Discovery Team Notice: Discontiuing support for Private Servers

[Dr Hooligan]

Has it not become abundantly clear that for every nuance you add to Discovery, like this one here, you lose in the overall playerbase? It's one thing to change mechanics of the game, which has caused plenty of player loss. But now you seem to intent on killing off server populations as a whole. Not everybody that tries Discovery mod will like it as it stands. And without other servers easily accessible, new players will not know that there is more than one way to play this game. *In case it is not obvious, majority of gamers are not actually that tech savy, they often look to others for help*. Which will turn them away in general. Thus they will not play the mod at all and move to other mods or games entirely. This is a very old game. It has a dwindling playerbase as it is. So why make it worse if you can easily avoid such?

Discovery GC has always and will always have the majority of players by default. That's the "mechanics" of the average player when new to this mod. Occasionally a small percentage of your players will move to other servers. Like 3% at best. You already have a monopoly and now seem to want a complete corporatocracy.. -_-

I personally stopped playing this game over a year ago(my steam library has over 200 titles), but host a dedi server just for those who like the game and mod, but not the rules or play style on GC. We have a small server pop. One that is not hurting your oh-so-glorious monopoly in any way, shape or form. Players that would not even play your mod if it weren't for my little servers existence. I have never, nor will ever try to "compete" with your server. Thus, this whole thing is ridiculous. You are only hurting your own server by doing this. Though I do believe it is your RIGHT to make this decision. I consider this just one more nail in the coffin of a dying game.
