Well, I'm tired of this.
a) A lot of people are talking about TyD's ladder and still haven't any idea about the historical and technical background, the scoring or the contributing servers (there are also server in oceania available as already pointed out).
But hey - it's easier to talk without or less knowledge rather than doing a little bit research before (eg. reading this).
b) Now - after two months - some people slowly realize what they have lost with the shutdown of HI-SKILL. They claim that the lost ladder was played a lot more often, by a lot more players and of course by a lot of more skilled players. And where have they been at the end? Short after the shutdown only a very few people discussed ideas for a recreation. Maybe they stopped again, cause they found out that making a ladder is a bit more then just starting some servers and creating a SQL-table. I don't know. But everyone is free to do his own attempt in coding one or to ask Drakas for his code.
c) Beside all of this, it's my personal opinion that the decision to make HI-SKILL mainly to a 1.0.4 ladder was a catalyst for its termination. Without the connection to the main stream AC release it started to become a niche product for older player till they loose their interest. This might be the reason why soon after this decision also some 1.1.0.4 servers appeared (which means that the results of the two releases with so often claimed different gameplays have been mixed up).
