My weekly rant about noobs...

I go on the serverlist...one server is busy, an "RPG" server...I join this "RPG" server and I am killed repeatedly by an armed player, killing unarmed players who have joined. And we wonder why DX is getting emptier.
It's the same about atdm servers, a Steam player who has never heard of binds, will just think you are all cheating. The servers that are up at the moment, even the best ones, are not going to do much to retain new players...People are just putting servers up without even thinking about it.
It really needs a concerted effort by all, to make message mods and other mods that speak the right things to the right people.
I have no sympathy for Brad to be honest, I can see why his server got attacked, it's not helping DX in anyway, in fact it gives DX a bad reputation. There is no "RPG" or brains on this server at all. Just killing unarmed players. It does little to bring the community together. I feel the same about other servers too, have their own faults.
Ironic that people like Mainman have put so much into RPG and what we have to offer is a noob server with people godding and killing unarmed players with ZERO rpg at all.
It's no wonder that DX is struggling.
