I find it a shame that people just think they can assume control over goods that a customer payed for. As company you had an idea for a mod, to make this idea happen, you needed a "hive", yet you didn't want to go thru the hassle of hosting servers yourself. Instead you leave this to the customer, who pays (quite alot per slot compared to other games) for it and then you act all government on them and decide the rules. Since when have dedicated servers become this limited to control?! What's the point of renting out a dedi server if the owner can't even have full control over it. The only ways to solve this is either have each server have their own DB, simple. Or host your own servers and don't let people pay for what YOU should be paying for.
