From another thread, straight into this one. It's magic!
I request a new checkbox in the server list that reads "Include race servers". It will be UNCHECKED by default. This will make it harder to find because new players will most likely not join it at the first go.
Personally I do not think this option is actually needed, but it seems some folks are under the impression that:
- The CTS server is a distraction to other (new) players who would otherwise play on different servers. They would love what they see and hang around, even on an empty server.
- After seeing people have fun, talking to each other, complimenting each others records and having an altogether great time on the CTS server, these newbies are scared away from the game for good.
This is awful of course, because when the players who hate on CTS finally DO start playing Xonotic themselves, they would like hordes of noobs on the servers waiting to be fragged.
Anyway, if this new option proves them wrong it would secretly amuse me a great deal. If it proves they were right I will count my losses and Xonotic will become the Most Popular Thing Ever.
