When the 1p server was announced, I loved the idea, because all of you 3p dragnoobs ruin the game tongue.gif

But it's mostly empty now, so I have to play with you sad.gif .

Now I've had an idea, mostly because I hate archers, to make it a 1P/3P server, no archers. The idea has gathered some support on the 3p server from what I can tell, since I'm not the only one with that particular hatred. Let's face it, archers have nothing to do in this game.

I know it's a medieval game, and I know archers were part of conflicts at that time, but I'm not really playing for historical accuracy here, I'm here for the fun, and archers ruin other players' fun.

The main purpose of the game is basically to pit one's skills against others, and that's mostly what happens. Sure you get backstabbed, ganked upon, or TKed, but in most if not all cases, your own skill matters in how many times you're gonna die, as well as your ennemy's. Then the archer comes in, and then it's only his skill that matters, yours is now irrelevant. You're running with half life looking for an ennemy, and an instant later it's lights out. This is not fun, it's just frustrating.

So yeah, limited archers is fine, but 4 archers are still 4 too many IMO.

Well I've always said I'm happy to set the Carnage server to whatever remains popular. The limited archer server has essentially become our 'main' server so shouldn't need changing.

While any permanent changes to the 'carnage' server would need majority voting pat the clan, in the meantime if the server is empty am happy for any clan members with access to set it to whichever mode they feel will make the server popular and utilised.

Moreso at the moment as I've just finished moving the old 95 server into the 77 datacentre, so could really do with filling the server to check on performance.

In the meantime, I've set it as a mirror of 'limited archer' with the exception of "No Archers" - hence the name SneakyMonkeys.com *NO ARCHERS* TO EU UK

If we can't get the server filled in the next day or so, I'll make an exact copy of the limited archer server then temporarily bring this down so that we can get a chance to test performance (once the server fills, will bring back the limited archer server)

Thanks!
