For example I have a payload server, obviously doesn't use koth or cp maps and won't be using those particular maps. I will be disqualified from quickplay for my payload server if I don't use the new tags or the new maps? Or does this post only mean 'halloween event quickplay traffic' On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 4:50 PM, Game-Over <gameover.serv...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The delayed release is indeed grim news for us european server owners.
