I appreciate your honesty! For starters, your dedication is always appreciated. As a staff member, it becomes somewhat discouraging when a server you know very well and love becomes a dead city like Classic TNT has. So when we have a player, such as yourself, as enthusiastic about it, it passes on to us. However, as nice as that is, it does not help the server get it's traffic back. I may not have joined this community in it's early days but I joined in September 2011 - when every Saturday morning meant sitting there, hitting refresh to log on because it was always full. I think maybe because that is what a lot of us are used to, that we are okay with this change because we realized Classic TNT will never be what it used to be. Most of my best times here in Blocktopia have happened on that server. In a few months, I would have staffed that server for 2 years consistently. Every week I was getting over 50 hours of stafftime. One week I got 72 hours. Why am I telling you this? Because I know how you feel. Given, I've had a few months to accept the idea and even witness it in action so it's easier for me but I have certainly spent time thinking about your above points. You are right in saying the server is healthy; this server has been polished over the years to perfection. Unfortunately this perfection is not being used, which is why we are closing it. More players are going then coming. I can fully understand your concerns though, since as I said above, they were and still are some of mine but overall, I personally feel the benefits outweigh the costs. I can say that because I have had the chance to see destroyerx1 and WinX's beauty in action! Of course knowing that moving from Classic to Premium, it could never be the same and we also were not going for a 1:1 copy of it either so there are a lot of differences that actually improve the gameplay of the server. But there are still some similarities. I appreciate your open mind though to give it a try. It may not be what you are used to but it could be something very good in the end. At the end of the day though, the concept of TNT Wars still lives on! You will forever be locked in an eternal battle with the other teams!

Very good points. I understand that TNT is going to be made premium. I know that many poeple want this to happen. I know that it will most likely be more active after the move to prmeium. I know the concept will stay the same generaly. I understand the reason for the large change. But I can not accept change, I try with many things in my life but it doesn't happen.

So, here is my guess at what part of the game play might be like. Obviously tnt is used for destructive, and demolition type purposes, so why wouldn't it be used for such on the new server i.e. Destroying the opposing team's structure, all the while they're try to do the same. At least that would be the basic premise, I'm sure there's more to it than that though.

You can try demolishing the other teams structure, but don't expect to win the game by doing that. We're still sticking to the "Kill people to get points" but we're not going for a direct copy of classic. There will be changes here and there.

If you've played classic TNT, then you get the general idea of how this is going to be played. But, you'll have to wait and see when we go live. I will say this; It is a welcome change and is very fun! =D

That's fine. x3 Just a simple discussion, not saying YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT NOW. But it's nice to see that even though it's something you struggle with, you are still able to go against that and try. :) Take it slow and let's see how it goes!

Add 1 to the people who gave a fuck. Not that this is suprising by all means but it was the first server of blocktopia I joined in January of 2011 :)

Capture the Flag! :D This part of classic TNT was the only point of the game I was good at. I hope that sort of gameplay is carried on to Premium. :)

Also, I cannot stress this enough but, PLEEEEEEASE, PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND HOLY. PLEASE DO NOT LET THERE BE A MAP LIKE EVIL *cringe*

It is not spec intensive at all. Its pretty good. It has been kept in mind as in a FPS you kinda want it to be as smooth as possible.
