Nobody says you can't make a good 8.42 otserver yourself instead of complaining about how the other ones are bad?
See, it's obvious that the current majority of servers is a huge pile'o'shit, but repeating that over and over won't help the situation, will it?
If there was a team dedicated enough, working full-time on an otserver, I believe they would be able to pull off one of the greatest otservers within months.
No.
