About DisastrousConsequences

TheDruidXpawX and Shantara started this server in December of 2004.

We started playing Unreal 2003, and we had a lot of fun online, but also experienced a number of problems. We found that there were a lot of really disrespectful people out there who felt that they had the right to cheat, curse at, or otherwise disrespect other players in game. This was extremely frustrating to us because, in order to continue playing the game that we loved, we basically had to sit there and put up with it.

Finally, we had had enough, and we decided to create our own server, and invite the really cool individuals that we had met online to join us in our custom environment. Thus, DisastrousConsequences was born. What started out as a 7-person maximum itsy bitsy server in our basement eventually grew into the community now known as DC today, with all the forums,Reserved slots, and other goodies along with it.

We created the Rules of the server to reflect our vision of the server: we view this server as an extension of our home. Therefore, behavior that would not be tolerated in our home (such as derogatory language) is not tolerated here. We found that in order to keep the server as close to our ideal as possible, it was necessary to keep the rules simple. That way, we can simply state "no swearing," instead of "some words are okay, and some words are not."

What it comes down to is this: we want a safe, fun, friendly environment for ourselves and others to play in. We want people to feel safe allowing their children to play here, and we want all individuals to feel free from negativity here so they can simply have fun playing a game and making friends.

Our hope is that we can educate people along the way and in the process create a more respectful world for us all to live in.
