I came here to say this, but was beaten to it.

But obviously it CAN be worked with as the P99 devs have proven.

And isn't it amazing what kind of gaming experience you get from devs that really have a passion for the world they're creating instead of trying to make a blockbuster moneymaking machine?

Absolutely. I have mad respect for the contributors to this Project, most of all nilbog. Not just because he had the original idea and delved into the mess of source code and put a lot of work into it, but because he's had a very clear vision from day 1 of what this server would look like and he 100% stuck to it. Despite fears that banning boxing would kill the server, despite DDoS attacks, despite raiding drama and RnF and persistent trolls and trainers, and despite the constant threat of a C&D he has not wavered in what he wants this server to be.
