Boss server
« on: July 10, 2010, 11:04:24 AM »
I have been hearing alot of bad things abut this server, and how people hate when they have to go there to play with more than 3 people, but I've never seen it ???.

Is it actually called "Boss", or is this just a nickname?

Has it been removed?

Is my computer just messed up?

It's not that i'm like "Darn, I can't play on Boss". It's just a little odd considering all of the things I've heard about it.

It's a cracked server, so people who stole the game can play on it. A lot of shitty play has been observed there (like admins kicking people so their friends can steal the now empty mech), and the first and only hacker I've seen was on Boss. And I know for a fact a BA can't outrun an Osiris travelling at 163kph, but this guy managed. It's been great without Boss around.

I'm guessing it's gone then ???

Cool, more players on the good servers 8).

Could not agree with you more.
I used to play on it myself until I found out what kind of server it was, after that I avoided it like the plague.
and the good servers, as you call them, are actually run by ppl who dont kick you just for kicks or because they want their firends to have your mech or whatnot.
Good thing its gone, now players have to buy the game if they wanna play.
This way they will support both Crytek and MWLL development.

It was indeed a pirate server, but for all of 1.0 and 2.0, it was the most populated. Rarely any other server had as many people consistantly playing on it.

I haven't seen it around since 3.0 and I don't exactly mourn its loss. There are new servers now with just as many people (and just as many nubs), and that's what matters most.

Stealing means the original owner lost its copy. Stealing is a word ill fitted for software piracy.
The thing is there are still servers running without CD-key check  and at least one of them are usually well populated. Still, no one complains about it, so my thinking is that people where most upset about other aspects of the BOSS server. That or they got their rage on from the word "CRACKED" in its name.

I had both good and bad matches on the BOSS server once it was up and I still have good and bad matches on other servers.
Like Freakazoid said, as much as things change they always stay the same on some level.

/Merf - *rolls its eyes at the people who where so upset with the server they still need to use curses to express themselves regarding it*

I had mostly good experiences with the BoSS sever. Even though it was a cracked server is was populated when others were not and had a good ping.

I never did like the BoSS server. It had bad lag (ping was average), and a slew of other problems. Kill the wrong person and you get get a random D/C.

I'm glad its gone as I see plenty of people playing on many different servers, 12 players on 8 servers looks more alive then 24 on 4 servers IMO.

At least BOSS "only" had a ping of 260.

The Russian server that everyone's playing on now has a ping of 390 for me :(

Trying hitting an aero or BA with a ping of 390...

I dunno where you play from, but I rarely get a ping above 100 for that server.
Normally I'm around 50-70

It's gone??? WOOO!!!!  Although I do feel your ping pain Virt (for those who don't know, we're down in Oz, ping to EU servers is usually a nightmare for us).

Same here (NZ is a rock off the coast of LOLstralia). Euro servers are a no go. USA, 3FL, or don't play.
