We have known Arkane since early 2023, working together across multiple servers (three in total). Between us, we built South East RP twice and later Oceanic RP. However, each time a minor issue arose in a server Arkane was managing, our development access would be revoked, and all of our hard work would be deleted without any backup.
During our time at Oceanic RP, a new developer joined, claiming they wanted to help. Management accepted their offer and gave them a developer role. However, this person soon began criticising our work and went as far as spreading false claims about us to get us removed from the development team — and eventually from the server itself. Our work was put under constant criticism by Arkane, we were not allowed to play other games, take breaks without letting leadership know, despite being unpaid for our work.
We had built Oceanic from the ground up, something Arkane refuses to acknowledge, and within days, everything we had worked for was taken from us. After our departure, an announcement was put out thanking us for our work, BUT, only in the early stages (specifically noted as "Their contribution to Oceanic RP was critical in the beginning stages and we are extremely appreciative of their actions during that stage")
We were not credited for the work we had done in the later stages of the server, nor were we thanked for the hundreds of hours we put into the server. We were not even given the opportunity to say goodbye to the community we had built.
Shoutouts:
- Jek (thanks for having our back <3)
- Pringlez (thanks for being patient when things were slow)
Malicious Content
In regards to the Malicious content that we claimed to have put on the Dedicated Box, this was all a bluff. We lead Arkane to beleive that we had put malicious content on the Dedicated Box to see what actions he would take. We had hoped he would just delete our scripts as requested however instead of that he decided to completly re-make the server and format the VPS. There never was any Malicious content on the Dedicated Box.
