Here is what ATS is afraid of, goons make a 150 man NA server and of course everyone flocks to it and then their servers which the player base seems to have to fund loses its appeal. People will always move to the bigger server.
This works on multiple levels, ATS can close their 80 man server, Goons open up a 150 man and dont beg us for donations (which i always donate to anyhow) and ATS can afford their one server and the best benefit is that we gain 70 slots overall for the community.
Likely the goons would be better admins as well, less serious and more fun to play around with. I doubt gaga would threaten me with a ban when someone asks me whats the most kills I have ever gotten and when I answer I am threatened with "I warned you about bragging thulsa, one more and your banned".
