Just as a head-ups, this is how Medivia's staff responds to criticism. I'm not active anymore, but today I tried to log to my character and saw this:
(A month ago I posted on Medivia's forum about how the update revealed a huge amount of cheaters when the average number of players online greatly dropped immediately after the update, and pointed out that something's ought to be done about the situation before it destroys the server)
[France] Medivia Online - Legacy & Spectrum | CUSTOM 7.4 | [Windows / Linux / OS X]
I've always rooted out for this server, and I even actively promoted it during it's early days, but good lord, this is just insulting. Are artificial numbers really that important? For those that don't know, Medivia got "banned" from Otservlist a couple months ago because they refused to stop reporting massive-multi clienters as additional players. I won't play here anymore but I really hope that Ironyt stops turning a blind-eye on cheaters, even moreso now that "advanced" paid cheat tools exist...cheaters may boost the number of players online temporarily, but it the long run it will do permanent damage to the server.
