The thing is ICI is servers are just too big these days, plaers have forgot about the curtasy of welcoming another player.
When I used to run Salamanders War on DF2 it was only a small server of 6-8 players. I used to get killed most times typing into the new one coming into the game. Things I think were more closer in those days as the comunity pulled together more because of the small servers and the ease of being able to talk more during a game.
But I do like being personally Greeted, Not one of those welcome bots that dont care if your there or not.
Man Dont I go on and on...lol
