About the platforms, they are just the normal map part. you can shoot people down or you can shoot people up meaning that if someone is on the rope or on a platform above you, they can shoot you and you can shoot them. so no, you can't really hide from people that want to kill you by going up the platform.
You have the safe zone, though where you can regenerate your health and get items like weapons, food, potions...
Regarding the server uptime, I'm hosting the server for sound worx, so that's my job to worry about the server, which I do. It's never down unless: 1. the server is rebooting (takes no more than 5 mins), 2. something unplanned happened e.g. internet los, or a powercut.
regarding lags and replay value, U P has very good replay value and has more features than you preassume (you have level system, features like auto follow, trading, voices (you can speak a few phrases (like follow me...) with the voice of your choice (kinda like in swamp), safe zone (where you can regenerate your health and get items like weapons, potions, food...), you also have activities which are something like missions/quests...)
About lag, for that, you'll have to yell at bgt's network implementation. Because, I'm guessing it has never been meant for more than 2 players online at the time and especially not for fast paste games, but, mason made it handle more than 2 people at the time, which when there are too many people connected can cause a catastrofic lag, but you should respect that.
It's the only bgt game so far that is online (pretty rare), has support for more than 2 people at the time and the whole 2d platforming map handling with all ite
ms being synced and handled by server (no other game has that).
