Maps end in 2 minutes.

I hate when I'm in a map with one other player who runs around shooting all the bots, ends the map quickly and I never got shot at once.
If you know every spawn point and every bot on every map, it's time to play a different game.
Save the easy stuff for the n00bs and come out & Ffffffight!!

I hear ya Fuzz but it's been that way since day one...although I do agree, it does seem worse when only two play.
Funny but I use to run a few two player maps for one on one challenges, then again most players were to scared to play.
A couple times I even changed/moved around spawn points just so there wouldn't be so many spawn/bot kills.
Then I realized that altering maps was a bad thing...

Maybe bring a couple of those maps back....wouldn't hurt !!

That's 1 of many reasons I like overpowered monsters like the GrimReaper. It's virtually impossible to "run to the end" as some do when an unstoppable creature keeps teleporting where you are and killing you with one swipe of its scythe...

...of course, that can lead to other problems.

My server is dead enough...
So the next move would be to remove (MRS) all together...

[ELvis]

Please don't !

[MEAT]

Please don't !

MEAT needs a break so I'll will be shutting down for a week or so.
Not sure what the plans are (MRS)...

[umonodo]

I know that if I were you I should be very sad to see the server almost empty. I'm sad because of all the good moments I had on MRS (despite my frustrating ping) and if you even close MRS for good it's a part of all the good old farts I've known since the very first times on Herms and then on MRS that will die too. But that's life... time passed by and maybe people went to the higher skill they could reach.
Whatever you do with your server, I wanted to thank you for all these great souvenirs I have had on MRS.

So... thank you boss... very much

Just noticed that. Think you meant "monsters".

Just submitted a map to ut99 for bot-pathing, which should be impossible for anyone to end in 2 minutes or rush through. It's an old edit I just got around to (again) been putting off for years, of a box-styled-map. Not only because there's stuff in the way to prevent players from getting too far ahead of others, it's got increasing levels of difficult monsters the further you go through.

While it hasn't been pathed yet, it's good to go for those who aren't so big on bots backing them up.

Give it a try, Fuzzy · https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=91891#p91891

Just to add to Umo's post..

So true, we've all had great times and THANK YOU MEAT for all the great times and all the people I met....yeah, even Paula.

I noticed it was down over the weekend and had to play on "another" server, but, just wasn't the same...not even close.

Keep us posted on what the decision is MEAT.
