The problem is that stock servers get boring after a while - having played one map on W:ET for almost a year with no variation I can relate to this.
Having variations in the gameplay makes the game a lot more fun. An example of this is every now and again on our server we run special events where we change something major (ie: amount of items an engineer can build) for a few hours. It can be quite fun as a spy mass-sapping sentries (never underestimate the fun of mindless entertainment). -TheGeekLord Spencer 'voogru' MacDonald wrote: > Myth busters proved that a lead balloon can fly. > > On another note, my servers are properly tagged.
