Recently I have had a few requests for some server changes to be made. First of all, the major problem is that, although our servers are good, we are not getting enough people playing on them. This is mainly due to the amount of stuff people have to download before they can even play on the server, such as:

  • VIP skins
  • Bomb timer


Therefore, I am proposing that we remove the following from the server and see how this affects the popularity of the servers. This is what most people who join our server think:

...as soon as I see a crap download I cancel the server connection because it's a waste of time... - VoX
I have also heard that skins lag servers, which is not a good thing at all (I am not aware of any proof, though).

So, if the general consensus is that these should be removed for the time being then I will do this. However, if our servers become really popular and we do not have any problems with filling up the servers, then I will consider adding them again. Addons like Mani, Eventscripts and Alpha Dogs will stay.
