Well lets be honest ... DC was an absolute ****up.
They had amazing Coders .. but the Team that did the setup of the server and tweaking (GMD) was an absolute retard ...
Youve got amazing code going on ... Nick practically fixing things "for the fun of it" and coding because he enjoys it .. Its not even work to him .. PCN/Cheeky or w/e just fixing things quickly on request. Code going on like mad ... then youve got GMDragon who can't even setup a fking dedicated box to run the files correctly.
IMO - DC was a euro Clone ... just release the entirety of the code .. was that not the original goal of the DM2 files and the LOMCN project???
Release everything , all the code , and at least then the DC team will be remembered as the people who completed / wrapped up the DM2/Lomcn project ... rather than the ****ers who wasted 3months of everyones time.
Just my 2 cents .. and OMG i soooo knew this would happen .. that was the most idiotic server team EVERRRRR ...
Coders = 10/10
Everyone else just didnt have General competance.
If any of the development team is interested in helping an new-ish team just started out with some famous names on this forum then please contact me.
We have fully dedicated Europe 100meg hosting with a vbull licence, a design unit, data mapping team and consultancy. Our current team are also eager to learn and willing to adapt... we've got a lot of great ideas and currently only myself and one other are working on the programming side, having only programmed with VB and C++ the transition is slow - would be great to have a competent coder on the team.
ALL of the people who have posted say "its crap" "The GMs are rubbish" have no idea what it takes to run a server
The money involved getting a host machine
The time spent working on the server
The money spent getting web hosting and a VB Board
The time spent setting up everything and planning it all
Then you get posts like "whens it up" ,"this is crap" ,"I want to play now", "why is this not working"
A long list of stupid PMs and e-mails
MSN getting overrun with questions
Until any of you have hosted a server you have no right to commit on a server team and its members
The DC Team is a great team ALL OF THEM, as is any server team who spend there own money so that all of you can play mir for FREE
From this post on any crap about any server teams being "crap" or "rubbish" will result in a warning for abuse

lol honestly I'm shocked ... Surely when you made the promises about DC that you did ... you must expect people arent gunna be too impressed with the outcome.
In the end I suppose you accomplished a couple of things :
1stly an amazing waste of money on a dedi box for 3months .. Congratulations - idiot.
2ndly taking developers of the files away from actually dedicated server teams - idiot.
3rdly you did however probably make other server teams speed up their 2.3 file development. so a tiny clap.
Overall .. the persons time you wasted the most was probably your own.
Plus everyone gets to call you a failure .. thats probably the biggest PLUS
And GREAT if someone else completes the DC Files ... I'd be over the moon if someone took over from an idiot and actually knew what they were doing, then went on to make a decent server.
And will people stop using "why dont you setup a server then , why dont you do this and why dont you do that" as an excuse. I'm not in a position to commit time to making a server - so I wont waste players times and other peoples by "hoping" that somehow I can deal with the situation.
Certain DC team members (definately not all of them) should try taking this stance for a change.
P.S : *Clap* for TD ... You were right in the end. lol. Had a feeling you would be.
