⚓ GREETINGS FROM THE HIGH COUNCIL ⚓
Hello to the Windrose Development Team and the wider community!
The High Council has officially set sail in Windrose. We are a massive, organized gaming community, and we are currently hosting 4 simultaneous, highly active servers with plans to spin up even more as our fleet continues to grow. We love what you are building here, and we are heavily invested in the long-term success of this game.
Because we are managing such a large player base across multiple servers, we want to offer some constructive feedback from a server host’s perspective.
We completely respect and understand that the core scope of Windrose is designed as a cooperative experience. However, a co-op focus should not limit server owners from having the basic administrative controls required to protect that cooperative environment from griefers and bad actors.
To help us protect our players, we are requesting native support for the following:
🛡️ In-Game Admin Controls & Ban Power: We currently lack a physical, in-game method to ban malicious players. When a griefer strikes, we are left without a direct way to remove them from the network.
📜 Improved Server Logs: The current server logs need significant expansion. We have had to develop our own proprietary software just to scan the logs and piece together who is responsible for offline griefing.
🚫 Native Solutions (No Mods): We want to be clear—we do not want to rely on third-party mods to manage our servers. We are asking for native, built-in admin tools directly from the developers.
There is only so much we can do externally (like forced password wipes) to protect our community. We want to keep expanding our server count and bringing more players to Windrose, but we need you to equip us with the tools to manage them effectively.
Thank you for your hard work on the game so far. We look forward to seeing how Windrose evolves, and we hope to see native server management tools on the roadmap soon!
