Yea but lets be real if you could open a server and make some extra cash ofc you would.. Why not? If he really wanted to farm cash from dumb people he would add a bunch of custom items like soft boots etc and 100cc on shop..
Yes, the server strikes me as serious as a server can be. It's so good I'd like it to last forever. I don't get the complaint that it's empty. To my experience it isn't. I mean, sometimes I'm having a hard time finding a spawn because so many are crowded and people are fighting for them. I had the fortunate nostalgia experience yesterday of having a guy screaming "leave!" at me when I entered his spawn. I had to walk all the way to Mintwallin a few days ago just because Minos in Darashia were constantly occupied. That's the way it should be and I like it.
