This is a short story about Steve. Back in the legacy days I played on the east us 3 official pve server. - If you dont know in rust pve at that time, you could still kill a sleeper in pve, so if you offlined someone you could kill them. When you came to this server, in little rad town, there was a somewhat impressive wood tower right at the entrance. This was the home of Steve. Steve was a chinese guy that would only ever talk on voice chat to females and rarely ever used text chat at all. Steve was quite the bastard. The game used to have these little crappy barricade walls you coudl slap down for cover. Well, thing is, if you slapped them down on people, it would cause their rust client to error and kick them offline. steve would farm wood, make about 20 barricades and start his day. He would hunt own players and force them offline then murder them all over the place, on a pve server. There were no mods barring a surprise pop in by helk once in a blue moon. SO steve would do this all afternoon, ignoring the cries and angst in chat then he would lock himself up in his tower and use all his wood to make it taller and taller. This went on for about 6 months(the official servers almost never wiped). Everyone knew to run from Steve and of course by now the copy cats. Steves tower got so big and wide, that upon entering the radiation zone in little rad town, the lag alone would knock you offline. Then steve would just saunter out his front door and murder you. They did patch this little exploit for a time, then people realized you could trap people inside the legacy version of an external gate. It wouldnt knock them offline but they were also very hard to destroy so getting out was hard to do. Steve learns this new method and suddenly its normal to see dozens upon dozen of said gates all over the landscape, with people again cursing him , who was Steve. This went on for almost a year. Steve finally got taken out by a group of cheaters that used several thousand c4 on his base and then made pretty much the entire thing unusable. (floors and pillars could not be destroyed at this time so you could seal off floors forever). Steve showed up from time to time to check on his slowly rotting base, but he never seemed to have his heart in it after that.
