Not with the current gen of Server Owners, they just download and run, edit the features and call it custom...
You are the part of this generation as well.
You are the part of the OTCommunity we all make.
So if everybody complained about how bad the current owners were, the situation would be obvious?
Maybe if you search around a bit, you'll see that people are actually working on such projects, but because the same hypocritical base of players that wants custom servers so bad are actually players of those download-run servers, custom servers keep dying out. I know of servers that have been worked on for years (my own one can be taken as an example), yet have not even nearly as much players as the "lame RL map OTs" that you all play have.
I just opened the Jobs and Discussion section, and I already found (this, this, this, this, this, this,... do you want me to list more?) many servers and custom projects that are being worked on. It's like you people don't wanna see any of this and just whine about the negative things. Go support a project or even better - join its team if you can do something useful. Just 1 new follower means a lot to someone who actually puts effort in their work.
Jesus fuck.

No reason to be harsh now, maybe because a lot of the custom servers haven't been opened or close not to long after...
and kinda putting accent here on server owners, the server audience should be addressed instead. It's not the fault of RL map owners that people massively buy into that kind of worthless shit and they earn easy money on it - they see an opportunity to earn some cash here, so why not.Stop with the Real map projects.. Make an actual OT..
about mapping: I realised that players prefer map they already know, therefore I've abadoned all of my old custom maps and decided to edit evo heavily instead(link in my signature), I've released basic datapack so far, fully working one will be released once my work on it will be done. I don't care for profits, I'm going to share my data with otlanders to start new generation of RPG/fun evolution servers, I still believe that some users here can make good servers.
Nobody says you can't make a good 8.42 otserver yourself instead of complaining about how the other ones are bad?No, I am part of the 8.42 gen thank you
