Saturation of servers, in other words: too many servers, too few
players too fill them up.

If they connect via the server browser (or command line, etc) then they will

As was already stated in that thread, being registered doesn't
necessarily opt you in to quickplay.
Having said that, my main server, which has a registered account but is
set to not join quickplay, wasn't seeing any drops this year.
My event server has a separate account and is registered

The complaint before was forced ads. Servers cannot resend the MOTD to
quickplay players anymore so I don't understand why additional restrictions
need to be introduced.

Any communities that were reliant on ads being served to quickplay users
would have already shut down by now.
This new limitation just seems to serve as an annoyance to perfectly

My only concern with this change is that with a HTML motd, you can keep a
MOTD central. That's a bit harder to do with a text MOTD, unless
motdfile_text can be defined as a URL to a textfile.

I wasn't so sure about this, and honestly doesn't affect me because I run
trade servers and jailbreak, but it seems fine. If you join the server, you
don't have to download any HTML junk and don't have to watch any ads...but
if you like the server, save to favorites and reconnect you see whatever
I could try to talk with a friend of mine to see if his server could be
borrowed for testing this, however he's not online at the moment. And if
I mess with that much on the server I map-dev for, the sysadmin would

It's probably due to those servers that were loading ads nonstop in an
invisible window.
This worked on both quickplay connects and normal ones and it can cause
performance issues for the clients.
It also made the use of fakeplayers profitable.

I am just saying there will be more because servers who were relying only on
ads to fund their servers or generate revenue will surely move into those types
of servers.

Agreed. but if the vast majority of players connect through quickplay and it
cuts deeply in to server Ad revenue, which seems likely, then admins will be
looking elsewhere and those are the logical places to go.
