I'm just gonna ask this here. Is there anything that makes the current iteration of the server unique from the previous neb HL2RP server runs?
we went from having a city, to having our hubs periodically destroyed and suffering the anarchy of trying to establish new homes and settlements
a lot more transitional, it feels like you have to be on the server or else you're going to miss a lot
lots of freedom to do your own thing, whether or not other people follow you is another question. established groups do have an advantage, but other groups are free to apply for their own groups so it's not necessarily a bad thing.
