So it was brought to my attention, That a few of the creations from my server "City of Rapture" Specifically Two of my oldest and most liked ones, Have been stolen and claimed by a person by the name of Harvty123, and placed upon your realms, as your own, and as His creations.
Now, I don't mind if you want the maps to play on, Hell they ain't even the greatest maps in the world, However they mean something to my community, And videos I made of them almost a year ago still is quite popular.
Would somebody tell us Why, He figured it was OK to steal our creations and claim as his own? I have no problems with World of Minecraft, I never go to your servers, nor do I take anything of yours and claim as Mine. And I use your client, which is quite helpful.

Every bit of proof that the builds belong to me is right there. Check the dates of the videos.
Not only that, but Irrational Game's Themselves, Credited me with the creation of Columbia, When I showed them it all that time ago, Even so, I've just finished columbia, in Beta Version, and have a small teaser of it, Which of course is a little old as to what it looks like now.

Heres a link to almost a year ago when they posted it on the front page of their site.
But seriously, Make ANOTHER columbia, Don't take one that exists, Make your own.
I suppose that is what got me the most, He really wants to go and steal something that everybody knows belongs to one specific Person and Server?
I've also noticed that one of my players, Munchead, Made a topic about this,
And More people will continue to make topics if this Wrong isn't undone.
So do read this, Do tell me why.
I'm not saying its all of World of Minecraft's fault, However, Harvty123, Has proven to our eyes, a Thief, And if he gets away with it, Word will spread about how much of a Thief he is, and how little World of Minecraft thinks of other people and servers.
CoR isn't some newfag server that popped up, We have been sitting around for quite a long time, and I'm sure people remember, So when things like this happen, we tend to get a little, Eh, Pissed off.
Not only that, CoR is linked to a much Older community called Mikes-Revenge, which has existed far before Minecraft came into existence, The server is part of them, And if you start a problem with one of our servers, You start a problem with the entire community.
Thanks.
I look forward to a Response.
As it has already been stated, its not the fault of the whole World of Minecraft community that things have been stolen, but it would be their fault if noone of the administration will reply to this. It would be their fault if they thought its Alright when one of their players goes to other servers steals maps and claims them as his own.
CoR is one of the oldest Classic servers on the list and not just some random noob server nobody will listen to.
I demand that you take our creations off your servers and videos or at least dont claim them as your own.
Thanks for your attention
It really shows alot about a community. Now i may not know of the CoR servers. But the sheer fact that an admin hasnt addressed this issue shows the cowardice in this community
What is with the hostility?
As for addressing the issue we really haven't had the chance to reply. It's this thing that effects the earth called "timezones".
However, I've woken up on this beautiful Sunday morning to 2 delightful support tickets and then I come to the forums to find it again with the exact same content. From both you and Munchhead.
Let's clear the air on a few things:
At any given time with have 50-100 active users. They come, they go, some stay, some build and well some are griefers and trolls.
I guess my question is - How are we suppose to know if users of our servers are going to other servers and copying maps?
What are we suppose to do? Monitor everything that goes on with the 800+ servers that are currently running at any given time within minecraft and say "hmmm Harvty123 maps looks exactly like Columbia from that portal I went through on City of Rapture"
Now I've taken the time to view your links, looked at Harvty123 map, went to you server and have decided to deal with Harvty123. However at the end of the day if anyone decides to build anything from scratch, there is not a lot we can do. For example if I wanted to build the city from Bioshock tomorrow, you can't really stop me doing it.
There was no need for multiple support tickets, topics with the same content attempting at slandering World of Minecraft and it's staff for a simple matter that could be resolved. All you needed to do was make one support ticket stating that Harvty123 had stolen your content without permission and that you want it remove with a little bit of patience.
One last note - I will reply to the support tickets when I have the chance stating the actions taken against Harvty123.
They are made by World of Minecraft community fans, we don't control what is published by them, they have free range to film whatever they want on World of Minecraft: Realms.
You will either need to contact them through Youtube or contact them through PM on this site. Please don't create topics for it. That will only cause debates and drama, which isn't welcomed.
I'll talk to "thatbennyguy" who made "What is World of Minecraft Realms" seeming as I did endorse his video but at the end of the day I can't force him to do anything.

As an administrator of the mIKe's ReVeNGe community that birthed the CoR server, I'd like an explanation of this. That work is of DrKamina and his team and not the work of Harvty123 or the World of Minecraft community. How many times are you guys going to do this?
