The majority of the people playing in this are new schoolers and not people who even focus on BW primarily, and or can barely hit C rank. How many of these new schoolers do I need to beat in grudge matches before I get a chance to play in this?  What are you talking about. Most of the people in it are "old school" TL'ers who are rusty noobs like me. I will gladly throw down with you despite barely playing in ~6 years. | ||

After the technical issues are worked out, will there be attempts to make the interface look more in the art style of the regular servers? Whose metallic boxes for buttons, loud button sounds when you click join game , that late 90s starcraft look? | ||

I can't imagine that the chatroom/game join setup (probably based on IRC, right?) takes up too much, but I don't know what the MM is projected to take up. Basically, should I start setting aside money to donate for upkeep? Maybe the ICCUP folks have an answer from their experience? https://shieldbattery.net/faq Will ShieldBattery cost anything? Is there a way to donate? Of course not. This is a project made purely out of our love for BW; by community members, for the community. As for the donation link, there isn't one at this time. The server costs are currently very manageable, and we'd prefer the community directed their funds to more needy causes. | ||
