Hey guys, with today's update we're introducing a few new features that
will impact servers, and I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
There is a new quickplay category, featured, that represents the
featured maps for a given campaign. In order to have your server in this
category, you need to be running the mapcycle
mapcycle_featured_maps.txt, and have the special string 'featured' in
your quickplay tags.
Today's update also introduces contracts, which currently require
players be on official servers to complete. Unfortunately, our current
setup makes it very difficult to restrict features like this other than
in an all-or-nothing manner, and we determined this was necessary to
protect the system from immediate abuse.
We agree this is not ideal. We are continuing the look at the situation
with community servers and how we can better support passionate
communities, but currently have nothing to announce.
