Reclaimer, ATDM was officially dead in 2004/2005. Only occasion where there was any auging going on for several months was the jan 2005 DXMP Marathon. Of course they were strictly 0augers, but what 0augers. When ever I wanted to go for an aug game I could only see JoePineapples camp in the empty triad server.
As opposed to the auged scene 0augs were truly shining for maybe 6 months, from later half of 2004 to first half of 2005. Fantastic games with extremely skilled players from (by dx standards) many different clans. While I dont think 0augs has too much to do with what DXMP should be about, it has always been hilarious to see atdm players look down on a gametype that in its simplicity still requires more skill than the auged 0aug noobs often realize, or wish to realize. Dont get me wrong, augs are fucking fantastic, but retarded people are retarded.
