well guys I have been pulling this apple cart loaded with cement up the hill for what seems like eternity. I have tried easy install map packs, phone calls, file dumps, you name it trying to get this thing off the ground and it just does not seem to be working out. I watched as I worked today to see 3 to 10 players on the server all day and if that keeps up people will finally leave and go to a server that has people on it.
I waited a year for pure to work, always holding out hope that when we could finally make a cheat free enviroment, the world will be good at last. Now it's here and the world is crumbling by the second. Empty servers, all kinds of people with problems, a hundred emails a day and I am just overwhelmed. In addition, maps are becoming more complex and fewer decent ones are coming out, some like Tractorworks teases us and then ends up in the can. So I have a choice, keep going and take pure off the server seems to be the most realistic answer and indeed 90 percent of the community has no plans to put pure on based on the experiences I and a few others are having. That means I am left to spending copius amounts of time, like my fellow MOB bretheren on our other servers policing the server constantly, forcing screenshots, building a huge ban list and generally taking all the fun out of it for me. In the end I have been doing some soul searching and I just can't bring myself to doing this. So I can't live with pure off, and the community can't live with pure on, it's that simple. Based on that I have decided to hang up the shingle and begin the process of moving on. Maybe it would be different if we would of had pure form the beginning, maybe not. Either way, all good things come to an end and it is time. I will be turning off MOB server #2 in it's current state at the end of the payment cycle which is some time at the end of this month. I will also be actively looking at which game I plan on investing my future in and will start turning my attention that way. If anyone desires to take the MOB #2 name over and run a server you will have my blessing and full cooperation. I am saddened it has come to this but I have thought about it a lot in the past few days and unfortunately I don't see another choice. Thanks all for the memories, the laughs, and the friendships, I will certainly miss you all and from time to time I will be back to make your life miserable. |

Oh and I do not plan on leaving MOB, unless they kick me out. But I will move to the inactive graveyard of old people. Who knows, maybe old man will put me on a milk carton....

Fag~
It is a sad day but I completely understand. The influx of cheaters over the past few months has been incredible and annoying. Most are obvious and easy to spot but like you said it isn't why any of us are on the servers. There is no easy solution and I empathize with your situation. People on the servers applaud our efforts to ban the cheaters but rarely realize what happens to ensure that. Good luck with whatever you decide. Cypher |

Fag, server #1 was completely empty all day today as well, I checked on and off for about 9 hours today. I was shocked but it was a slow day for all the servers. No big. They will be back. Who can resist MOB?

I finally got back on today FK and it was fun and full the entire time!
Why do you think everyone gets so frustrated when they can't log on? It's cause we don't wanna play anywhere else! As far as the ease of install=======It's a piece of cake as long as the DL files are there. I couldn't imagine it being any simpler than what it is now! If people refuse to delete their mod files and other add-ons in order to play with pure, then who needs them! It took me not more than 5-10 mins today to do a complete install....that's nottin mon! Your work in combination with the comrodery of the regular players on Server #2 is what makes it so much fun! Don't let people get you frustrated, they obviously want on the Server really badly......if you never heard from anyone.....*crickets*.....then I would be worried! -------------------- ![]() |

FK you've worked so hard on getting everything working right. Everybody is coming back, it took me 10 mins. to get in last night. Just like before. There is no other server to alot of people!!! Is there anything all of us could do to change your mind? Appreciate all you've done FK.

well dang, i used to love playing on mob#2 when it was on mohaa before it went to spearhead. then i got my own server for mohaa and havent had to much time to play spearhead. #2 rocked at the time, that was the only server i would play on cause i love the custom maps you used. i do agree their are tons of cheaters out their ruinning the game. i also try my hardest to keep them out of my server, buts its hard to do 24 hours a day. and CI can only do so much. i have tried a few times when i get a bug up my butt to play some spearhead to get on #2, but it was full most of the time. i have missed the fun times i had playing on it, and hope you the best.

FK I have just read your post and to tell the truth a little shocked. I have had the pleasure of talking to you and I believe you really have a love for this game or else you would have not spent so much time doing what you've been doing.
Servers are not always full but that does not mean they are not used.The last couple weeks you have seen me,Cobra ,Nixon Dio,and once in awhile Big Dick Daddy.The 5 newest members of MOB play Spearhead exclusively and of course yourself.Thats 11 from MOB. Most of the posts in mob forum come From spearhead players.Yes some are with problems but the players are now starting to help each other.I'm sorry but I believe that your heart is to big and you can't say no to people.You move into another area and the same thing will happen as soon as help is needed you will be there and the circle will start again. I would ask you give it a little longer change you name while playing and enjoy what you do best in your house (spearhead server #2) killing and having fun.Also you would be kicking the two oldest players in MOHAA out of our nursing home (me and Father-murphy).I would hope to catch you on team speak because I'm not as good typing my thought's. If you do go I do send all my prayers with you and hope you find happiness in your new adventures ps. if there is anything any mob player can do to help I'm sure some of us would step in -------------------- |

I sure do hate to see you shut down the server. The only server I used to play on and was just beginning to come back to. Just when I was going to come back to server 2 I lost my Dsl connection for a while through a misunderstanding with phone companies and have been offline for about 2 weeks. But besides all of that stuff I understand your situation and the frustration of it all. I too wish it could be a cheat free community but have began to realize it's not gonna happen. But hey, maybe with future games someone will come out with something when the game comes out to keep the cheats from happening. I appreciate all you have done for me and the whole mohaa community.Enjoyed it while it lasted. P.S. Hope everything goes well for you and if you need anything you know how to get in touch.

Well this is a sad day, FK, and though I hope you change your mind, do what you feel is best. I play on this server exclusively because I like the comraderie you've built here, a truly good community, and I appreciate your unfailing efforts. If you're sick of people bugging you while playing, just say so. I don't think anyone knew how annoying it must have been. I'll miss this server, can't think of anywhere else I'd like to be. But if that's your decision, god bless.

Hey FK I can be lazy at times, I’ve been wanting to do the sv_pure install for awhile now I just haven’t got around to it. I was fixing to do it today and of coarse something came up. I don’t think everybody minds doing these few things , they have just not got around to it. I played the Mob#2 in the last couple of weeks with Casino, and few other guys. I think that a lot of us are fed up with the cheating issues also. I logged on to All Seeing Eye today and seen where Cobra, Nixon, and Old Man were playing. I was really wanting to play with these guys since I play with them on Mob #1. One of the main reasons I don’t play Mob #2 as much is that most of the MOB talent is on Mob#1. I think since you guys have added a few MOB members to the roster that the game play will pickup. I really want to see how good the new MOB members are. Whatever your decision is I just wanted to say thanks for putting in all the work you have for this server. I read your post and said to myself "poor guy" It seemed that you were overwhelmed.
Thanks Zillah -------------------- |
