The reason why people play on it is because of its history. The reason you hack on it is because of no rules which leads to people using them. Which led to it becoming a must-have to survive on it.
The reason some go so far as to hack the server, backdoor plugins Hause could install, social engineering an exploit into paper, yada yada ya. is. because of recognition, money, and the fun/learning experience.(edited)

Normal human beings wouldn't understand it. But as a game hacking maniac myself, I would have done it too if I was capable to do it.
2B2T, hosted by Housemaster, the most ridiculous hoster ever. Promising anarchy, but he intends to control everything himself, abusing queue "premium" skips which lets to a "pay to join" type of business and is mostly known for breaking Minecraft's EULA a couple of times.

So deserved

from here in DDNet, there is no reason to do such things, as in this is not an anarchy community (thank god)

As a player, I don't give a shit about him, I mind my business, as well as him. As a hoster, he is using manipulative techniques in order to lure players onto his own profit
he after all is the reason he can earn a living making youtube videos about an old server

Microsoft still enforces the EULA, but Hausemaster either dodges them, or made a deal with them, cuz if it's so profitable (considering that there are hundreds of players paying monthly for a premium subscription, again illegal according to EULA)
If Teeworlds would have an EULA, then first: It must be enforced onto players, hosters and developers equally.
Second: the playerbase must be controlled by that EULA
How he does moderation is my own personal opinion, simply it's the community's issue, but normally monetization in a way, where it's similar to a Casino is absurd, even for Microsoft itself
Documents are there in Youtube videos, Youtubers covering this issue, which themselves have more experience, than I do
Facts which you cannot prove it otherwise, cuz there are no documents covering it
And you protecting him makes it very idiotic, cuz you cannot show any positive thing Hausemaster made, before he made his retirement as Main hoster before 2014
I don't think you can really criticize the queue system because for free players it's not like they loose anything and paid players get a better service. How is that wrong?
and dedicated a lot of time in my school years to that server(edited)
16:39
I am pretty sure I know more about the server than you with all of these videos you watched
16:41
You, a spectator, couldn't even give me a single link to a video, forum post, or something else, that shows how Hausemaster is disrespectful to its players
16:42
pilonpl is right, he is controversial due to his actions. but in no way did he insult players, nor has been disrespectful in any other way.
16:43
if people pay to not have to wait 8 hours to join the server, then that's their choice. I call that knowing the worth of your time/having a steady money flow income. The minimum wage here in Germany is around 11€. If you rather wait 8 hours every single time you want to join a server instead of paying 20$ every month that you can pay with 2 hours of work here. Then yea, it's up to you. The system though is in no way unfair. If everyone starts to buy a premium queue subscription. The premium queue gets longer (instead of being empty) because only a set amount of premium players can be on the server at the same time. Resulting in free-to-play players getting faster on the server.(edited)
I was never there when it happened. But legends say he had a base and killed people finding it. The legend also claims he reloaded the chunks and moved his base.(edited)
16:45
Which coming from a server owner who says doesn't put his hands on how people play the server passively plays on the server. Would be a controversial move.(edited)
Dont want to butt in but just want to add my two cents, priority logging/joining been know to mmo games for years and in some it does give an advantage (in all those that if U die U are logged out) and second thing... does microsoft really forces private server owners to do things the way microsoft envisions? If so then it wont be long till somone just recreates the game in open source manner

The difference is that you don't get logged out if you get killed.(edited)

There were events hosted by groups of players that intentionally got free-tier players kicked using methods on the players that make them act in a way that the anti-cheat would kick for(edited)
17:05
Or chunk banned people (which would affect premium queue members as well)
And in one of the latest ones I think he showed you how to report servers that are actually against Microsofts guidelines.
17:11
So they can take down those servers. Yes. Probably in form of a lawsuit. "If you don't stop hosting that kind of a server. We will fine you into debt.". Basically taking away the money they earned with that kind of server. Which based on experiences on Club Penguin's private servers. Doesn't work 10 out of 10 times.(edited)
Microsoft should just launch their own servers... whats the point of having private one if U cant make it the way U want, doesnt matter if U are a greedy arsehole or somone who envisions grand rpg world and does it free of charge
As in lets say according to local law U can host sex rpg adventures without checking age of users except simple "are you over 18" but according to microsoft not really so they would take U down?
default
Yet if you store 30TB+ of world data on SSDs. (edited)
Im surprised that engine can work with 30tb files unless they"re split and processed "intelligently"
17:18
I mostly come from mmo games that have problem with world mapa over 350mb

I don't know. It's their game. Some Club Penguin PS's were doing nothing wrong and haven't had staff teams on them that would molest kids on the internet.(edited)
17:18
Yet Disney ended up just taking down every server
17:18
They have the rights to that game. They can do whatever they want with it.(edited)

But sadly despite being open source people only see money so instead of contributing when the find flaws in engine or whatever protocol they abuse it to ruin competition
17:24
They"re kinda like pirates, take what U can, give nothing back
Yeah atleast ddnet can survive with donations tho in this case even if ddnet itself were to go down there would still be servers to play on just no points system and probably harder to get a new map
