Yeah all custom aspects of server were a disaster from ruleset to resists they were flat out bummers all the time. Bad custom setup. Needs straight rallos zek and good launch.

I would have had no problem helping beta test if I hadn't been working 60+ hour weeks at the time.

I could understand the "well, you didn't help us test it, so deal with it" response we got from the staff, but there's no point in assigning blame for a bad launch. It was what it was. The first year or two of the server ended up being an extended beta. It's just unfortunate that a substantial number of players had the first impression of a server that was still WIP and probably haven't bothered playing since then.

If the server in its current state had launched back in 2011, I think it would have had a better chance of keeping momentum and retaining more players.
