Fighting Will Ruin This Game

Post by HairyRussianDude »

Everybody,

I won't pussyfoot around the subjects, some of you have a beef with one another and some of you on both ends of the spectrum have issue with the new HELLO server coexisting with EA117.
Recent events and the actions of certain individuals have created some divisiveness within the very small DC community. Frankly you all need to get past your anger, frustration, and grudges or this game is headed to an earlier grave.

There has been plenty of arguing over maps,mods, and behavior of other players. HELLO being active is an end to those arguments.
Don't like that map? Maybe the other server has something you do like. You're playing DC.
Don't like how modded this map is? Maybe that other server has more vanilla going, or vice versa. You're playing DC.
Tommy Talksalot is driving you nuts? Play at the other server for a bit to cool off. You're playing DC.
The entire reason for existence of a game server is to host people playing a game. To keep that game being played, not to feed any one particular person's needs. If somebody is doing something to keep people playing DC, we all win.

We've coexisted with other servers since day 1, we will continue to do so. We have been in contact with HELLO's senior leadership, a pleasant and well spoken individual, in regard to some of our player base's concerns and we have already seen a noticeable decrease in the actions initially brought to our attention. Hopefully you can see that too.

We are tied up at the moment, but in the near future there will be a change in maps here. This will create more options for players as both modded and vanilla will be on the menu. You can play whatever you are in the mood for at the time.
If anybody is in the mood to play some heavily modded and brand new DC maps, I recommend visiting the HELLO Clan server.

Look at logical side of this and it is a positive thing. Everybody, including you dear reader, has options now. Just go where it makes you happy and judge none for their choice. Lets all just get back to playing DC together and being a community too stubborn to go extinct.

Fighting will ruin anything when it's over inconsequential things which don't deserve the anger.

I agree with Hairy that the existence of yet another Desert Combat server instead of just vanilla Battlefield 1942 is a great thing. And that we have been coexisting with other servers since day one; coexist with them now; and will continue coexisting with them in the future.

EA117 continues to strive to be a welcoming community for playing the Desert Combat game we love. The players here will continue to be guided away from insults and arguments and other disruptions of the game. Anyone who wants to contribute map changes they would like to see continues to be welcome to do so. We too will continue making map changes whenever we can.

In no way are things going to be "our way or HELLO's way." Any more than it's been our way or MaxNET's way, or HHD's way, or Moongamer's way, or Badewiese's way, etc.

But if you feel like it's just impossible for you to play the map currently playing on EA117, and feel its impossible for you to abide by voting the map you want and seeing what the other players want to play, then yes we fully expect you'll want to check out what's happening on any of the other Desert Combat servers at that moment, including HELLO.

Just do continue to feel welcome to continue playing EA117 too, which is where you'll find us still playing.
