lasthope came out
arena wasnt compatible with lasthope so the server got shut down arena completely died
twl 10v10 ctf got shut down
5v5 teams dwindled to like 5 or 6 teams in totality from 10+
booze boot camp server that was usually full all the time died completely
we went from 2 full 32 player pubs to 1
this happened very very quickly and there were many threads about interpolate and it not being a cheat or being a cheat during this time
people didn't leave because they couldn't cheat they left because switching to lasthope sucked and nuked interpolate which a lot of people had got used to
im not talking about 1.30 im talking about the first iterations of lasthope i can't even remember what they were called because they were only around shortly like 1.20 or whatever and we had to keep changing and download the newest anti cheat every month or so like 3 or 4 times just to join a server
there were points when one server would be running lasthope 1.20a and another had 1.20b(??i forget the title but i remember there was an a and b version) or some ot her version and you couldn't join one server or the other with your version of lasthope
please explain to me how requiring the average person to have 3 different versions of tribes to play on 3 different servers wouldn't be annoying or make people quit the game
