MOB and MOHAA Options

[Druid]

People having been talking about MOHAA dying for over a year, for once I think their right. With ASE I've watched the number of servers and people playing dwindle over the last several months. When Pacific Assault comes out, no doubt there will be another large group of people leaving MOHAA. Although I'm sure some of the people who initially leave to play PA will end up coming back. There is just something about MOHAA, which appeals to people that other games have failed to recreate. I know for me part of what I liked so much in MOHAA is the player movements just felt right. The player physics will completely change with PA as it will be using a new game engine. To try and keep mohaa around for the people who want to continue playing, we are going to make a few changes.



Missionary & Cheating

Cheating has been without a doubt one of the biggest reasons why many people have quit playing MOHAA. Now with Missionary we have a working anti-cheat. The only problem is it still lacks the enough players who support it. Sometimes we can successfully switch Goodfellas to Missionary Only, other times it kills the server. So, for those of you who want to play in a missionary only server, we will be running one starting late next week. Once the CTF tournament is finished, we will be switching that server over to a 24/7 missionary only server. Now everyone on Goodfellas will have the choice between playing in a missionary optional server or playing in the missionary only server. For MAC players, once the server is up, you can email me to receive the required password.

The missionary only server will be setup to allow only people to join if they are using missionary or if in the case of MAC players have the password. Goodfellas will remain the same and be used as a way to advertise the new missionary only server.


MOB Regs Clan
Regs clan, what's that?

With the end goal of keeping Mohaa around for those who will continue to enjoy it. We have decided the best way to accomplish that goal is to try and organize the people who have made the MOB servers their home from anywhere from the last few months to the last year.

MOB as a group has discussed this and came up with a list of initial members. We will be contacting each person privately to see if they are interested and to ask for recommendations on how insure this will be fun for those involved.

To get an idea, here is a short list perks.
1) Inter-Clan scrimmages. I know several of you have enjoyed when we have
had scrimmages in the past. This will simply make it easier to set them up.
2) Organized scrimmages with players from other servers. I'm going to try
and setup a schedule of scrimmages with regulars from a few other servers.
3) Password access to Goodfellas, I will be switching a few slots from
public to private.
4) Private forum access as there will be some issues best dealt with privately.
5) Input on future members
6) The Regs clan may also be used as a trial period before MOB membership.

Once the initial members have been contacted and we see who wants to participate, the 1st order of business will be for you guys to decide on a tag. We'll help with a few suggestions or it may be something completely different that one of you suggest but the final say will come down to you.

A misconception I think many people have is clans only exist for ladder competition. If you look down the list of MOHAA servers, you'll see most of the more popular server are ran by clans strictly for people to have play and have fun. ( *RS*, MGX, Loki's, Mech, JFH ) This is what the regs clan will be about.


There are lots of little details to work out, many of which we can't start with until we know if this idea will be supported and by how many people.
During these 1st few days while we work to make this idea a reality. We would appreciate any feedback you would like to offer.
What would you think would be the pros and cons?
Is this even do-able and if so, so you think it would be worth it?


As always thanks for your support and we'll see if we can keep MOHAA going
for another year.
