According to the great words of Sirius F. Crackhoe: > You know, it's always the same tired old argument: "Well if it > weren't for us who run the servers, online multiplaying would not > exist.". Give me a break. Look how many servers are out there right > now? Do you think the few of you who are in here pissing and moaning > are really going to be the end-all of online gaming.
The sad thing is that there are a lot of servers out there - no doubt the number is increasing daily. However, the bulk of them are kiddie servers running on daddy's PC and a cable modem connection offering 32 player slots and lagging above 8. The quality servers are run by the professionals who do things like participate in this list and complain when things are bad. Why complain? Because they care about the quality of the experience people have on their servers. What we are seeing here is all the people who care are leaving the game. What will be left are thousands of crap servers. Then we'll see if the game remains so popular... -Mad -- http://www.madslab.com "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof.
