dont u guys think tfm is being stolen by many? there are many games which are using tfm as base and spoiling the name of it by attracting people by offering hell a lot of cheese,fraises and titles. there are many tfm-copies. Mods and Admins, make a rule that Players playin tfm-copies will be banned and dont let those looters loot ur hardwork. thats all i ask :)

[Sentinel] Please do not mention the names of private servers in this thread!

keeping track of everyone who plays on pirate servers is impossible, because they use different nicknames, and there is no ability to see their IPs either;oh, and also there is hundreds of servers, finding all of them would be a simple waste of time
(by the way, mentioning names of private servers wasnt a good idea, you know)

Theres lots of different private severs lots of people just copy tfm. Keep track of the people who make the Severs and report them to a admin or Mod.

(damn hell theres so much.)

As Mary has noted, keeping track of all the rip offs and pirate servers is insanley difficult. No one's ever sure whom has made them, either.
Also, advertising and naming the server here is a bad idea. It's kind've immoral to go onto a server like this because you're feeding a monster that's a blaintent copy of TFM. It took them no hard work; It took Atelier (admins of TFM), a very long while though, and they work hard everyday to improve things.
Yes, the sites bribe you with thousands of fraises and cheeses but you're really being an arse - sometimes these are not secure and can cause viruses. Other times, again, you're just being immoral.

It's unsettling and unfair to know that there are pirate servers, but there's not much to do.

the most insane is, the game which i told above ASKS Players to pay money to mods for admin status and exclusive titles :( this is really unfair im on tfm from very long so i know how hard it was to do each update :( but these people.... something must be done guys. mods how bout filing complaint on those owners since they stole ur files and faked it as "Copyrighted"

Agree with Sydo, I feel bad for the players who aren't aware that these sites are hurting the game :(

alot of people in my tribe play i have told them before that it not safe but they dont listen ):

i used to play it myself then i relized that it was not safe and wrong so i stoped and anyone who does play this should stop too.

I'll be honest, I've played some of the copied games. But after playing it for 10 minutes I realized that it's just boring ._.

For cheese, you don't even earn it which defeats the purpose of playing. It's basically getting whatever the hell you want without having fun to earn it o3o

^..
Anytime If go on a pirate server I think to someone with 10k cheese...Why don't you earn that on transformice? -.-

There are a lot of people that have different languages there and plus, you can't do some of the commands on those copied games that you can do on tfm.

2 weeks ago i saw someone advertising a private server. I forgot the name, but just saying.

Ugh, like 3 of my friends play on this copied version of TFM.. I really don't play it as much since it really is boring when you already have like 10K cheese on there. Besides, I feel like I can trust TFM better since it's the original. XD

Sydoline a dit :

Most of those players don't know that these websites are illegal or can harm the original game. In our opinion, it wouldn't be fair to punish the players.

it's funny cuz i got a 72 hour ban a year or two ago for sharing a link to a particular private server, not knowing any consequences of doing so and not receiving ANY warning, and getting a portuguese ban message (very helpful indeed). this statement here is a complete load of crap, or else was definitely not true in the past.

anyways i feel that private servers are for people who got banned or people who don't want to buy fraises and whatever, but most importantly i feel like private servers are being created due to the perceived incompetence of the developers of the game.

Anomunus a dit :

Her reply most likely applied to people PLAYING on those pirate servers, not those who were/are advertising them.

But remember guys! mods and devs alone cant take action in this regard, they need co-operation from us, the Players..... so guys if u see ur friend,tribe mate,best friend advertising or playing illegal servers report them on that instant and.....
To Devs:
How about adding a ip adress tracer when a person logging in and get banned? coz u may ban the ip from creating a new account PERMANENTLY! and how about organizing a GROUP which consists of mods and players to invetigate the issue in each private servers and suggest "TFM Unknown" players to come to TFM.

Most Important:
Post a copyright issue on youtube videos which are like "How to create a private transformice server" and stuffs.

If all these are done, there will be a great change :) and it rlly hurts to see the sweaty-hardworked-updates of tfm goto vain :(
