How would no obj work on Hospital or other VIP maps?

Have you tried logging in with your old account?

Just go to http://battletracker.com/index.php?form=UserLogin and try logging in with your old username "Duplicate Hired.Gun".

If it fails, go to http://battletracker.com/index.php?form=LostPassword and use the same username to try and recover your old account. You need to check all your emails (as well as their spam folders) to see if you got the email.

If all that still fails, we can update your new account with the old honor.

Note to self:
I'll try and deal with this when I get a charger for my laptop.

Why not. A server of a clanmember, is a server for all. I don't see any problem with that. It's time to share servers. Looks ridiculous if every player has a server. All this for what? Feeling powerfull?

The last part is pretty much the only reason to own a server.

How can you say that this here server belongs to a clan if they don't advertise their name on the servername? Because if they're allowed only one, they won't have their clantag on any probably.
And you can't say who's server it just by it's admins, because some servers have their friends as admins for example.

- Second, it would be received as a strong signal by everyone, sending a strong signal that
hope is out there that this game may get a part of it's past magic back soon after all.

Yes, it would send a strong signal, but the signal is not the kind that everybody would like.

Either you are blind, or you just playing politics now. Server admins abuse is an obvious problem for years, and you don't have to read forum or shoutbox to recognize that. Just play the fucking game for a bit (without having the AAO25.com tag on you, ofc.).

Like I said on my next post, it does happen, but 95% of the shoutbox entries about such issues are false.



As for zoxee, nice job compiling all this, must have taken some effort!

I don't think people who would lose their servers would suddenly start donating that money to Assist. In an ideal world, this might happen, but in this one they'll probably just come here and bitch about it and be even more reluctant to donate anything (plus, a lot of the servers are home-run anyway).

If we did get the donations or had the resources, then as I've explained before, 10 servers is definitely too little, as in order to not lose players we would have to cover all the continents. 20 might work, but I'm a little skeptical to be honest.

And do you realize this would mean a lot more work for Assist admins? We'd be responsible for setting up and controlling all the servers (with a possible addition of a few community admins) and I really don't think we have the resources for that (manpower). We can't just go ahead and add new admins on a limb.

All in all your ideas are great, take control and force people to play different maps would work wonders theoretically, but the only way I would see this happening is gradually.

I thought u can have 2 accounts per pc???

you're allowed one per PC.
Or more precisely, you're not allowed to create a new one if your PC already has one.

Well there's a problem with editing original maps.

We don't want to change the original game content (if possible).

And even if we did do that (and there have been attempts), there will always be people who think it's wrong. It's a lose-lose situation.


But the custom maps can be changed as much as they need to be (as long as we have the original creator's blessing).


Ideas are always welcome, and a lot of us are constantly reading through all of them, but there is only so much that can be done and only so many people with limited amount of time to do it.

Ganja, don't get me wrong, the server admins do have a lot of control, and maybe it's more than would be fair, but my point was that the complaints in shoutbox are almost never about that.

And I don't disagree that there are admins out there that abuse their powers, but like was said before (by Killa), with such a small community such servers should be abandoned quite fast, it's not like there's a shortage of servers, 136 servers with 19 people on them is what it says at the moment.

And having only official servers might work, if we had the resources for that. However, it would have to be more than 10. There should be around 10 for Europe alone (in different locations), then another 5-10 for NA (including Brazilian servers, there's lots of them playing, also some on west, others on east coast), plus there would have to be servers on OC area as well (their community isn't as big as it used to, but it still exists and can't be ignored).
So altogether we'd probably have to have around (or close to) 30 servers. Even if not all of them will be filled at once (even for one location), we would always need to have room for growth.
I know Nick has been helping us setting up some servers for both NA an EU locations (and it's very nice of him!), but there's a limit to that, not to mention the fact that he doesn't have servers all over the planet.
