-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] My host uses Windows and is letting me use the 32 player hack. They even provide it but I dont trust it as they dont always have the most up to date mods... But now I have a 30 slot server. I wonder if its better to just have 2 24 slot servers :P

There are already enough 32man servers to flood pages of the listing, and those who still wish to run 24 slot servers can do so, so if there are those out there that wish they could run 32x but arn't given the option, wouldn't it be better to let them? It's just a game, after all. - Neph On Feb 11, 2008 9:08 PM, Tony Paloma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But once a plugin is freely available, server hosts will most likely start offering 32 player servers.
