Is there anyway to put the MV map on the frontpage again?
I realy found it usefull to be able to see what was going on right on the frontpage, now we have to click the server first, ok its a small thing to do but i dont think a lot of ppl do that.

Yeah, I would prefer the old way. I hate having to choose the server....

Remember the reason behind the map not being there?
IF you dont, this is what i know.
So lobby campers couldnt find out what was going on, thus increasing the amnt of time a Hostile Capping force had b4 resistance built.
or something along those lines..

But a so-called "Lobby Camper" could just open the window and sit there anyway.

Its updated every 12 seconds.. in fact, that's where most of the lag comes from - the servers constantly blasting data at the map-making server (yes, its so intensive that it has its own server).
Think about that next time you ask for it on the home page!

While six hours would be too long of a dead zone (shoot, whole factions have been wiped out in three), 12 seconds is way to fast. I think 10 minutes would be adequet for the most part, since theres usually some loner in-game transporting Urd who can sound the alarm.
