Hello everyone.
Today I will be writing about something that has become an apparent to everyone problem: the degrading quality of AC gaming. No, I am not talking about game style or features which used to be discussed with a great passion, but the large amount of public games and servers which provide no real satisfaction to guys like me who seek some real competitiveness. Even TyD and other servers reporting to TyD ladder have not been able to bring back the competitive atmosphere that was once highly successful on the so popular Hi-Skill servers. Unfortunately, after Drakas shut his servers down, there seems to be no good servers left where advanced players can meet to have some nice quality games like it was at the time when THE-HUB, Wotan and EUROZONE servers were around. It also seems that this game without a good ladder as HI-SKILL before it was closed, offers no more than just another means to kill some time as do those free online flash games. I don’t think that my point is an ambiguous one. A quick glance at player profiles we got today would be more than sufficient. Just let me ask you, what is the last time you saw great players like Matasar, Dam, Marriera, n0cu, guys from MA (old MA players) and 3i playing public games? Maybe a few times at most, not more, as opposed to probably everyday encounter with those ass-kicking guys on Hi-Skill servers in the past. I would like to stress that without some quality ladder and quality servers this game, no matter how fun it may be, will not offer much competitiveness and seriousness with which the aforementioned players used to approach this game. I would like to appeal to the developers, to realize this apparent problem, to leave behind the differences in the views on how this game should be developed, and give some credit to Drakas who worked so hard to make this game competitive, and did succeed in this with his once so popular Hi-Skill servers and ladder. I am more than confident that his involvement will only help this game grow, offering some serious competitiveness to some serious players. However, this rests in your hands.
Thank you.
