I do hope history doesn't repeat itself.
Me too.
So, for you, this is a bitter, personal vendetta against the official servers?
I think there is a misunderstanding, I was just trying to comment on the player split by providing one, of many, possible solutions. I really have nothing invested in any of the outcomes. Donations never touch my bank account, the Community Servers are not owned by me, I do not play strategus, plus I rarely play on c-rpg. Hopefully this will be my last post on the forums as it is.
What happened in the last couple months leading to the shutdown of the Community Servers before, was an unfortunate series of events that built up tension and further problems. Some things I would do differently yes, but there are other things that had little to do with me at all. I do not recommend that officials shut down, not just because of reasons I've previously stated, but also because some people, no matter what I say or do, will not want to play on Community.
