re-actively acting to small aspects of the game will never work, and it will just create holes elsewhere.
Glad you can see this.
Kneejerk reactions to someone's comments about gameplay clearly do more harm than good, however well meaning they might be.
I also despair at the hypocrisy of some in this thread (and other threads) where they berate aspects of the server when it doesn't suit their play style or ability but happily keep quiet about an exploit.
You can't have it both ways. If you want a long running, solid and reliable server, you need to iron out all the problems. Once this is done and it's as fair as it can be, it will encourage more players and we all know that will make for an enjoyable server.
Icey currently has personal issues so can't be on call 24/7 like he has been for the last year or more.
So, decide what you want. A 5 minute server exploited and screwed then move along, nothing for you here or a long term server with dozens, if not hundreds of players running around getting somewhere near the buzz we used to have on Euro back in the early days.
