velthûn oth tharn-murqir !”Civilizations fell — and thousands perished in power and death! “Velthurion tir-oth Āthrylith tharn oth valith-sael virith. Tir-oth velthûn oth lyris-druith, oth draem-god oth vyr-velthûn. ”Velthurion forged a tower in a deep green valley. There he worked with divine druidic power, with the magic of the gods. “Arilir oth draem-nyth, oth tharn-velthûn zahrvelth oth lyris-lythra! ”He attempted to weave dream-chains to summon thunder and lightning! “Murqir-oth vyr-zael arilir velthûn — oth lyris zahrvelth ith-form oth tharn-murqir! ”He crafted a spell so powerful that thunder could take form as a weapon of death! “Velthurion vrathûn-oth draem-murqir — oth vyr-storm velthûn tharn oth lyris-lythra. ”Velthurion summoned dark magic — a storm so violent and so powerful to shape his spells. “Lythra-God vrathûn-draem oth lyris velthûn! Murqir-oth drael-mortal oth vrathûn-god! ”The Lightning God grew furious! A mortal dared to grasp divine power! “Lythra-God tir-oth zahrvelth-kyn arilir Velthurion Druin! Zahrvelth-storm tharn-oth Tir Āthrylith! ”The Lightning God sent thunder-warriors to fight Velthurion the Druid! Lightning struck the Tower Divine! “Zahrvelth lyris tharn oth lyris-murqir — oth tharn-sael murqir-valith. ”Thunder roared with high death — and the valley itself shook in mortal fear. “Tharn-storm vyr-sorynn — Velthurion murqir oth lyris-zael. Tir-oth Āthrylith oth vyr-land murqir-drul oth tharn-vyr. ”When the storm cleared — Velthurion was no more. His tower stood over land burned dead and black.“ Thyril-oth draem-fael vrathûn: Velthurion murqir-zael oth vyr-draem. Oth murqir-zael, arilir-oth draem-spells tharn-velthûn. ”Legends say Velthurion’s death was not in vain. For in his death, he forged the dream-spells of power he sought. image.png

Our road so far!
