The reason we kept kicking for a long period of time, is that we noticed a slight improvement in the hours after doing so. We weren't running any scripts, nor did we do it for selfish reasons. We also tried multiple restarts, but after an hour or two, the server was packed with dying people. This server thing is actually putting a strain on our enjoyment of the game. We're actually talking about stopping the server, because we no longer get time to do anything other than maintaining a good population in the server. This is why the server is down atm. The fact is that people always presume the worst of the admins. I think the admins should be allowed to take action when they think something fishy is up. You're right to be suspicious, but please do believe me when I say, we're doing this for your enjoyment on the server. Peace out. Torby
