I think you missed the part about Twill explaining to everyone who was asking him that he knew very little about the map change. I would assume that if he knew that little, that he did not actually make the revamp. Lets not jump to conclusions now shall we? And lets not respond that I was jumping to a conclusion that you were thinking Twill did the revamp. that is the problem of the forums, you can generalize and then prove yourself correct against any response.

I and many other will abandon this site... there are others around and frankly this place is a joke.
There may be other sites, but conquerclub has the largest variety of settings, and maps. And the maps are, in general, much higher quality than in all of the other sites.
I also recall that 2 months ago there were several threads in the GD that said cc has the best customer service ever... funny how the same people are not putting down its every move, and complaining at every temporary, unavoidable change. I say "unavoidable" because it was not their fault the server crashed, and it was not their fault people were threatening to sure them.
CAn you guys get it through the skulls the server did not crash... they had to take it down to effect a huge change to a huge database. CORRECT LACK?
I run big databases for fortune 500 companies and know what it takes to evoke such a change. THERE WAS NO SERVER OUTAGE... it was more LIES from them...
It is what big business does... it lies and Lack likely learned this behavior in his previous jobs...
He had to do find replaces on ever attach and fortify etc... think about it.

As to how ugly it is, sure, it can be revamped, and hopefully will be, it's not my favourite map right now However, it's got to steer well clear of any possible copyright concerns.
There's not much else I can say, I'm afraid...apologies

That's where you are wrong. It doesn't matter what you do, or think you do, the fact remains the server DID crash.

I think every other page does. Andy has been active in the last several of them. Why? Are you accusing me of not knowing what is going on? Be careful, my avatar is looking at you.

1. You just contradicted your first post right there. 2. Typing in all caps is not cool, and is actually against the forum guidelines. 3. That is irrelevant to this thread.

oh come on guys .. let's start with the truth and it will be much more easy for us to be supportive of the site!
every time there is a big update: they apply the new ratings system or change a map just for example; the server mysteriously and purely coincidentally crashes due to third party culpability.
I am with you guys, i truly am 100% with CC.. but please come clean and stop irritating me by moving my bloody posts and threads hehe.

This new classic map is brutal. I have loved CC and play the classic map exclusivley. I understand the circumstances around the change, but you must have for seen something like this happening. If there is not a good replacement, I would not be renewing my membership. Shall I say it again....its brutal.

A: nothing was contradicted...

E: I was arguing it didnt crash without cause dummy... I was saying the crash was a symptom of preparation of this... which points out how they had advanced warning and could have released a statement... get it?

However, it's got to steer well clear of any possible copyright concerns.
