Just FYI, I have really only seen a few of these requests, and as far as I know, some of them have been granted.
There are A LOT of inactive servers out there, and if the people who maintain them are a part of the community maybe a
will turn on.
It did for the MELEE ONLY server which was fun for a while, but the name wasn't changed so I don't think it gained enough popularity. EU Melee Only is pretty much, like, perfection. Great rules and map rotation and MELEE ONLY right in the name. Shame the NA one didn't last.
