The End of an Era...[123/4] servers removed!
Posted: 02-09-2004 11:23
I heard on the grapvine (Catalyst :p) that 123/4 have removed their deathball servers.
The reason was that they were simply not being used. In all honesty, this is completely understandable since I haven't seen the community this dead in a long time.
It's not that the players aren't there, I doubt DB is less popular today than it was a couple of months ago, it's just that the public servers are in such disarray (some on 2.0, some on 2.1, others 2.1c) that it's bloody fustrating trying to find a public server to play on nowadays and this can only be doing harm to Deathball's reputation.
I know a lot of the old school Euros first met each other on the 123/4 servers and it has always been one of my favourite servers to play on.
I just hope the ECE will boost player numbers and that the next version of DB is as playable and bug free as possible. Hopefully this is just a short respite and Jr and Bedlam will bring back their server once popularity increases.
