Let's all try to be more positive!
Work is being done, and we're doing all we can. People don't do anything until they HAVE to. Well guess what, with the master server going down, people WILL either get the patch, use a third party tool, or won't play MOHAA at all.
Excuses such as, "it's too hard", are unacceptable. It's pretty easy to install Reborn on any server. If you're not willing to invest five minutes to learn how to install Reborn, go ahead and just order a dedicated server now from me because it will come with the latest fully functional version of Reborn.
When Reborn Client comes out, I could create an installer that would be as simple as a double click executable and reborn patch for client MOHAA has been installed.... No prompts or anything.
Reborn is the best thing that has ever happened to MOHAA, period. If configured properly,
it is impossible for anyone to crash your server with reborn. Without it, I believe MOHAA would have died back in 2010. We are a strong community and we must keep pushing forward. We cannot prevent the shutdown of the
Gamespy master server, but we can create new solutions, which we already have.
MOHAA has survived turbulence before, and I think that will continue. I play a lot of newer games too, but to be honest, after looking at my xfire gaming history for the week, I am somehow able to log 13 hours a week of MOHAA. Clearly, the game is not dead.
