If that were her reason for not making it a priority that would be selfish. There has to be more to it than that. But I do think that a quick switch to something like "Sort by Ping" would be pretty easy to implement. Probably one line of code I'd imagine. I don't mind people like Crimson having high level nicks and their servers showing up at the top. But when people hoard them or waive them around like they're a rare jewel ... that's straight up WRONG. And we've been seeing more and more of that. Anyway, back on topic ... the server has been doing well and seeing many new faces. We had some good games yesterday (8v8).

Fl00d3d, if you think renegade is such an ease to decode (translate asm to C or such thing) then why not do it for yourself? It has to be said, it isn't that easy, even rather hard.
And you sid it is selfish of crimson not to make it a priority, but by your anology I could state the same about you, you would be selfish because(I guess) you don't have a a000000 nick, personnally even if BlackIntel didn't have 3 a000000 names, I would still prefer renguard fixed up then fixing the listings.


OK, brotha ... back off. Just chill. I wasn't trying to take a stab at anyone.

First of all, I know enough about programming to know that when things are set to sort they're usually specified by a single value or variable. Under this assumption, I suggested that it is PROBABLY just an easy switch. Do you know otherwise? Because to be completely honest, even *IF* it were terribly hard for them to switch what was being sorted, that would be an absolutely terrible design flaw on their end to program such intricate code that has no flexibility in times like these. Don't try to be a self-proclaimed expert ... and God knows I sure as hell didn't. But don't treat me like an idiot either.

As for the nicknames, I've had a problem with the sorting method for quite some time. If things were sort by [lets say] ping then that would be something that was more in the control of each server owner than a '$200/mo xwis login' that was hoarded by a group of people knowing it was worth something. It should have NEVER been like that. I'm not being selfish at all. I want the server owners to be able to list their servers and compete on a fair level for players, etc. It is not that way right now - there is a very unfair advantage to those that have good xwis logins whether you want to accept that or not. And to be completely honest I think the XWIS folks know that and just don't give a damn.

I hope this is fixed sooner than later, but in the meantime I have a handful of nicks that we can use for our servers.

EvilWhiteDragon: please don't come at me like that when I'm sincerely looking out for a general interest. I wasn't trying to start a flamewar over it.
