Why must the best servers always shutdown?
It's 1.0 isn't it? Not too many people playing it now I assume? All those 100 man servers are stealing players from the 64 and under servers. Damn shame.

Re: |TG| TacticalGamer.com (North America)
In our case, simply because people wouldn't seed it unless they were an admin, and people wouldn't play on it. Constant server crashes caused by 1.0 server code and players moving en masse to other servers after a crash were the nails in the coffin. If people are upset it's gone there is really nowhere to look for answers than themselves, to be blunt about it.obpmgmua wrote: GODDAMNIT!!!

It's been a great run, but it's time to move on. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed playing on our server and supported it. Best of luck to the remaining servers, their admins and the community! Many TG players will still be around, maybe even playing PR elsewhere, but we most likely will not be hosting a PR server again, at least not a BF2 PR server.

Surely a sign of the times for PR. When all the good servers are gone... so go the player base. Time to move on. Thank you TG, you left with your reputation of respect and teamwork intact. No other server can hold a candle to TG

Sorry to see you guys go. TG was the server that I learned how to play PR on. I can't think of Qwai river without thinking of TG.

If you had more then 1 active admin I bet this situation would be entirely different right now. I read many poor reasons on the TG forums, the truth is the TG community has moved on well before 1.0 came out. When 1.0 finally came out there was little to no actual effort to stimulate the TG members activity.
I'm not sad or surprised the server went under, since it shut down the first time you guys have never been the same. No motivation, no admins, and you actually expect people to seed a server without any admins present? Get your head out your butt and use some common sense.
Good riddance to a once amazing server turned to the wild west by inept, absent leadership so eager to point their finger at the "community" when the failing of the server lies solely with those who choose not to care.

Re: |TG| TacticalGamer.com (North America)
To trying to pee on the fire or anything but I thought I would give some feeback as to why prWARs was always reluctant to go to TG.
We didn't have protected tags. I've personally asked several times (in this thread even) with no reply. prWARs is easily one of the biggest (if not the biggest) clan in the community. It's hard to think of teamwork and everything the TG server was trying to set into focus, when you can't play with the guys you are tagged with. 9/10 times when the HOG server was down and TG was semi populated, most of us would just call it instead of going to TG because it was always a chore trying to get an admins attention to switch over a few guys. If we managed to do that, as soon as one of us would die, it would shoot us back over to the other team.
Without protected tags, you are trying to push a heavily teamwork orented style of play to pub players because the clans aren't going to be there.
People will argue that it hurts team balance, but we have always agreed to switch sides as a clan to help balance things out. On top of that, if we had 8 guys on, its not like we would have 1 squad with all 8 of us. 99% of the time with 8+ guys we are split between 3-4 squads with some of us squad leading inf (usually guys like Nardz123) and others helping with trans and assets with most of the squads comprised of pubs with prwars squad leaders.
I guess this is all water under the bridge now. Still sad to see what I consider THE project reality server go away. Even if the 2nd time around wasn't the old expereince.

@Murphy - It isn't worth the effort to get into a pissing match over what you wrote, so I'll let you think what you want, it doesn't really matter anymore.
@Tequilabot - We did protect PRwars tags. It was requested that we do so in our CAA forums by Nardz with the promise of helping to seed the server, the request was granted and we never saw PRwars again.
@L4gi, it was a pleasure playing with you, and I appreciate the help you gave us in bringing OD-S to TG when we ran events. You're a class act. Best of luck to you.
