Once again that is what people said not my words even thought my opinion goes in the same line. Anticus claimed it got hacked but yo cant say it is the most complete server and loved by everyone when their official first thread is full of complaints, most of them are complaints from before and after the hacker issue. The hacker issue was the last straw for Anticus.
I played the first day and it never got 400 players and yeah it had a decent number because many of us thought it was the right server, number that went down the first day and the server got closed several days after. Not only bugs, Anticus claimed it was a true 7.1 server with map and 7.1 pvp server when we discovered it was another 7.7 distro with no work on it. It even had the same bugs classicus had the first day...
Edit: You said he had good reputation? Here is his second try "oldero" LOLLLL

He could not even open it because of Anticus bad reputation.
Oldero was never Anticus.
The truth is that Oldero was never even launched at all, it was just fake.
Yes, it had about 400 players.
