The Illuminati server is half time down, half time up these last few days.
It has fewer players when up in comparison to the other royal servers by r0x or Rafael.
However, since yesterday, it has regained the upper hand.
Illuminati finally uploaded their own royal map.
They change the credits to theirs and making the second short race part similar to the first (a spread of medium platforms above a long freeze zone that covers most of the surface.
The most striking addition is a membership zone. The entrance is at the start leading by teleport to the new facility in the big outmap square. Only members can access it, others are not only refused access, but killed if trying to.
The members zone can give or remove rainbow, all weapons, including endless, teleport to key parts of the map and give exclusive access to the outmap.
When asked for how to get membership, Teemo said it was with skill, but confirmed it was possible by paying.
Another hidden facility for general use is a hidden room accessible from the end of long race with a dummy, which can give or remove all weapons and teleport to the end race.
They bound sounds to emotes.
The server name changed slightly, being added "S1" at the end.
Comments:
They are advancing their plan despite the recent counter-attacks made against them. Maybe they incited them to act sooner with these change.
They are expanding their privilege system, making it more official and automatic. The placement of the member-only zones is very flashy and superior. They are positioned in sight of everyone, at the end and at the beginning, always on the top. The members have truly a huge advantage. It is becoming a Pay2Win, and if Teemo also gives it to skilled players as he says, it will only unbalance the game even further, giving the strong more options. Killing people who try to enter the membership zone and only warning them afterwards is a further nefarious move, typical of their trolling, just like their server is named "Illuminati" and vali has an alternate name "DDoS.exe".
They are most likely making money out of it, and will continue more into this direction. It was predictable they would become like Persian blockers in this aspect. Though, I think they are going to make their con even worse.
The only decent change they brought was this long race alternative way, which can create more dynamic, though it is not brilliant mapping either.
The emotes' sounds are a nice idea, though they are still not adjusted. Don't hesitate to use emote spam bots to annoy the servers with horrible sounds; while spamming in chat the truth about Illuminati and the link to this thread http://qr.net/serv
The "S1" indicates they are planning to bring their other servers back.
Catch16 is the best mod! It is not zCatch, but its ancestor, only the original is better.
