Nah, total my old friend on this one.
We had once a melee only server, which consisted basically of the same few try-hards. And this happened when the mod still had players, can't even imagine now.
You liar. There has never been a pure melee only server.
However, there was an infantry only server without ranged (no
melee cavalry) which was named "Melee" something.
Furthermore long
melee weapons like spears and pikes as well as
melee weapons with crushthrough weren't allowed.
I bet you would refer to a server which only allowed german greatswords as a "melee only server".
Cavalry can be melee too!
