Blid is an old admin from around 2006, he played couple years on the server and since 10 years he have never played anymore, the fact that he just hang here like that to watch the forum and take decision like if it matters make me believe he is just a smurf and troll.. iL is the head admin of the server, he dont play the game anymore, but he is really good to take this game into dictature. Everytime we want to improve this game and it concern CLIENT, SERVER, OR HEAD ADMINISTRATION... He act like it's never possible. I think he only use us as what we call Zombies Network! Something that alot of Russians love to do. At the moment he telling us that we cant have new HEAD ADMINISTRATION because he miraculously made the server on LINUX platform, but whats the point with his personal LINUX computer and a pvpg server that came back from 1995 when linux was not even existing... It make no sens at all, he just dont want nobody to see what is happening in this server, thats what i think. By the way, he will also say all those shutdown are due to dos attack, but it's false again, iL transfert the game to another server six month ago, he probably find a better deal where he pay less, and that server is total trash! Six month ago before he transfert to that server, war2 was not that bad.
And please, dont say ping is not bad, ping is total trash and there 2 reason for it... The server that he just transfert is trash, and he still allow mutiples different clients to connect on the server, wich bring a corruption on the latency. Go try war2usa and you will see what a good ping is!
I understand IL, I wouldn't let some random unknown guy on the internet into my server. Especially with all the drama that is going on. To have one guy access all the personal information, IP:S passwords, usernames etc makes sense. But If you can find someone you trust that you think have the skills to help, I guess that would be a good thing. But as I said, I wouldn't trust people I don't know.
You need to listen to what I'm saying. The ping to the server doesn't affect gameplay at all. Only lag in lobby and joining games. When you start the game you get dis attached from the server. That's why you can play a game even if the server goes down after you started the game.
How do you know the crashing of the server is not from DDOS? The only reason I can see the server crash, is by overload (not likely), an attack or IL is running a server at his home, and he got unstable electricity etc. Most likely it is some kind of attacks. But IL can probably answer this?
Why war2usa has better latency in games is probably because most of the players have good routing to each others. The more players and the more countries around the world that will play, the more it will lag.
BTW. Linux is a good choice when you run a server. It's the most common way to run servers. I have been running many servers with Linux, it's not a bad choice...
