I wanted to ask you guys about the problems you had with the server and how you fixed them. Also, what's the story of your server? Not the lore, but the experiences you've had with it?
Here's the backstory behind this question:
A few weeks ago, one of my friends invited me to his gaming group. It was a medium sized group that had started playing on Roblox and played some Unturned from time to time. They hosted a port-foward sometimes, but it was private and they didn't do much on it. Also, out of its 45 members 40 were inactive. I saw something in it though, and I came up with some ideas to improve the server.
The day I joined, we were offered a free server. The main admin of the group had a friend and he offered to set up a server for us, for free. He took a long time to do it though, so I had plenty of time to think. They bounced around a lot, but in the end I got a grasp on the idea. Since the group started playing shooter games, I wanted to eventually make it like a downscaled Arma in Unturned, but that would only be a part of it. There would be 2 main factions- the Rebels (we still have yet to get a better name) and the Coalition. When people joined the server however, they would have to choose if they wanted to join either of them at all. We were planning to make it focused around milsim and rp, being mainly milsim for the factions and rp for the factionless. We were going to use a modified version of Russia for this, including some extra locations including a us base and no zombie spawns in where the rebel base would be (Keryev.) We would also use a few mods, for vehicles, weapons, clothing, building models and stuff for "Events" in which we'd have things like major events and minor events; For example, a major event would be the U.S deciding to try and salvage enough nuclear material from Silo 22 to make nuclear weapons. If they were deterred, i.e they did not load enough bombs into the truck the event would be stopped and the U.S could not use nukes. If they succeeded however, there would be more missions related to those nuclear weapons going in a kind of plotline. For a minor event however, it would be something small like a weapons cache or something similar. I decided to check r/unturnedservers to see if anyone else was already doing something similar to this, and I found an ad for your server. I'm worried people are going to say I copied you because of how similar these are. Thankfully, our servers have a few key differences, such as mine will be focused more on battles and stuff, and mine will also be using an edited version of russia and a few mods. I wanted to ask you about these things though, because this is my first time doing this kind of stuff and I don't really know how to handle a server.

I haven't been on this forum in a while and I just checked back now, and turns out we both got ideas which are waay more similar then they first were. Just going to put how I got my idea here so it's not all "pondfisher stole ideas": I played on Rain's Bootleg RP server and wondered how it would be if we combined the life rp part of that into this. We now have two sides of the map, one infected, one not, with the military and the rebels and the civilians have the choice to live a "safe" life under martial law or to do their own thing on the other side.
