I am not playing this version but still Fribben, I have one thing to say about you.
You claim you are making this server for the players, as you said before "For the players by the players".
But for the last 5 versions of your server, everytime when 80% of the people are voting for changes or telling you how they would like the server to be, you are just making your own plan again and saying that it will not happen.
You said people want 8.0 but where are the people? As far as I know the most war people would like to play on 7.72 and not 8.0. Without the main war teams you will never keep your server alive.
I think more people will agree with me on this one.
