If the GA server goes Newbie has to go too
What can Newbies learn on a scenario server, that will help them in the MV. Nothing more than they learned in the tutorial
And in the MV are also a lot of helpful players, ready to answer any question the new players ask

I dunno. Even for experienced players, the new MV was quite a plunge at first. Newbie (or Demo) should probably stay.

I agree. All Scens off, Halos still got hes server running.
Delta Pavions is safe heaven of UGTO ATM, because its IMPOSSIBLE to play there, too much LAG.
Actually its been laggy since release but its worse right now. If we cant have better servers, lets priorice server usage!
Otherwise New release is good work

Umm it would help if we remove the Lagmaker ship that is the UTGO's CarrierDread.
Fighters makes us lag the most

Not possible to erase planets ? Do you mean bomb ?
Its certainly possible to bomb bomb planets to the ground, much easier than before and possible with a single bomber cruiser.
That is how UGTO capped DP, invasions where not working, the def bases were shooting down to many infrantry pods and the rest simple made it easy for the troops to improve, so we simple bombed them to the ground.

Or can some rich guy buy Faustus some new servers? I know there has to be a few people that play this game that are filthy rich....

Its not going to take some rich guy to up the servers to a respectible level. Hell i could probably fund upping a few servers to 3.0 ghz myself (they only cost me about £160 each, without the staff discount i get from my company).
I believe F. is running around 12 servers. 4 duel processor machines means 8 single processors. This means a total cost of £1,280 to almost double the single cpu servers processing power.
