I rememebr this scare, just browsing through the Triad news:
DXMP IN DANGER
05 June 2003
Everyone has been affraid of this moment. The game looks really dead at the moment...less servers and players every day. In our opinion, one of the reasons why people stopped playing was the continous suicide LAWing, GEPping and bitching with permission. Even a clan called [GAY] (mostly former [DEA] members) was formed just to come to the server to act simply...all gay.
We hope this isn't the end.
Of course, everybody thought it was the end. It's bigger now that in 03, funny that. Just odd that people still say this game's on the egde, it's been in the same position for just about 3 years.
