you're a disgrace
the problem here was that Chad and the development team have always treated au like this. au has always been buggy, sometimes never got patches/fixes/maps, and for the last few days of its life was constantly crashing. the au community deserved at least a warning. the way that chad and the devs have dealt with this is disgraceful and inconsiderate of the au community. we have a right to speak our mind, no?
we need to show them how we feel so there's a chance that we might get the servers back. because from what chad said, about them not "loosing much", there wasn't much of a chance in their minds. if they see how upset we get, then there's a chance that they'll listen to us and hopefully add the servers back.
also about the donor. the rank becomes useless if you don't play on the servers, because for 99% of australia, us and eu are unplayably laggy. and selling a service which doesn't work as advertised is illegal under australian law. now, this may not apply to all cases but charge backs can happen on a case by case basis. don't complain about people complaining about their wasted money. you don't know how their financial situation is or how hard they worked for the $100 that Diamond donor is. remember, most of the people here don't even have jobs.
these kinds of posts show how "considerate" we are, sure, but it also shows that some of us don't really care how the devs and owner treated our community. in reality the backlash should be a wakeup call to the devs, and should be treated as one.
