I'm just noting that the hacks posted for True Classic such as the one in [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] ALSO work on love2hate including the composition bug, aimbot etc without any modification. So the appeal of "play at love2hate less hackers!" is gone.
I also noted the player base on that server is pathetically low (15% of True Classics on average) while the ping is quite high even for Europeans (your server is based in Europe). Therefore your suggestion to "just play at love2hate" really doesn't look appealing at all when it currently seems inferior to True Classic in every way. Could change in the future but as of right now TC is the only "classic" server worth playing, even if it is a 2.0 binary server.
But have yet to produce anything closer. I'm not really on anyone's side here, I'm just a player(among many) searching for a quality classic server. And they all get trashed for not being classic enough, or DDOS'd to oblivion or targeted by people who make it their goal to crack every patch. Everyone downplays how the 'classic' private servers aren't 1.0 enough, all while failing to produce a server closer to 1.0, themselves. It really sucks to be an old school conquer player right now.
But hey all of this was said in my previous posts you quoted. :rolleyes: so to those who comprehended it the first time, I apologize for the redundancy.

While I appreciate the; "common players" feedback- you should at least attempt to get your facts straight before 'downrating' our server (however I'm sure it wasn't your intention- merely 'true feedback' from your perspective).
All of said 'hacks' mentioned- are
not usable on Love2Hate. Perhaps at one point while we were testing out different security methods but I assure you we take every precaution possible to derail any 'cheating' attempts.
I respect True Classic, their player base and what all of the 'devs' there have done to make it what it is. I just question their 'hosts' morales and the way they do things aside from server work. True classic is over a year old now? Love2Hate just over 2 weeks- and yet we have an average online player base of 50 players which is pretty cool.
I think it should be noted, that we are not trying to 'compete' with TrueClassic. All servers offer a unique experience in their own way. We are (I believe [but could be wrong])- the only EU "classic" server out there. Or at least we try to be as classic as we can be- without conforming to retarded standards (dropping 10k cps per mob or mirroring co 2.0.. Why??). TC is it's own game- and in its own league. We just take our own ideas, friends and hard work and try to offer an alternative european experience.
As far as the lag goes- we are only on a VPS at the moment and unfortunately have been subject to quite a few petty DDOS attacks for no reason. As fast as the VPS is, it's not going to be lag free with those kind of variables unfortunately. Dedicated hosting is expensive- and we simply don't have the funds, donations or player base to upgrade to such hosting yet.
The aim of L2H is simple. Give people a fun, retard-free gaming experience. Do I consider it a work of art? No. Do I think I'm some kind of elite coder? Heck no. Do I think it will be 'the most popular server in the world'.. Definitley not.. But, when all is said and done- the people like it. I like it- and it serves a perfect home to our player base until we have time to work on our C# source.
To each their own- and good luck finding a server that suits you.
