<@Whammo-> He works hard to protect the integrity of the game

it makes sense that it would end at some point.

the log is no fake, i was there at the same time

and i also guess that etpro will end some time ("Who wants to live forever?")
but this is just making panic out of nothing

IMO ETPro has reached a point where not much can be made better (There are still some things i want to see implemented though), and at a certain time it will reach the point when it will remain as it is at this certain point and few people will keep playing it, but then (Nooneknowsforsurewhenthisis) some other games will rise that will attrack the players away from W:ET/ETPro.

Instead of whining we should all say thank you bani (and the crew™) for keeping this game alive this long (without etpro it would have been dead a long time ago)

BTW, if you analyse this piece of text he really says nothing that I couldn't have said not even being on the dev team.

A) I'm not very useful to them either
B) I kick around ideas on xfire, clanbase, every forum I'm not yet banned from
C) A year or 2 from here you'll still find ETPro servers like you still find RTCW OSP servers today
D) At some point we all die
E) I once haven't played for 6 weeks straight because of a thing called Real Life
F) What it tells me is that he should blow it out of his ass instead of out of his keyboard

.

So it's only FUD he's spreading and the one good thing that comes out of it is that we all are reminded to thank Bani & The Crew for their great work!

ETPro's great, but I think it's about time we had a new secure client for ET competition. Complete re-write anyone? w00

DG · Post by DG » Wed May 25, 2005 5:06 am

whammo's just stating a mix of the obvious and his personal view in a rather silly way.

Personally I view the ETPro dev team as Bani, Rain, Zinx and Fretn, with several other signficiant contributors, but then my impression isnt liable to be that much better than anyone elses.

nothing to see here, move along.

It makes sense that etpro wont last 4-ever, but i hope at least that some man willing to can continue improving etpro.

Etpro will get to a certain point where everything worth adding will be added, and there be nothing much else to do other then update the anticheat database.. It is true tho, how long could anyone of stood those stupid etmain bugs.. i think we all would of left a long time ago.
